THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Thewrwitors on Saturday, though a little below the 31 i.mberh entering by payment and !wagon tickets on tote previous Saturday, showed a very good average attendance. The heat was less oppressive than on tbe ?ridgy We believe that no determination has yot been arrived at to change Saturday into a seMling d:tv, though the subject has been under cuusideratioa for the last two months. '2he Crown Prince of Saxony visited the Exhibi tion on Saturday, attended by Lieut.-Colonel Okstendish. Amongst the other distinguished viAtors were the Duke and Duchess of Manches ter, Earl and Countess Russell and family, Comte de 'Paris, Comte de Chambord, Earl of Morley, Sir 0. Wood, and Mies Burdett Coutts. The highest temperature on Saturday, taken by Negretti and Zambra's patent thermometers, was at 2.45 p.m. :—ln the nave, 89.9 deg. ; in the galleries, 72.P.deg. The following were the total numbers admitted on Saturday, compared with the corresponding day it 1861 : iesson ii trets ;Including flee ess (Payment ****** ileice4l 16,g,185 Bslterown der Re order, Aegw4 Toga. 1851.

CRYSTAL PALACE. The building And grounds of this popular institu tion were thrown open yesterday to between 3,000 and 4,000 visitors, chiefly of the middle class and of the higher artisan class, who were admitted gratuitously, by tickets distributed among the trade clubs and societies of London. The arrivals began to be numerous to rants two o'clock, and by three p.m. the hulk of the visitors had arrived. The grounds at this hour presented a pleasing aspect—dotted everywhere with quiet family groups, some walking on th e biped terraces, some meting on the turf in the shadow of the noble trees which adorn the gardens, some admiring the sculpture--all evidently enjoying the glorious weather, the pure air, the green foliage around them, and the far arreading landscape beyond. Within the building the groups. after promenading in the nave, assembled in front of the great orcheatrs to hear a performance of Named mimic on the grand organ. The pieces selected were chiefly from the oratorios of Handel, and they were listened to with apparently as much attention, and as thorough an en joyment of t►e great master's solemn strains, as could have been felt by the most highly educated musical audience. When the roughs was over a large number of the visitors pirtook of tea in the refreshment rooms, after which pro menading in the grounds became the general amusement. The most perfect order reigned everywhere throughout the day ; nothing in the shape of games or 'porta was anywhere observable; the quiet enjoyment of the sacred music, the Lively scenery and the delightful weather, appeared to be universally understood as in best keeping with the character of the day. We could net but be pleased to observe this prevalent tone, and to reflect upon the health and refreshment gained on this oc elision by thousands cf busy workers, whose lives are too often passed amidst the deleterious influences of crowded, ill-ventilated, gas-lit workshops. A similar excursion, it i s announced, will take place on the 17th of this month ; and the committee of management, in a small paper which they have put forth, invite benevolent persons who may approve thei r object to bead their cortributions to the care of W. Baxter, ea:rotary, at theCentml Committee-room, Newman'aCoffee- Loose, 11, High Holborn. The selection of Sunday for these excursions involves a question with which it is not our province to deal ; but reserving this point as one for individual)odgmeot, we cannot but wish well to any move ment tending to secure for the popular classes such health. ful, innocent, end, we may add, refined recreation as that which we saw several thousands quietly enjoying in the Crystal Palace and its beautiful gardens yesterday. MID.KENT RAILWAY. The report of the directors to the meeting to be held this day (ffieeday), states that the traffic for the past six month* shows • satisfactory increase over that of the corresponding months of 1861. The balance at the credit of the revenue account is 1.631/. 18a. 3d., which enables the directors to recom mend • dividend for the half-year of 21. per cent., insteul of 1/. 10s., which has been the rate for the corns pooding half of the four preceding years • leaving a balance of 102/. le. to be carried forward. It is recommeeeed to the proprietors that the additional capital which will be required for the construction of the Addiscombe line should be raised by the creation, under the powers of the recent Mt, of 9,000 shares of 5/. each, bearing • pref eren ti a l fi xe d dividend of 5 per cent. per annum, secured on the net la ceipis of the existing railway and on those which will he derived from the new line ; although there is little doubt that the receipts from the important district which the ex. teusioo will open up will more than suffice for the interest on its oust, mid 'hue leave the large acceasionof new traffic which lE will bring on the main line to increase the dividends on the original shares. It is prop osed to make the amount (ii.) of each share payable in four instalments; the first, of 21, on the Ist day of September next ; and the others, of 11. each, at intervals of three months; namely, on the Ist day of December, 1862, the lst day of March, 1863, and the let day of June, 1863. SLareholders will, however, be allowed at any time to pay up their shares is full, and the fixed divi dends of fd. per cent, will run from the day of payment either of each instalment, or of the amount in full. The hon.payment of any instalment within the time stipulated will render the share liable to forfeiture. at the discretion of the directors. The shares will be offered in the first instance for distribution rateably amongst the existing proprietors according to their present holding of shares. The directors believe that this arrangement will be found to be the best for providi .g the funds, and secnring the rapid construction of thn line, the importanze of which to the future prospects of the undertaking they believe to be very great. The extension is only 34 miles in length, and will be extremely cheap to construct. The engineer has already coueloded the terms of • contract for the works, for an amount within his estimate, and it is expected that the line will be completed and open for public traffic in the early part of next summer. METROPOLITAN RAILWAY. The report of the directors to the half-yearly meeting of the compway on Wednesday, August 6, expresses their regret that the proprietors should again meet before opening of the railway. The report of the engineer, how ever, shows that the railway itself is sow practieally com pleted, and that the °maim of the line for public traffic bas become a question only of weeks. The relations of the company with the Great Western sad Great Northern i Bail way Companies sad also with the corporation of London are nit satisfactory state. The Great Northern Company ban nearly completed their hotel carve at King's-cross. The Great Western Company have made peat with the construction of a station at Bishop's-red, :l dingtoo, for the use of this company. The corporation of London have phased their Markets Bill, and here autho rised their Markets Improvement Committee to purchase the lauds searmary for the station of this sad the Great Western Companies, wed also for the new Meat-market and its approaches is Brainfileki. It has now become aseemary that this company should forth with execute the semen curve st King's-cross, and make the extension line and station works eat Smithfield ; it is almdesirable that the company should be provided with means for widening the line between King's -crow and Victoria-street. The directors propose that the additional capital of 300,0004 authorised by the out of 1861, which they believe will be adequate for all the purposes of the company, be now created ; and they recommend that it be raised by &harem carrying a preform s tial dividend of 5 per cent. to be offered rateably amongst the present proprietor& Resolutions for the purpose will be submitted to the meeting. The raising of the additional capital will also obviate the necessity fur the immediate re sale of the very valuable surplus lands of the eempeny, which the directors are advised will not realize their full `sake until the railway is is complete operation. Ibe directoes have sot yet made say drileite amass ment' with regard to the Finsbury extension capital, but they trust that before long they will be in a position to re port that the amangessmts for carrying out this mart &- Arable potion have bees perfected.

THE MEETINGS IN SIISSEX. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST .. ti 1862. • 1 must agein vended you was dishonourable, unworthy of you in every way, and which completely and for ever destroyed all confidence, and the feelings of deep affection widish I had previously entertained for you. But. for this you might and would still have been the instate of my house and the idol of my heart, Jf the wide world stares you in the face, salt younielf,whose fault I. it! Do not for one moment suppose that I shall make any settlement. This you may be sere I never will. I will allow 10s. • week fur your child, but more than thin I will not premise. I. will come and see you on Thursday, but I most see your book and how you expended the money I gave you before I mud you aor more. Why did you nut send me your book, as I rvg * with your expenditure on one side and your receipts from me on the other! Thu would have been satisfactory and straightforward, but you have nut been so to me lately. Recollect your own conduct in the past, and do nut blame me. Recollect, also, your sly and cunning conduct in getting one of your lawyer friends to write me an annoying and offensive letter. I will, however, do all that is kind to you, and more than you deserve, as iu reality you have long since forfeited every claim on my protection, and • ninon who opens letters and re-seals them as you did, without my know ledg e and consent, commits a crime against all social and moral laws, even if it be not (as I think it is) a felony. I will say no more on the hateful subject. lam ill and much dispirited, and the more I think of your dishonesty the more sick at heart it makes me. Adieu, your still sincere and kind friend, " Asrson." Serjeant Shee then proceeded to state that these wen the facts he =Geld have to lay before the jury; and he said it would appear in the coarse of the case that the defendant was • married man, although separated from his wife, and that he conseque ntly knew perfectly well that he could not many the plain tiff, and hi repeated that there could be very little do ubt that he had carried out • heartless plan of seduction. If he established that fact he was quite sure the jury would know bow to deal with such • man, and that they would not consider the sum of two thowand pounds which the plaintiff demanded as damages at all an exorbitant one for the injury she had sustained. The learned serjeant concluded by stating that the defen dant, upon being applied to by the =honors for theplaintiff, offered to provide for the child, and to place the sum of 1001. in the heads of the plaintiff to enable her to provide for herself until she could obtain &situation but the offer, of course, could not be accepted, and it then became necessary to bring the present action. - - - Mr. C. freer, a solicitor, carrying on business in Heuriettastreet, Covent-garden, proved that the plaintiff was in hie establishment at Wandsworth in the year 1858 ss a governess for a year and a half, and that she conducted herself very well during that penod, and was very accomplished. Mrs. Fanny Moon deposed that she was the principal of the Musical and Collegiate Institution in Newman-street. She had previously managed a similar institution in &rpm street, and the plaintiff Galled upon her at the last men tioned place, and had her name inserted in the list of per sons who wanted places as governesses. Witness go', the offer of one or two situations for her, but she declined to Leapt them, and subsequently, at witness's sug gestion, she went to Paris to perfect herself in French. Upon her return the plaintiff, at witness's suggestion, went to live at her father's house, in St. John's-wood, mid after she had been there a short time she told witness that she was tired of teaching, and she should like to obtain • situation as housekeeper, and witness proposed that ahe should toast scription, and one was accordingly sent to the Times, and appeared at the latter end of May. Mr. Chambers suggested that the advertisement should be read. Serjeaot Shee said he had already stated the nature of the advertisement, and if his learned friend wished the whole of it to be read, he had better put it hiss his evidence. Mr. Chambers said he should certainly not do that, and he submitted that he was entitled to insist upon the ad vertisement being read. Baron Bramwell said that it appeared to him that this was so, and the advertisement was consequently put in. It was in the following terms : " Lady Housekeeper—A young lady is desirous of obtain ing an engagement as housekeeper with a widower, or • single gentleman. She is highly accomplished , of la dylike deportment, and young. Address, Constance, can of the Lady Principal, Collegiate Institution, Newmanatreet." Examination continued—A day or two after this adver figment appeared in the newspaper the defendant called upon her, and she subsequently introduced him to the plaintiff. t--Witness first because acquainted with the plaintiff about eighteen months or two years ago, and all she knew of her was that she wanted a situa tion as governess, and that she had good references. When the plaintiff said that she should like to get a situation as housekeeper and she was tired of teaching, wit ness proposed an advertisement, and suggested that it should be addressed to widowers or single gentlemen, and also that the plaintiff should call herself Constance. She was unable to say why she pitched upon that name in par ticular. Witness had drawn up several similar advertise ments. Only two or three persons answered the plaintiff'. advertisement. They were all middle-aged gentlemen. (A laugh.) She saw the general herself, but she did not see anything about the terms upon which the plaintiff was to enter his service. She heard afterwards that the plaintiff went to Greenwich and Southend with the general very shortly after they were introduced to each other, but she knew nothing personally of the matter. Mrs. Elizabeth Eldon deposed that she lived with her husband at Stoke Newington, and she was acquainted with the plaintiff before her marriage, and the defendant accom panied her to witnees's house, and introduced her u Mrs. Shirley. Upon one occasion hoodoo said that he had no doubt she was surprised to bear that they were married, and she replied that stu was not surprised to hear of the mar riage, but thought it would not have taken place so sud denly. The general rid he was very fond of the plaintiff, and it should be the study of his life to make her happy. Miss Emily Rosewell, a schoolfellow of the plaintiff, de that, in consequence of au invitation she received from her, she went to pay her a visit at General Shirley's residence at Rugby, in December, 1861, and found her living there as Mrs. Shirley and the wife of the general. Witness remained there nearly a month, and during the greater part of that time they appeared to be on very friendly and affectionate terms. Witness remembered that upon one occasion she, by accident, nearly broke a chimney ornament, and the defendant observed that he was very glad she had sot done so as it belonged to his poor dear first wife. (A kugb.) He also said that when he was in the Crimea a few .years before he was very miserable, and wit ness remarked that he ought now to be very 11;ppy with Annie for his wife. On the Sunday before Christmas-day, plaintiff and the general had a quarrel, and at night the plaintiff wrote a letter which witness, at her request, plaoedon the general's dressing-table ' and she saw him go into the room, wed shortly afterwards she New the letter referred to lying crumpled up on the floor. Soon after this had taken place the plaintiff went into the room, and she heard her ask the defendant whether he was going to perform his promise to many her. He appeared to be very angry, and said in a loud tone, " My promise 1 osonot and I will not perform." She also beard him say , that , he might be led by ul b kiodneu, but be would not be • _ _ Th. later referred to by the witness was then put in and read. It was as fellows : "Dear Arthur,—l should have spoken to you this evening, but am you so rudely accused me of being is a bad temper, I will set trouble you by mentioning that which I should have done. I simply ask you to give me money, or allow me to buy some warm clothing. I am, which you know, wearing at the present time a slimmer bonnet and clo ak, setting aside my having no clothes to wear in the house. Would you like one of your sisters to have been deceived and treated as I have been the lest few months? When you are enjoying yourself on Christmas day, think what happiness you have deprived me of. There are two questions which 1 must beg of you to answer before leaving to-morrow. 1. Do you intend to carry out your pro- mise in marrying me' 2. Is it your intention to send me from here for my accouchement If you do I shall at once plans the whole affair in the hands of my solicitor, for I can so longer go on in this uncertain way. I shall be sorry to injure you by an exposure, but I must do so and dieckee all, mikes there is a change very soon. Ido hope. what ever may happen, that you will remember your child, and never deceive any other virtuous girl, as you have me. I am sorry all my efforts are in vain to please you. Good night ; may God forgive you as willingly as I would, if honourable.—Your's sincerely, " Amt." Crom-examieed—The plaintiff bad told her before this letter was written something about her not being mar ried to the defendaut. Witness was present when the plaintiff wrote this letter, and after she bad done so she read it to her. Her owe room adjoined the one is. which the letter was placed, and her door was ajar and she could bear all that took place. It was not a planned affair, that she was aware of. that she should hear all that took place between the general and the plaintiff after he had read the letter. . . Mr. Hugh Wardrop, a gentleman holding an appointment in the Wor•office, was then called to prove that the defend ant was married to his sister in July, 1840, and that they separated about six or seven years ego. He also proved that the defendant was about fifty years old. This wee the case for the plaintiff. Mr. M. Chambers then proceeded to address the jury on behalf of the defeudant. lie said that he appeared on the present 0001100 a for an honourable officer who, undoubtedly in a moment of passion, had done that which was wrong, and who was reedy now, as be had ever been, to make com pensation for that wrong, but who would not submit to be victimised, which was the sole object of the present action ; and be hoped he should be able—and he should certaiely use his best mations to do so—to defeat that object. He wished the jury to understand that be should not attempt to deny that the defendant was guilty of immorality ? but the question was whether the plaintiff was to be permitted to extort 2,0001. from him, which was the sum demanded as damages on the present occasion. In the observa tions he istended to address to them he should do eft he could to spare the feelings of the unhappy m y r za s w ers. coue who was the plaintiff in the bet he should act shriek from stating what he of her ad then person wbo had advised her to Inn liesetiosa and ustleaveared to obtain this large ewe el thoitey fres thi de. feadant.

Sts,—The racing world undoubtedly had things ell it. owe way at Goodwood, for the weather was super excellent, the sport good, and the investments of the ma jority turned out profitable, despite the turns up afforded by two of the great races. So many favourites were scarcely ever known to win in one walk before, and beyond than of the Goodwood Stakes and Chesterneld Cup, not one winner was missed by the &dean, the tint or aecoud " fiddles" winning in every other case except that of Brick for the Levant. How the public purse was " milked" by thellairi of several "pots" iu the G4selwood Stakes ; how The Wizard disgraced human in the Cup; and how the cleverest men of the Day Were unable to quite bring off either of their great coup; on Friday with the Gleuochty colt and Bush, after sickening the public with the Rather High oolt, Dalesman, Canary, he., have been themes of con versation ever since the meeting broke up ; but 1 have only to remark that Daemon muse be looked after in short mess, and people be very careful how they interfere with The Wizard le future, for he is a most fastidious gentleman, and seems deadly opposed to the public interest. Tim Whiffler literally run away with the Cup, as did fluabdil the Stakes • the three meat short races, however, being well contested. I may take the liberty of referring to the gene ral success of my efforts to put your readers in the right vein during the four dam, as Taje in the Levant Stakes, Watchtire in the Goodwood Stakes, Armagnac in the Mole comb, and Bosh in the Chesterfield, very nearly pulled their beckon clean through; and forsuch *pair as Boabdiland Plau sible to overthrow me is no disgrace, when even their owners and trainers were unaware of the " good thine" they . bad. Bet there is something to plume myself upon in having selected the first three (and one an extreme outsider) for • sonnible like the Stewards Cup out of an entry of 77; and the Miss Sarah filly in the Gratwicke Stakes, Cschouca in the Ham ; Watchfire in the Drawing Room ; Alvealatoe, in the Derby ;Camerioo is the Tenth Memorial ; Imperatrice. in the 50 son. Sweepstakes; Bertha in the Nassau, with Brick is the Nursery, all assist in making me tip • heavy list of victories. To enter into the details of the sport would occupy too much of your space, and the proceeding is hardly as not the faintest li ght was thrown on the St. Leger, w ile the only promising Derby bones that performed during the week comprised AUiOllll. tea, Praia/is Stampede, and Atecan, neither of these having been tit enough to be fairly judged. The Brighton sad Lewes Meetings have now been arianged so as to facili tate the settling of the heavy Goodwood accounts, and as they race at Newmarket up to Saturday after noon during the Houghton week, there is nothing to com plain of is the Susan tour extending over Satur day next, the DOW arrangement being pretty certain to benefit the Lewes meeting, as Mr. Verrall'a excellent pro gramme scarcely had fair play before. At Brightest we are promised seven contests on Tuesday, the same number on Nt adoesday, and nine on the Clubday ; but not one half of them are as yet complete, and the ten already before me will not take much analysing. The Brighton Handicap, cue mile and three-quarters, may be reduced to an issue between Sir William, 5 yet, Sit 21b, Watchfire, 3 yea tie 1211 s, Shepherds', and Myrtle, 4 yrs, 7st 51b each ; and there is no question about the two four year-olds laving • long pull of the weights, if they are fit for anything. Myrtle ran respectably in the Chesterfield Cup, and Shepherdess over a mile and a hull did sufficient to ensure her winning this, it being on the card for one of the lair to win if sent to the post, although Sir William and Watchfire mar carry all the money. The Nursery Handicap, thre e - quarters of a mile, has Rubiui sod Vaulter " well in ; but there is also a question with their parties what tactics shall be pursued—waiting or otherwise—and it being just possible this will not prove good enough for either of the horses named, Mr. Ontwicke's pretty filly by Newminster, out of Squaw, that is turned loose at list 71b. may prove a more reliable ally. The Teeth Biennial, for 3-year-olds, one mile, will not quite suit Bertha, who is not partial to the hill, especially with a 91b penalty, this latter Malachi being not unlikely to cause Wingrave's overthrow, as Michel Grove only series the original Fat 71h, and Spencer, in the Chesterfield Cup, made him appear a pretty good hone. The Marine Plate, three-quarters of • mile, is on a heavy scale, and Heckle), 5 yn, 7st 91b, ia turned loose under the circumstances, his chance being one of the best in the rase, unless Mr, Payne can find a better representative. The Champagne Stakes, for 3-yeer-olds, one mile, Lord Stamford should win with Blackoock or Duke Rollo, for the former has 4lb the best of the weights with both Atherstone and the Knave, and meths Orunerino nor Fairwater looked likely to appear again for some time after their races at Goodwood. The Cup, two miles, will not tempt many op poeenta to Tim Whiffler, despite his 7lb penalty, the Roe and Paste being about the beet of the others likely to be found at the post. The Eleventh Biennial, for 2-year olds, three-quarters of a mile, 1 'sign to Merry Hart; and the 2.year-old Club Biennial, oar the same course, looks made for Armagnac, if it is safe to follow Automa tou's second performance at Goodwood, as the Freochmaa gave him slb and a beating, and Lord Stamford's horse scarcely troubled Cachous, with 31b the wont of the weights, so that the latter cannot endanger Armagnac's r The Lewin bill of fare is not bait complete yet, and Tan deal with but three items in it, the chief of these being the Priory Stakes for 2-yr-olds, about five furlongs, wherein Blue Mantle and Amazonian are the test of the public horses, and Promises, the most talked about of the dark lot, the Ascot hero being the beet to stand on, considering how he likes the bill. Montebello will he very handy for the second Courtenay Biennial, and in the County Cop Alvedistou reset do his best to compete with Lord Burleigh, who is in receipt of 7 lb.—l am, &e., METEOR.

Elizabeth Sarah Haaniaat, 31, widow, was indicted for the wilful murder of her child, two years old, named Thomas Edward Hunoisett.. It appeared that the pnamier had lived in the Tillhunt onion, and that she left on the sth of May, taking with her the child in question and a younger one, only three months old. She was seen to be wandering about in different places, and on the following day she was observed to be sitting close to a pond veer Mayfield, with both her children, and apparently in a very low and melancholy state. Very soon afterwards the body of the deceased child was found in this pond ; and on the prisoner being followed and taken into custody she denied that the deed child was hen, and said that she had sent the child to be • taken care of by a person whom she named, but which statement was, of course, entirely false. The prisoner, when before the magistrate, told another story, and said that while she was engaged in washing the clothes of the younger child in the pond the deceased rolled in by ac cident, and she said that when ale was first queotiosed oho was afraid to tell the truth. _ _ • ._ The learned Judge summed up very favourably gm the prisoner, end observed that there weft uothing in the ewe to show that her story as to how the child met with its death was not the truth. _ _ The jury, in about twenty minutes, found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended her to mercy. Mr. Baron Martin, addressing the wretched woman, who appeared to suffer the deepest anguish, and who was sup ported by one of the turnkeys, said that the jury, who ware the proper judges of the facts, had found her guilty, and he bad nothing mom to do but to pass upon her the sentence of the law ; but be said, at the mme time, be would take are that the recommendation to mercy was forwarded to the proper quarter. He then passed sentence of death in the usual form, and the prisoner was carried outof the dock shrieking and protesting her innocence. CIVIL SIDE.--{Before Baron Bramwell and • Common Jury.) THOMAS V. SHIRLEY. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff was a young lady named Anne Thomas, and the defendant is General Shirley. He pleaded in answer to the action that he did not promise to marry the plaintiff as alleged in the declaration, and upon this plea issue was joined. The damages were l aid at 2,0001. Serjeant She', Serjeant Bahrain*. and Mr. F. H. Lewis. were counsel for she plaintiff ; Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., appeared for the defendant. Serjeant Shed, inhiVaddreas to the jury, said he wax very m to, on the part both of the plaintiff and the defendant that it bad been necessary to bring this action, and to en. deavoar by that means to recover !torn the defendant, who wee undoubtedly a man of high positioa,and a general in her Majesty's army, damages for the very serious and cruel injury that be had inflicted upon the plaintiff in the cause. She was • young lady ooly twenty-three years of age, and lost both her panels when she was only two years old, and at that tender age was left an . She was adopted by her aunt, a lady named Gibbs, :v r ep la r:sided at Bicenter, and she remained with the family for several year*, and Mr. Gibbs, her uncle, at his death, provided for her an annuity of 301. • year until she should be 21 years old, and upon attaining that age a sum of 3001. absolutely. Her aunt married again, and there being a second family the plaintiff felt herself uncomfortable, end left Mrs. Gibte's house, with the intention of obtaining her livelihood as a governess, for which position she was well fitted by her education and accomplishment., She was not at this time more than seventeen or eighteen years old, but she obtained two situations, one with • gentleman named Atkinson, at Wallingford, and another in the family of a gentleman named Trew, at Wandsworth, and her conduct while in the establishment of both these gentlemen was most irreproachable. The plain tiff, upon leaving M.r.Trew's family, in the year 1861, be , came acquainted with a lady named Moog, who kept an establishment or institution called the Musical and Colle giate Agency, in Newman-street, Oxford-street. the object of which was to obtain situations for governesses, and she requested this lady to endeavour to procure • situation far her in that capacity. It appeared that at the moment she was unable to do so, and by her advice the plaintiff went to Paris fee a few months, for the purpose of perfecting herself in French, and she then returned to London. In a short time the plaintiff, by the reeom. mendation of Ms. Won, remained in the house of Mrs. Moon's father, io Aberdeen-ter ace, St. John's wood, where she was engaged in educating his children in return for her board and lodging, and she then again applied to Mrs. Moon to procure a situation fer her, and she ex pressed a desire rather to have a situation as lady house keeper than that of governess, and at the suggestion of Mts. Moon an advertisement was inserted in the Times for a situation of that description, and this led to an introduction to the defendant, who, he was sorry to say, was a man of position, of good family, and a general in her Majesty's service, but who, he believed he should be able to prove, was as deliberate, unprincipled, and heartless • seducer as had ever been exposed in a court of justice. Mrs. Moon herself, who was a most respectable ladr, allowed reference to be made to her at the institution in Newman-street, and two or three days after the advertisement appeared, which was io the month of May last year, the defendant introduced himself to Mrs. Moon as • widower, and he represented that he required the service. Of • lady such as was referred to in the advertisement, to superintend his household in the country. Mrs. Moon told the defendant where he could see the plaintiff, and he accordingly went to her father's house and was introduced to her, and there was no doubt that he immediately formed the plan of seducing her. He stated that he was a man of fortune and of high rank in the army, a widower ; that he had a country house, called Brookside Lodge, near Rugby ; that he was in the habit of seeing • great deal of company, and that it was very important that his household affairs should be superintended by an accom plished lady, whom he could introduce to his friends. He also mid that although at first it might appear to be rather an equivocal position for a lady to be plead in, still in point of fact it was not so, as there were a great many servants who were always about, arid he was constantly watched by his friable relations. The plaintiff decli ne d the offer made to her by the defendant to enter his service in the capacity suggested, and the defendant pressed her to con sent, but she still refused to do so. Recalled upon her one day, and, knotting that she was • proficient in music, be requested her to accompany him to Messrs. Kirkman's to choose a piano, and on their return ba agrin pressed her to accept the proposition be had made tabor, but finding that she would not, he declared his attachment to her and offered her his hand and fortune, and add that he would make her hie wife. To • poor young friendlier girl such en offer from a man in the defendant's position, who was not more than fifty years old, and who, he was told, was a head. some man, was of coulee accepted ; end in the confidence that the defendant was actuated be honourable intentions, aad his positive promise that in • short time he would make her his wife, she consented to meet the defendant, and a 0011110A011 of an intimate nature no doubt arose between them ; and the defendant, in the result, succeeded in effecting his object of seducing and destroying the unhappy girl who had plaoed confidence in his honour. In nine cases out of ten it was impossible to prove an actual promise of marriage ; but when the jury bad heard all the evidence he should lay before theta, soil the communications that had taken place between the partite, it would be for them to say whether it was not abundantly established that such a pretense had been made by the defendant, and that he had succeeded in seducing the plain tiff by melon of that promise. (The learned sergeant bare read some letters that bad been written by the de fendant to the plaintiff, in which be addressed her as "Dearest Little Annie," and in the most affectionate terms. Noce of them, however, contained any allusion to marriage; but the defendant spoke of the pleasure he had experienced in clasping her to his bosom, and expressed a hope that he should do so again.) He said that there was no doubt that the plaintiff felt the greatest confidence in the man who is tended to betray her, and she met him repeatedly, and upon one occasion, at his earliest request, she accompanied him to Southend, where they dined, and, upon his representation that the but train had started, and having at the same time also full confidence in his honourable intentions, she consented to pass the night with the defendant. After this occurrence it was of coarse impossible for the plaintiff to go among her own connexions, and upon the positive assurance of the defendant that he would make her his wife she coo seated to go to reside at Brookside Lodge, where she was installed as mistress of all the servants, and had the charge of the entire establishment. While she was at this plate ' the plaintiff discovered that she was in the family way, and having become alarmed at her helpless position, and at the same time, from oircunistanees that had occurred, feeling some doubt of the intentions of the defendant, she wrote him a letter, which should be produced, and which was placed on his dressing-table by • yoaog lady, a schoolfellow of the plaintiff, who was at the time on a visit to her, and ia • conversation that subsequently took place the defen dant positively refused to fulfil his pranks, and the plaintiff was shortly afterwards compelled to leave Brookside Lodge, and was delivered of a child in Lander*. Hare the defend. ant still continued to visit her, tied be pestered a peat deal of affection for the child, sad wished that it eigh t be christened by the name of Itol6llllll, but at leadth appeared resolved to break riff the crantodert merely, and on the 27th of May of the present year be wrote her the fdlowin letter : "Tueeday Evening. "My dear Amor —Recollect (if yes please) that my premier to you of twelve months shim hen all hese out sheet and serhilated by your ova weirsi—soaduill "like defendant ever to have adopted such • step, and that it was an illustmtion of the old story of the monkey sad the tetrad the hot cbeenuts. lle wished it to be clearly understood that in these observations he did not intend to refer to the respectable gentlemen who acted as the Oehler' solicitors (Mews. Lewis and Lewis), but to other feriae more imme diately connected with her, bet who did not oars at all for her feelings or for the defendant's, or what exposure took place, so long as they effected their object of obtaining money. The !aimed counsel then proceeded to refer to the facts of the case, cud submitted that, even upon the evidence 113 it stood, it WWI ridiculous tosuppose that General Shirley had ever made a promise of marriage to the plaintiff. The fact was that the whole proceeding was one that might be , chased among the tricks of London, of which the jury no doubt bad frequently heard. W hat could possibly have been intended by such an advertisement as the one they bad heard of in this cue, arid which had led to the plaintiff and the defendant being introduced to tech other? Had any one ever heard of a respectable young woman or any young woman who had respectable connexions causing such an ad vertisement to be published —an advertisement describing herself as young sad accomplished, and requiring an engage ment with, of all otherpersons in the world, single gentlemen or widowers? Why, the object was perfectly plain. She could not have expected that any person with honourable intentions, or who really wanted the services of a respectable young woman to superintend his household affairs, wankl have answered such an advertisement. Then, .again, there wee the name of the party to whom application was to be made—" Coo ! stance." Did any one ever hear of • housekeeper of such • name? Why, it was perfectly ridiculous. There oould be no doubt u to the real object and intention of insert , ing such an advertisement, and it had that effect. The defendant answered the advertisement, and he was not going to attempt to justify his oondn.t on the awe of morality ' • but the question now before them was whether be had made a promise of marriage to the plaintiff, and whether he ought to pay her • large amount of money as damages for breaking that promise. What were the facts of the case? Why, within • very few days of the first interview that took place between the parties, the plaintiff accompanied the defendant to Greenwich, and then to Southend, where she remained with him all night. As to the lettere that had been put in, they showed clearly the nature of the in timacy that existed between the plaintiff and the defendant almost immediately after they became acquainted, and they were no doubt couched in terms of great affection. The defendant did entertain great affection for this young lady ; and but for her own 000 duct, to which he alluded in one of the letters that had been rend to them, he would have con tinued to protect her, and he was still desirous of making provision for his child, and also for the plain tiff herself, but be would not submit to an attempt like the present. He then went on to cam. meat upon the other facts of the case, and said that it was ridiculous to imagine that the defendant could ever have made a promise of marriage to the plaintiff, or that she could have been deoeived by such a promise sue if it bad been made ; because the condition of a man in the position of Cameral Shirley, and the fact that he was mew rated from his wife, must have been known to all the world. The learned counsel concluded • powerful address by re peatiog that he did not desire at all to defend General Shirley from the charge li of immoral conduct, but he did donee to convince the jury that be was not the hese and de liberate seducer that he hail been repreeonted to be by his learned triend,sad that the plaintiff had no tight to recover in the present action. Baron Bramwell, in summing up the cue to the jury, said they bed nothing to do with punishing the defendant for an immorality of which he might have been guilty, or with giving compensation to the plaintiff, or providing for the child ; and the only questions for them to consider were, whether the defendant had promised to marry the plaintiff, whether he had broken that promise, and if so what amount of damages she was entitled to by ratio° of his so doing? He then called their attention to the facts that bad bees disclosed, and said that the advertisement which had led to ' the parties being introduced to each other wu certainly • very singular one, and that there appeared to be no doubt that within a very few days after the parties were first in. troduced to each other they went out together, and the nature of the C0131)67j011 between them was perfectly clear. It was for the jury, therefore, to say, looking at all the facts of the ease, whether it was probable that the Weed. ant ever made a promise of marriage, or whether • young woman not only twenty-one years of age, but even one of fifteen, could have been deceived as to the real character of the soonexion which the defendant was desirous to form with her. The jury, after consulting a short time in the box, ex pressed a wish to retire. They returned into court in about tweet; minutes, sod pee • verdict for the defendant. THOMAS V. BHllll.ll'. This was another action brought by the same plaintiff :st the defendant to recover upon a contract he wan alleged to bare entered into, and which was contained in the letter produced in the former trial, for the support of the child of the plaintiff. It was arranged, however, that the case should be referred, and no evidence was consequently gone into. THE LATE CHARGE AGAINST A STOCKBROKER. TO THE EDITOR or THE UNIT!!. SIR,—In your able report of the proceedings at Guildhall against me, you have fallen into an error, which I feel sure you will allow me to correct. You report Captain Grant in his cross-examination as saying, "I knew that Mr. Antrobus was suing him fora large sum, but I did not know it was for 3,000/.” The reverse is the tact. lam suing Mr. Antrobus for about that amount, and such I understood Captain Grant to state.

The principal business in yarns has been for Compaq and India. Continental merchants generally areshowing mon disposition to do business, and are very persevering in their inquiries after cheap lora.
