JULY 30, 1853. BY THE NEW HACKNEY CARRIAGES DUTIES BILL the licences anti other taxes on all carriages plying for hire, now amounting to 5/ per annum and 10s. per week, are to be reduced to 11. and 7s. re spectively. THE NEW VACCINATION BILL, as amended, was issued un Wednesday. From the Ist of August next children are to be vaccinated within three mouths of the birth, or their parents become liable to penalties. A MIDLAND CRYSTAL PALACE has been projected by Mr. Beale, deputy-chairman of the Midland Rail way Company, in Sutton Coldtield-park, near Bir mingham. He proposes to erect a public edifice after the plans of, and fur similar purposes to, those of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham. A very numerous and influential meeting of magistrates, merchants, and manufacturers of the borough was held on Tuesday, when the proposal was fully discussed and unani mously approved. Sutton-park, by road, is about seven miles from Birmingham. It was understood that, if the project was adopted by the corporations of the two towns, the Midland Railway Company would constructs branch line from their sta ion at Broom ford-forge, and thus provide, at nominal rates, an easy and ready access from Birmingham to Sutton. A rate of a halfpenny in the pound would pay the out lay, and redeem the building in twenty years; but the general opinion was, that the receipts would be more than sufficient to pay the outlay and management within that period, to say nothing of the moral effect it would in the meantime produce upon the neigh bouring population.

The subject for this year's thionwoon (lir is taken from the history of our first wars with F►ance, and repro• gents th:• incident in which originated the escutelleou and motto of the Prince of Wales. At the battle of Cressy the old King of Bohemia, who was blind, upon heating that the Freneh had lost the day ordered his home to be tied to the horses of two French knights, and then threw him self into the midst of the English army, wl t •ie ho was killed. It is said that the Meek Wince took the feathers out of the helmet of the king, anti that the Prince of Wales's escutcheon then first contained the thr ee feathers and the motto, " leh I►ien." The group consists of three figures, that of the King of Bohemia anti the two knights. The aged and blind king is in the venire, mounted, wearing in his helmet the plume now known as the Prince of Wales's feathers. The two knights an• preparing to mount their horses to fulfil his re•eluest. The group is designed and modelled by Baron Mans•hetti, manuftiettired in saver by Mr. Ilimeock, of itnitowstreot. Yan3 anb Timm TimesAso Pouttos were awarded RS da. mattes for breach of a promise of marriage to Miss Tweddle, after an action tried on Matuttday last at. York. The young lady was the daughter of a re spectable farmer in Cumberland, and the defendant was Mr. John Ranishay, steward to the Karl of Car. lisle, under whom he also holds a fans of 1,400 acres, and was stated to possess an income of I,OINIL or ;SAM per annum. A union between the parties was arranged as long since as after a prolonged acquaintance, and the intention to carry it into effect frequently announced by the defendant during many subsequent months to their mutual friends. Its fulfilment. was, however, postponed under various pretexts, and at. length Mr. Hamsbay, after growing gradually colder, discontinued his visits altogether. Being called upon for an explanation, he wrote a letter, " pleading previous occurrences which hung over his head" as the cause that compelled him to abandon his intention with regard to the plaintiff. These "occurrences" were understood to refer to a 'manila, given to another lady before be. coming attached to Miss Tweddle. In the end the defendant kept word with neither, having since pro mised and really married a third lady. Dantagea were laid at 5,0001., of which, after a brief consulta tion, the jury gave the plaintiff 3,000/. ANOTHER BREACH Or 1)14011114E CASK was tried on the same day at the same assizes. The parties in this action were in rather humbler circumstances, the plaintiff being a milliner, residing with her father, who was an ironfounder at Bradford, and the de fendant. an elderly man, retired from business, in which he was reported to have realised a good deal of money. There had been a long acquaintance between the defendant, whose name was Toad, and the plaintiff's family, among whom he visited on terms of much intimacy. This led finally to an un derstood arrangement that he was to marry the plaintiff, but, after robbing her of her virtue, the defendant declared oft', and by his counsel at the trial ridiculed the idea of having given any promise of the sort, as being founded on words merely spoken in jest. The jury considered the jest a sufficiently serious one to warrant their assessing it, in the damages they awarded to the plaintiff, at a value of 4001. THE CASK AND ESTATIC or BICHARO DUNN, bar rister, so well known some years since as the perse cutor of Miss Burdett Coutts, occupied the attention of Commissioner Law, at the Insolvent Court, during nearly the whole of Saturday and Wednesday last, the inquiry standing again adjourned until this day. The !whelps' item in the insolvents schedule con sisted in a sum of 100,0110/., which, with large arrears of interest, he claimed from Miss Coutts. In sup port of this claim he produced on Saturday a hill of exchange, drawn for that amount by himself, on the bank in the Strand; and as his warrant for so doing showed a letter containing some doggrel verses. These rhymes, though evidently designed as a hoax, Mr. Dunn had repeatedly adduced as authentic evi dence in different examinations before courts of civil and criminal jurkiliction ; and, notwithstanding many decisions to th contrary, still seemed to rely upon them as un:'..)tibteclly autographical, and as eased-
