The Holy Alliance, we understand, is now piously engaged in concerting measures for the purpose of maintaining the authority of the Beloved FERDINAND in South Americo. Each of the maritime Powers, parties in this Confederacy, will, according 'to re port, contribute its quota of ships to the formation of a formidable fleet for this purpose. England, in ad dition to its Foreign Enlistment Prevention Bill, will of course furnish a full share. Commodore Sir Tito- MAS HARDY had on Friday a very long conference with the Board of Admiralty, relative to his corn- Mend in South America. The gallant Captain will leave town in a few days, to hoist his broad pendant on boars! the SUPERB, of 74 guns, at Portsmouth. Our Readers are apprised that the VENGEUR, of 74 guns, will be also under his command. These two ships are now at that por t s waiting for men ; the lat ter wants upwards of one hundred to increase her complement to 540. She has been completed (ac ,' cording to her only present orders) for foreign ser vice. - The HYPERION, Captain T. SEARLE, C. B. ar , rived at Portsmouth from the Leith station last week. She is also fitting for foreign service, and, it is sup ' posed, to accompany Commodore Sir THOMAS HARDY. —lt has been generally presumed that these ships are intended to go out only as a squadron of demonstration, or of observation, in consequence of Lord COCHRANE having, by Proclamation, de— clared all the ports on the coast of Peru and Chili in a state of blockade. It is probable, however, that they are only our quota to the general naval force destined to act in that quarter. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BRIGHTON, JULY 31. The second day of the Races was zs productive of good sport as that whi c h opene d t h e revival of th e diverilam..

The Hunters' Stakes of . 1 63. each (Six Subscribers), with Zigs. added from the Racing Fund, was won, after three heats, by Mr. Hudson's hay gelding honest Tom, beating four others. A Match for 50gs. between Mr. King's bay gelding, .5-yrs-old, and Mr. Ball's bay gelding Lustre, afforded muck sport, as it occasioned two heats.—lt was woi by the former. A number of Sporting Gentkmen came here to-day, not on account of the races, but for a singular determination of regu lating their engagements on the St. Leger's Stakes, at Doncaster. It appears that Doncaster Races were appointed to take place on the 27th of September next, and, by some agreement, they were yesterday fixed for the 20th; thus bringing them forward a week. Th,se Gentlemen who have laid immense sums on the issue of the St Leger's, contend tlu.t their bets are off; whilst others, who make sure of winning, oppose the prir.ciple of an alteration in time dissolving all previous contracts. This business will cause a great bustle among the sporting circles. WINCHESTER RACES, JULY 27. Ilis MAjesty's Plate of tut/v.—Four-mile heats.

He granted the motion to set aside the attachment issued against the Defendants, Zvithout costs ; and without prejudice to any other question in the cause, or to any further application that either parties might be advised to make to the Cotirt.—Motion grant.,d without Costs. THE REV. DR. RRISTOW V. THE PARISHIONERS OF ST. THOMAS APOSTLE. • ~- The LARD CHANCELLOR gave his judgment in this case. The 'original question before his Lordship was founded on a motion by the Rev. Plaintiff, Vicar of the Parish, praying the Court to authorise him to examine certain Deeds which were in the custody of the Defendants. This motion was made on the ground of the Plaintiff claiming his right, as Vicar of the Parish, to enjoy the proceeds of a Charitable Estate, founded in the reign of Edward the Third, by a Mr. Champness, citizen and mercer, in Lon don, who devoted a portion of it to be paid , to the Priest of St. Thomas, for saying so many masses for the soul of the deceased Founder of the Charity. After being regularly paid by the trustees to the time of the Refornaition, by Henry VIII. the funds devoted to superstitious purposes were appropriated to the Crown; but there was a reservation in this case in behalf of this parish. The great fire in 1666 de stroyed the tenements on the estate, among others; and it was difficult to say on what precise ground they-, prior to :hat time, were situated. Tl:e pari shioners claini e a right to act as trustees of the estate; 'contending that the intention of "the founder was to make them so applicable, but the Vicar claimed them as being his, in consequence of *intention ex pressed by the founder. Alithat was therefore asked in the present stageof the business Was, to allow him in inspection of the deeds and muniments of the cha rity, for the purpose of being enabled thence to ascer tain on what each party founded their claims. Ile had minutely read over the bill and answers, and, in considering them, he was of opinion that the produc tion of theni was necessary to decide this question. He therefore gave his judgment accordingly. • IC&CIAANCE4OR'S COURT, JULY 31. • /11XON V. BURN. ..... The plaintiff is brother and sole heir to the deceased Mr; Nixon, of the firm of Nixon and Burn, grocers, in Holborn ; and a motion was made in his behalf, for restraining the surviving partner from disposing of the co-partnership propeity, and for having an ac count taken of the•same, under the directions of the Court. It was stated that the defend.mt had refused the plaintiff access to the books of,:he concern. He believed {pis brother to have died worth upwards of 1 210,000 ; and sin:e his death above 4240;) had been drawn out of the Bank of England The Vics-CHANCkt.I.oR ordered the injunction to be granted in the usual terms. YORKSHIRE ASSIZES, JULY 250. PREXCH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. DAWSON V. NEWTON. Mr. WILLIAM 4 opened the pleadings. The da mages were laid at £3OOO. Mr. RAW stated the case to the Jury. This was purely an action to recover a compensation in di ' mages for a breach of the most eiPlicit promises and the most solemn engagement on the part of the de fendant to marry the plaintiff. Tie plaintiff was a young woman of 24 years of age one of The dangly ters of William Dawson, forme:lk afarmer at Moor lands, near Hudderfield, where he occupied a farm as tenant to Mr. William Newton, defendant's father, a land-surveyor at Stagwood-hiil, hut now only a la bourer. The defendant, about 28 years of age, was the only son of Mr. Newton, possessed in his own right an estate of 200:: 3 year, and was heir to his father's property, eitithated at %WOOL The parties living only about a mile from each other, early tic ' quaintance was formed between them ; acquaintance grew into attachment ; and attachment ripened into love. Their courtship commenced at least seven years ago. From 1815 to November 1817, their mu tual love was known to Martha Dawson, one of the witnesits. At the latter period the defendant dis continued his visits, rend on the 7th April, 1818, he married another Terms lady, yet five years ago the defendant had assured the plaintiff's mother, then on her death-bed, that he would• marry her daughter. Her attachment to the undeserving defendant induced her to refuse many advantageops offers, and the.loss he was hound to repair as far as damages can do it. Her health indeed, had been seriously affected by the cruel disappointment. The defendant was said to rest his defence on the disparity of their situation, but this could never justity the violation of a deli berate and solemn promise while their relative situa tions were well known. This action had been so lung delayed, owing to the misconduct of Mr. Jusepfi Blackburn, attorney at Huddersfield, who, in 1817, commenced the action, and got 251. from the defen dant, under pretence of trying the cause at thelast assizes. But he soon afterwards absconded from Hud dersfield,. and was since unheard of. Mrs. Martha Dawson, wife . of William Dawson, clathier, .near Huddersfield; and the plaintiff's bro ther, stated the plaintiff to be SO,' and the defendant 1 .08 years of age, The defendant had appeared fond . pf the plaintiff from their infancy, and had courted ' hey at least seven years. About two years ago she was at plaintiff's housson a Sunday afternoon, when defendant said to the witness that he had given the plaintiff a ring, at the same time asking the plaintiff to fetch it. The plaintiff having refused, he fetched it himself, and put it oh the plaintiff% finger, and said, " This is the fisst marriage ring ever 1 bought; we will go to Sheffield' and be married ; Mr. Words worth shall marry us; this is the ring and the gown you shall be married in ;I will never marry any other woman, my dear." She remembered that in the spring of 1817, the defendani, having the plaintiff on his knee, was seen by Sarah Nfoorhouse, a neigh hour's daughter, who imrriediately went out again f! om the house. Defendant then said that Sarah • Moor house had come to see' and hear, but he did not mind, he was determined to have Ssther Danrson.— When witness expressed suspicions of his not per forming his promises, he said if lie would not, the ring would hang him, and added, addressing him self to Esther,.
