DIX AbrUL ARES. • About on* o'clock this morning the vicinity of King street, St. Girtirge's, was thtown Into great confusion by the lower part of the premises of Mr. Donaldson's lead worts appearing in flames. The alarm was promptly spread throughout the vicinity, and a family occupying tht second floor over the works were aroused to a sense of their danger, but the fire rapidly spread in such a manner, that to get down stairs was impossible, and the family, consisting of a was, his wife, and two children, had barely time to escape by 'the window ledge to an adjoining house. During the short inter val of their effecting this object, the flames commu nicated to every part of the building, and back to the .rear with tremendous fury, and being ac companied by dense clouds of smoke had a power fully appalling effect. The strong party walls which separated the premises of Mr. D..naldson's from the adjoining houses, had the effect of preventing their being included in the burning ruin, and the flames being confined in one compact space, appeared to bid defiance to all efforts to check their progress. The utmost danger was experi need to the persons occupied in working the water hose of the engines, from the streams of lead which rolled rapidly out of the premises. The flames were partially checked by the falling of the roofs and walls about two o'clock, and altogether subdued in two hours after, and nothing now remains of an extensive factory, but a heap of mouldering rubbi,h. An ales ming fire broke out about half past twelve o'clock on Thursday night, in the shop of Mr. ESTILL, hair-dresser, &c. Haggersgate, Whitby. Mr. U. only occupying the shop, and the other past of the premises being empty, the fire had got to a great height before it was discovered ; but as soon as the afar m was given, the firemen and engines were quickly on the spot, and by too o'clock the fire was got completely under, but not before having destroyed the house in which it originated. Wednesday night, Mrs. Knight, of New•street, Mar ' gate, put her child to beJ, a little boy about three years of age, and left a candle in the room, by which the cur tains f the bed were set on fire, and instantly the whole room was in a blase, entirely consuming the ler. nirtne, bed, Sec. and the poor child was so dreadfully burnt, that it expired about two the next morning.

COURT OP ICI 3 MBENCH , ibi* 6 CHARS'S Ol irrirsrstiAcv, %.* this wis an indictment against the defeitalubla, 'namely, John Rear:den, an Officer in the Army ; John Clark, a coal merchant; Robert Wilson, Gentleman; Thomas eooke, E.q. an Attorney, and Wm. Small wood, formerly An auctioneer, for conspiring together, l and With suing out a false and fraudulent commission of bankruptcy against John Ramsden and John Clear— There was also a second count, charging them with issuing out the said Commission. The Arrontrat Gunanut., in stating the case to the Jury, said, that understanding the defendants Were anxious to avail them.elves of the evidence of Mr. Smallwood, and intimating that he could not bring the conspiracy home to the defendant (Smallwood), he would consent to his acquittal, that he might becomes witness. With respect to Ramsden, he was a prisoner confined for debts to the amount of 5,0001. and nume rous detainers were lodged against him I , r that sum. The indictment bet forth, that in order to rid himself of these debts, he conspired with the other defendants, to make himself a bankrupt. The defendant Clark, kept a coal-shed in Webber street, and took R4msden into partnership, for the express purpose of enabling him to become a bankrupt. Mr. Cooke acted as Solicitor to the said Commission, and was charged with being a party to the tranaction, as was Wilson, who acted with' Smallwood, the assignees under this Commission. The debt, upon which the Commission was sued out, was suspected to be fictitiops, as well as the trading firm of Ramsden and Clark, as coal merchants. The Learned Attorney Genet al, having c included his address, called a number of witnesses in support of the charge. The several witnesses underwent a rigid cross-examination, as to the validity of their testimony. • The Cosmos' SzaoiANT addressed the Jury in a powerful speech, on behalf of Mr. Cooke, and par. ticularly dwelt on the high character he had received from Mr. Justice Holroyd, who had known him (Mt. Cooke) for fifty years, and always considered hint a G. ntlernan of the greatest reputation. Other witnesses also spoke highly in his favour. Mr. F. PoLt.occ spoke on behalf of Mr. Rsmsden; he maintained there was no frsud made out. . , The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Rams den and Clark, for the conspiracy, and acquitted Cook e and Wilson. COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, Joao S. ( Before the Loan Cots► James.] BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. HUTCHINS C. ITULTZ. The plaintiff in this case is * young Lady of respect able connections, named Hutchins, and the defendant a tailor in Clifford-street, Mr. Thomas Stoltz. Mr. PLATT said, the present was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defebilant, to recover acorn , pensation for a breach of promise of marriage. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS stated the case. 'lle plaintiff whom he represented on the present occasion was a young Lady, 2S years of age, possessing a small inde pendent fortune, who sought to•recover a compensation from the defendant in consequence of his refusing to perform a promise of marriage . The Learned Sergeant j said he would not occupy the Court unnecessarily by making general observations upon persons who con• ducted themseltes in the way in whit?: the defendant had done ;- bet be would proceed, as briefly as possible, to state the manner in - which the defendant bad coo %Meted binseelf towisie•the Lady who new sought,' at the hands of a Jaryt s Veparation foe the cold-hearted brutality of which the had been the victim ; and after laying the facts before the Jury, he thought they would be of opinion that no damages could be a sufficient com pensation for the treatment the Lady had received at the hands of the defendant. The defendant was,an individual as celebrated in the world of fashion as Mr. Tattersall was in the sp o rting world. He was a tailor, residing in Clifford-street, who carried on the most extensive and profitable business of the kind in the metropolis. He lived in splendour, and kept his town and country house. He was by birth a German, and in the year 182$, being a widower, and upon visiting terms with the brothers of the plaintiff, an introduction took place, when be became enamoured of the young Lady. He informed the young Lady's mother of his attachment, and solicited her leave to pay his addresses to her daughter. She gave • her' consent, and be became a constant visitor of the Plaintiff. They corresponded•by letter *hen absent from leach other, on which occasion their language %hewed I that they entertained much affection for each other ; and, as was common with lovers, they exchanged portraits. Towards the latter end of the year 1823, the defendant went to Germany to visit his parents, and during his absence he wrote' several letters to the plaintiff, in which he expressed his continued regard. One of the letters concluded by stating, " though I shall suffer great pain at parting from my mother and sisters, I will never part from you." About this period the plaintiff, who had prepared dresses necessary for the occasion of her anticipated marriage with the defendant, became af flicted with a dreadful malady, the small-pox, and she was confined to her bed for some time. Before she had recovered from the effects of the ravages of this destroyer of beauty, the defendant paid her a visit, and pressed to be allowed to see her. An inter view was permitted, and probably from her appearance he concluded that it would be impossiblt she ever would recover her former charms—though, if he had waited a little, he would have found the contrary—and he treated her with the most insulting cruelty. After the de fendant had deserted her, without giving any reason whatever for declining to fulfil that solemn engage ment which he had entered into when he promised to make her his wife, she wrote to him, and called epon him to fulfil his engagement, or to return her letters, and lie wrote in reply the following: _ " January 4, 1528. " Dear Love,—l received your long letter, sad am sorry to Ind you of so hot a disposition. The time is not yet arrived when it will be convenient for me to make you and myself happy ; and as I still hope the opportunity will arrive, I wish to keep the letters for the love of her who sent them. What yon say in reference to the young Lady is not true. and if )ou wish to go to the ball, I will obtain tickets for you, and you will sec the young Lady. &c. " Yours, itc. " T. STULTZ." After receiving the above letter, she waited fro time to time, believing that at last the defendant might be inclined to make her amends for the disappointment and pain she had experienced; but she was at last driven, with much reluctance, into a Court of Justice. Had she brought her action soon after the defendant deserted her, he would have pleaded that he was ready to fulfil his engagement, and defeated the proceedings; but the defendant having last year married anotner Lady, there was no occasion for delaying the present proceedings any longer. The conduct of the delendant towards the young Lady, after she bad resorted to log* proceedings, sorpassedla atrocity every thing which the-Leaned Clonl-1 had heard of during his prOkta ,ional experience. The defendant wrote, * caused t• be written, a letter to the plaintiff, containing lanais, the most ditgusting and horrible; he aid not believe Any Englishman could have .penned so filthy; beas'ly; and abominable a letter. This leztet was •put into the twopenny post office, near. the d•fendant's residence; written an hoot atter the writ was served upon him, and was delivered by the postman at the plaintiff's residenti soon afterwards. The Mother of the plaintiff received it, and instantly recognised the stiierscription to be the hand-writing of the defendant. She gave the letter td her cfsnghter, who, the moment she had read thesAr.i line, fainted, and fell on the floor. He should prove that the direction on the letter, " Miss Jane Hurdling, Alsop's-place Ste." was in thedefendant's hand.mitirg, and that the body of the letter much resembled has usual style of writing. The young Lady might thank Goa that she had escaped being the wife of a wretch CV pable of such unmanly cruelty and beastliness; but that was no answer to the present action. He wils a man of fortune, teepiag a large establishmeati and he was bound to compensate her for the lost of that enjoyment she had a right to have shared with him on becoming his partner for life. He (the Learned Counsel) did not ask a compensation for seduction ; his satiable client had preserved her chase ity, but he asked compel.)v cation of the defendant for having violated II sacred promise, aad for having added to that injury the cruelest and most wanton insult. The defendant detested the woman whom he had plofesiei to love; at a period, too, which proved him void of the common feelings of humanity—when she was lying on a bed of sickness/. He conceived that she could n t bring to his embraces those charms which he had expected to gratify his sordid and lustful appetite, and he cast her off and married another. But he had now no excuse for saying that she was less beautiful than she was before she was alEctea with the malady he had adverted toffee, in tenth, the.* were no traces of that disorder to be found in het face, and she was more beautiful than ever, and not less amiable. The Learned Counsel said, he should proceed to call witnesses to prove his case, and he fully relied on the Jury to do his client justice for the wrong! she had sustained.
