lover's' quartsl they Appealed to a judge sitting atnisi pies, no marriages could ever take place, and the world would be in danger of becoming unpeopled—(A laugh). The quarrels of. lovers were said to be but renewals of love, but he (Mr. Campbell) was convinced that love would not be promoted by the assistance of an attorney --(A laugh). The lovers had in due time after their quarrel met again, and but for the interference of the attorney in the person of. Mr. Homer, the marriage might still have taken place, 'and who could say what prospects by this time might have opened as the fruits w the alliance of this happy pair? 'The defendant on the 22d of March wrote the four lines which formed the ground of this action. As the old lady herself stated, he left the house with the full intention of returning again in the morning to fulfil his promise, but having been seized with a fit of terror, he wrote those unlucky lines which the Jury had heard his learned friend, Mr. Jervis, read. Not in a very Christian spirit his Learned Friend hid said, he trusted, he hoped, the defendant was miserable; and miserable he certainly was; but if it-had not been for the ill-judged interference of med dling friends, long ere this he would have recovered from his nervous fit, and the cow tsbip would have been doubtless brought io a happy issue. He (Mr. Campbell) thought the plaintiff's family were much to blame, &nd had much to answer for, in sending for their attorney, without making Isabella, the tender Isabella, acquainted with all the proceedings. He must say it looked much more like a wish to acquire some of this rich old man, in the shape of damages, than as a son-in-law. The Learned Counsel then taking a review of the evi dence, proceeded to contend that no breach of pro mise had been proved. The promise was to marry on the 18th of April; and as the fracas took place on the22d of March, it was evident the cause of action was not complete. Should the Jury, however, be of opinion that the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict, the next question for their consideration was, what amount of damages was the plaintiff entitled to at their hands? This he would contend was not a case for aggravated damages. It was not alleged that the defendant had made any improper use of the intimacy which had been cultivated under the colour of this promise of marriage. The plaintiff, as his Learned Friend had said,was as pate and as tree from the breath of slander as purity could be, and long might she continue so, he (Mr. C.) would say, to form a happier alliance than she could have ex pected with his aged client; and when he mentioned thatfarr of the subject it brought to his recollection the loss •sustained by the Lady ; and if the Lady bad lost but little, the damages ought to be but little:lf the Lady was at all like her sister, and be (Mr. Campbell) hoped the Jury laid observed how sweetly Miss Martha bad smiled, they must be satisfied she bad lost but little - by the failure of her union with this amorous old farmer. The jury might rely on it, hat notwithstanding the two years the plaintiff had lost, there was still ample time remaining for her to have many good offers. Beau tiful she certainly must be if she was at all like her sis ter, and young too ; for although Miss Martha had said she was thirty, still he thought she must be mistaken, and she admitted that Isabella was younger, and indeed from 411 that appeared he must conclude she was not more than five•and-twenty. Now the poor defendant, notwithstanding all they had heard of his youthful vigour and appearance, was, unhappily for him, on the wrong side r.f sisty-five,'so that there was a sad dif ference of forty years—(A laugh). The old fartnetwas in fact a vety unfit match for the young and blooming Isabella ; and as happiness could not be expected from such a union, he must say every one had , reason to re joice that it had by any means been avoided. A poet of his (Mr. Campbell's) country (Burns) had in the most delicateernanner, and with great feeling, expressed his opinion on the anfortuaate results that ensue from unions of this description.: What ono young lassie Do yr mould man? . • • Oh curse on the penny, That tempted my minnie, To sell her poor Jenny For idler and lan'. • He's always complaining, • Press morning to e'ening. He boats and be birples The weary day bog. • He's doilt and be's desire, His blood it is frozen, • Oh! weany's the night We a crazy sold man.—(Cootinued laughter). Sikh a union he (Mr. Campbell) contended, could have only terminated in the ruin of the defendant and the misery of the plaintiff; and under .such circumstances, the damages, if the Jury should think the plaintiff en titled to any, should be only nominal. Mr. Justice GASILEE. after recapitulating the evi dence to the Jury, lett it to them to determine whether the letter of the 22d of March was a breach of the pro salsa of marriage? If so, he would ads iie them to give such moderate damages as might he a sufficient com pensation to the plaintiff fur the injury they thought her feelings or her character had susoined, or for the in jury she had suffered by the loss of a good settlement ih life. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a vet. dict fur the plaintiff—Damages 40a. (Before Mr. Baron VAuauAw.) John Highfaeid, aged 58, and Wiliam', Highfiekl, aged 61, both re-pectabie looking farmers, were charged with forging a deed of - , gift of certain lands situate at Standi.n, in the couLty.of Stafford, With intent to de fraud Joseph Peake. • There were aim, counts in the indictment for uttering the deer, and for disposing it. • Mr. Sergeant RUSSELL stated that in the year 1819 an elderly man, named Joseph Ward, died; he was a far mer and a man of some property, and had, in the year 1817, made a will, by which he had give,' a small estate, called Bowers, to his nephew, Joseph Peake, subject to a charge of five hundred pounds, to be divided among his near relatives. The prisoner r John Highfield, was. the tenant of this fates, and was dis tantly related to.the old man. On the-death of Joseph Want ) the prisoner. John Highfield, was questioned by the heir-at-law (who was not then aware of the will, which, as soon as he knew it, he acquiesced in)and, for the first time, was told that the prisoner, John Highfield, had had ihopreperty conveyed to him by a deed dated in the year tBlB. This surprised the devizees much, and they caused a •bill in Chancery to-be filed for the purpose cif selling aside this deed. on the ground that it had been Ir.:odulently obtained. To this bill in Chan cery John Highfield pat in an answer; and William Highfield was esarniiied as a witness, and that investi• gation terminated in Mr. Peake's obtaining the pro petty ; but the question now to be tried by the Jury was, not whether the deed was fraudulently obtained, but whether it was forged? It would be necessary, on this latter point, to adduce the evidence of an accomplice, who would prove the actual comrni,sion of the forgery. On his evidence alone he (the Learned Sergeant) would n vet. ask a Jury 10 convict, but his testimony would be conic med in several material points. The story r•f the accomplice would he this—that, shortly after the death of old Jos. Ward, John Highfield came _ go —.— - _,;..~ to the accomplice, w hose.wame is Brown, and made a proposition to him to become a witness to a deed which would secure the estate to the prisoner. Higbfield made large offers to him, and the man agreed to attend for the purpose. Not long after this Brssain was sent for to the house of John Highfield, where he found both the prisoners, with the deed lying before et em, which, at the desire of John Highfield, the witness Brown signed as a witness. " And now," said John Highfield,“ I must put the old gentleman's mark. I remember he used to sign rather black," and then he made a large dark cross, which he said would pass for the old mans signature. It was afterwards proposed to add the name r f Mr. Haw ley as another witness to the deed, he having been dead some time before. But that was not done while Brown stayed in the house. This was the statement of the wit ness Brown ; and to confirm him, it would be proved that, in the old man's lifetime, the prisoner, John High. field, went to Mr. Lockley, then a clerk to Mr. Ward's attorney, to draw a deed of gift, desiring him not to mention it to Mr. Ward. or to take his instructions. and he, Lockley, should receive 1001. In addition to this, it would be proved that John Highfield came into the old man's room, three days before his death, with a pen and ink, and a piece of paper, and his conduct showed that he wanted him to sign something, but the old man not only did no such thing, but assailed Highfield with abuse, and even threatened to give him a. blow.—. In his answer in Chancery, the prisoner, John High field, swore that he always acted as owner of the property. Now it would bevroved that, some time af:er the supposed deed was executed, he spoke not of being owner, but of being tenant of the lands in question.— In addition to all this, it would be shown that, in the year 1819, a few months after the old man was dead, John Ilighfield was anxious to get a deed of gift, a4ld he applied to Mr. Preston, an attorney, to draw him one, stating that he had a deed already, but, in conse quence of a Mr. Green, who, he stated, bad drawn it, being a drunken man, his wife feared it might not be right, and therefore he wished Mr. Prestottto draw him a new deed, to compare with the `one he had already got, to see whether it was a good one; and yet, not withstanding he wanted it merely as a form to compare by, he directed it to be drawn upon stamped parchment. That which was thus drawn by Mr. Preston,was not the tieed now alleged to be forged, but the forged deed is an exact copy of that deed, which was drawn some months after the old man's death. The deed drawn by Mr. P. contained some grammatical mistakes. It had, among others, this error—it stated that Joseph Ward had "given, granted, and sold,and by this very present deed Both con-1 vey," &c. This was an'evident mistake,' and was copied - into the deed now charged to be a forgery. That i.e con• sidered . was conclusive of the fact of the forgery, because the forged deed evidentlycopied a mistake in a deed which never-bad existence till tong after the death of old Joseph Ward. Besides this,the forged deed when produced in the 'Court' of ChancerNhild the name of James Hawley, sea.' as a WitifeSS. 'Now it would be proved clearly,'that that name was not of the hand•irriting of Mr. Hawley, and that the name of Brown, the accomplice, was erased. Now it would turn out that Brown had mentioned the matter to his mother, and she entreated that his name should be taken off, which, after some discussion, it was 'agreed should be done. These were the facts, and the' , Jury would i therefore, have to say whether they were satisfied of the guilt of either or both of the prisoners. kgreat number of witnesses were called itt support of the prosecution, and several cOntradictinnt'were at tempted on the part of the defence; but, afar a trial, which Wiled from eight in the morning till twelve at night, the Jury pronounced both the prisoners Guilty. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN immediately passed sentence of Death upon them. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. • GUILDHALL Among the disorderiles, war" a drunken old peupoider," with her throat half full of gin. She was found sleeping at a door way the night before, and upon , being awakeoed by a watchman, charged him with having stolen a bundle of clothes from her. She had been seen reeling drunk about the streets three hours before, with out any bundle in her pernession, and the watchman, therefore, locked her up, that he ought have au opportunity to vindicate his character. The prieoner,said she was a peasheller, in the Markets, and so wretchedly poor, that she . had not slept in a bed for a month. She did not 'row persist in her accusation against the guardian of the night, and the Magistrate dismissed her, advising her, if she was really as poor as she represented herself to be, to apply to the Overseers of thp.Parish where she last slept in a bed, to be relieved, or passed to her proper parish, for the law bound them to do one or the other. BOW-STREET. Yesterday a well.diessed young man, 'who gave his address William Edwin Julian Villiers, 21, Lincoln's Inn-fields, appeared before Mr. Mnrautiti, the presiding Magistrate, and charged Mr. Augustus Thompson with sending him a letter tending to provoke him to commit a breach .of the peace. Mi. Villiers stated that Mr. Thompson and he, who are both law students, lived in the same house, and had a joint equal right to the use of the kitchen, but that some difference arose between them relative to the coal hole, which could only be settled by a re ference to the landlord, as it involved a point of law and not of honour. He accordingly wrote a letter to Mr. Thompson to which be received an answer, which with the permission of the Magistrate he would beg leave to read. It was as follows t • " Monday, July 18, 1828. " Sia—l am, truly happy to find that the fears entertained for your life are groundless. I thank you for your note, as lam ex tremely desirous that our respective rights may be quietly adjusted. Indeed it has been far from my wish to be under any obligation to you. As you have purchased the furniture of the kitchen, no doubt you have authority to remove them ; but still I think it right to mention, that as my landlord granted me my lease with the use of these fixtures. I shall insist on the right which I have so acquired, while they remain; and if you have purchased them under a bad title, that is not my fault. As to the coals, I have instructed my Windless, for whatever purpose she may require a fire, to light one with my coals—and if she should find a fire lighted, then to put on coals out of my cellar, and keep the fire up only on those occasions that will be required for my convenience. f do not feel myself called upon to bring an action against you ; but at the same I shall be most.happyindeed to derend.one. Should you think fit to esta blish your right to the kitchen aid fixtures, by expelling my laun dress, as you have threatened to do, I take leave to tell you, that I will hold you responsible in case you shall have recoups to force. I remain, Su, " Your very obedient servant, "HENRY AUGUSTUS THOMPSON." "To Fredk. Villiert, Esq. 21, Lincoln's Inn•fields." The letter, which was very long, created a considerable degree of laughter. in which Mr. Mumma. and Sir Racuaaa BiaMu heartily joined, especially when the writer stated, " that he could not keep asp a brisk fire in consequence of the interruption of Mr. VlUiei s servant." Sir RICHARD Pleb!—l don't perceive any thing in that letter to induce you to believe he wishes you to _fight a duel. -Mr. Villiers---Pardon, me Sir Richard ! Does not the expression "holding me responsible for the conduct of my servant" justify my Mr.' Mr. Thompson here stepped forward, and said be begged to be ' permitted to explain the transactibh. In consequence of the irre gularity of Mr. Value's servantil never (said Mr. T.) could get my dinner cooked at a proper hour, and I accordingly remonstrated with Mr. Villiers. but to no purpose, and at length I was driven to the necessity of threatening to horsewhip him on Saturday last. Mr. Minsautt.—" Threatened to horsewhip him!" Why, I think that a more serious charge than any the letter contains. Mr. Villiers—Oh, your Worship, I challenged and fought him fir that. Sir It. Thame—Fought about what? A coal tulle? Upon my word there was nothing sleek about you I perceive.—(Laughter). li Mr. Thompson—Oh yes, Sir Richard, we met at five o'clock yesterday morning, when, after an exchange of fosse shots, I MC' ("sled in wounding my antagonist on the breast, and I then felt that my wounded honour was healed, especially when Mr. Villiers made the necessary apology. AlsosnuLL—Fought and achansed fool shots, and all about • Jo.- coshing a dinner ! From your own enamel,. Tent.baee been guilty 'of a breach of the peaty and I shall hold list° Bond, the police officer, stated that he was sent for en Saturday evening to' take the parties Owe custody, but that be was unable to meet with them. He went again on Monday morning, but he was then told that he was too late, as the Gentlemen had fought about a quarter of an hour before. The parties were then about to enter into a further explanation, when Mr. Miusnut.x. suddenly interrupted the belligerents, by or dering them to find bail, themselves in 500/. and two sureties in 2501. each, to keep the peace towards each ether for two years. Two respectable men, from the neighbourhoods of Acton and Hanwell, came to this Office to apply for the assistance of an officer tt inaestigate an affair which at present is involved in great mystery. For the last three weeks an itinerant traveller, named Penny, has been missing, and the general impression among bis friends is, that he has been murdered. The last time he was seen was en a road between Acton and Haswell, and the individual who then saw him had given so strange an account of their meeting and parting, that suspicion became excited. Under these circumstances; the Ma gistrates directed Ruthven to inquire into the matter. H ATTON-G A RDEN. Thomas Williams and James King were placed at the bar under the following circamstances. About ball-past eleven o'clock on Monday night, they were observed in the Green-lanes, near the six-mile -stone, leading to Southgate, by a party of the Bow-street patrol, one of whom, Thomas Teake, went up to Williams, and catching hold of his coat pocket, felt the handle of a centre-bit la it. He was about to search him, but was struck at the moment by King, who together with Williams ran off; they were however quickly pursued and overaken, and upon their being searched, a complete set of house-breaking implements were found upon them. The prisimers were recognised as old offenders. They were corn snittsd to the House of Correction for three months. MA RY-LA-BONNE. A person of respectable appearance, who stated himself to be independent, and residing at Fulham, was charged with taking two girls into an a-la-mode beef shop near the Middlesex Hospital, and though he had 5(11. in his pocket, refosing to pay the reckoning, but suffered himself to be confined all night in the watclibouse. The Magistrate inquired if he was drunk? which he denied, but the constable said he was fresh. The Magistrate then said, be must pay ss. to the King. He replied, he would rather give it to the poor; when the Magistrate told him if he chose to give 10s. to any Charitable institution he might. This be immediately did, and, after paying the waiter, was discharged. A footman to Lord Limerick was charged with purloining two teaspoons. It appeared he owed 9s to a porter in the neighbourhocid of his Lordship's residence, and on his pressing for payment the prisoner gave him the spoons as a security.—He was fully com mitted, but afterwards admitted to bail. WORSHIP-STREET. A man named Richardson was charged with robbing White, a labourer, of two half crowns, two shillings, and other money. Pro-, secutor deposed, that in consequence of a quarrel with his wife on Saturday night he went out and fell in with the prisoner, who was a I stranger; and they drank together till all the alehouses were shut up; that they wandered about till they were open in the morning. About seven o'clock they went to a public-house in Norton-Mime, I where, after counting his money and finding it safe, he fell asleep, and on awaking found his pocket bad been picked. Three *UM' crowns and two shillings were found on his companion, who had told him he was out of work and had no money. A. chairmaker, however, who employed the prisoner, said he paid him on Saturday night four half-crowns and two shillings. He said he was a good workman, and he believed an honest man, but too much addicted to drinking.—The Magistrate, therefore, after reprimanding both parties, discharged the prisoner. UNION-HALL.' Yesterday two men named Rimier' and i4'ens, who were de scribed as belonging to a gang of thieves who have long infested the Mint in this district, and a 'prostitute. named 'Arndt, wen' brought before Mr. SWA ass, charged with the following outtage and robbery : Saturday evening last, a mechanic, named Morgan, was induced to enter a house in the Mint with the fern.* prisoner, where they had not been many minutes before the door of the apartment in which they were was burst open. and the two male prisoners sad some prostitutes rushed into the room. They immediately at tacked Morgan, who, although a powerful man, could not resist the strength of his assailants, and he was •knocked down and a handkerchief tied over his mouth to prevent him from giving the alarm. While in this state his pockets were all turned 'wide onfi. and be was plundered of between 30 and 40 shillings in silver...r. - During the outrage Morgan made an attempt to rise from the: floor, upon which he was severely bearen about the head ; he, how-, ever, managed to slip the handkerchief off his mouth , and imme diately called out " Murder ;" his cries were beird by two of illow.street patrol, Morgan and Kingslaad, who immediately hunt. in the street door of the house; and at the moment the patrolif fected an entrance the prisoners rushed from the room where they had maltreated Morgan, and escaped at that time by jumpinE over ;wail at the rear of the house, not however before their persons 'were distinctly seen by the patrol, who knew them to be desperate characters, heels; bad them in rcustody on charges of felony. When the patrol entered the room, they found Morgan lying on the floor almost exhausted, and his clothes nearly torn off his hack. The' prisoners, Riordan and Monist, were apprehended on Monday night, in the Kent-road; they were both identified by the com ' - plainant and also by the patrol, as the men whom they observed, make their escape.—The prisoners were committed for trial. • Monday morning, a warehouse in Allen•street, be. longing to Mr. Chidley, bookseller, in Goswell•street, was robbed of 60 copies of Shakspeare's Plays, 20 of Birkett on the New Testament, a number of other books, and eight reams of demy paper, which were taken off in a cart about five o'clock, by two men. Thtee little boys, the eldest 13 and the youngest eight years of age, were tried last week in Paris for stealing, from a Church a small bell used at Mass, and worth about 6d. and also with stealing from a fruiterer a me• lon and 27 sous in money. Tile legal penalty of the latter theft would be about seven days' imprisonmept ; but for the sacrilegious part of the transaction they were sentenced to ten years' imprisonment in a House of Correction! _ SALisnuar, JULY 26.—N. Baker and li.Brown wet* executed yesterday, pursuant to their sentence. Brown was in a very distressed state of mind—the thought of leaving his wife and infant family, in whose defence he. committed the murder for which he suffered, in wretch edness and despair, embittered his last moments; whilst Baker,; from the time he was apprehended, evinced the' most unfeeling hardihood. Yesterday Elizabeth Welch, two years and a half old, whose parents reside in Buckingham -street. Strand, in the temporary absence of her mother, while endea , Touring to light a match, set fire to her clothes, by which she was most dreadfully bum t, and was, taken to the Westminster Hospital, without the smallest hopes of recovery. An Inquest was holden at the Earl of Effingham,, WhitechapeJ, on the body of Sarah Webber, twenty years of age. It appeared that the clothes of the de ceased, who lived in the service of Mr. Arnold, of Shadwal, while engaged . in the kitchen, on Sunday. caught fire, and before any assistance could reach her; the lower part of her person was so much injured, that a few minutes after being brought to the London Hos pital death put an end to her sufferings. Verdict, "Ac cidental Death."—Another Inquest was holden at the same place, on the body of Joseph Gorman, late a stage-coach driver, who expired on the preceding day, in consequence of bursting a blood vessel internally.— Verdict, " Died by the Visitation of GOD." Monday a fine lad, named Satan, aged nine years, proceeded with some of his schoolfellows for the pur pose of bathing near Vauxhall-bridge, when he and one of them sunk. His companion was rescued from a watery grave by a Gentleman in a boat, but the lad Smart was not found until life was quite extinct. The first information his poor mother received of the unfor tunate accident was by some of his companions taking his clothes home, and telling her he was drowned CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, Jaw 30. The Wheat Trade was extremely dull this morning, and although offered at a reduction of its. per quarter under Mooday's prices, no sales could be made, and a great ntany of t►ose directed last market .day were thrown up without assigning any canoe; but the real one was tite:aluiration of the weather, and the accounts from the country helot more favourable for the Wheat crops.

The bank is constantly thronged with numbers of spectators, who freely sport their money on the issue. Betting is at present three to one against his success, which is taken without delay. LORD AbIGLESEY'E PRIZES. Rcuarvc.—Oia Friday the Regatta Minor, if we may:use - the expression, took place at Kingstown. The prizes for yesterday were cordage, gee. given by the Viceroy. About fifteen , fishing vessels had been entered, but only six wherries and four amacho , contested the race.

The vessels, without stopping, rounded the Royal Charlotte, and having Alain traversed the same track, before a favourable gale, they again sailed at abut bee o'clock, the Three Brothers first, the Sarah second, and the dosepit and Patrick , third. This terminated the contest. The prizes mere-- For the first, 45 Sovereigns. •For the second, 30 ditto. • • Pot the third, 2.5 ditto. there was also a rowing match between the Dunkarty and the Wicklow boats.

FIGHT BETWEEN JACK TISDALE AND DUBLEirf • DOWNS, FOR £5O A-SIDE. The fight between these " little ones" took place yesterday at Wrecklesham, beyond Farnham, in the. county of Surrey, and 44 miles from London. Tisdale , is well known among the light • weights of the metro polis, and a short time since distinguished himself in a severe conflict with Dick Curtis, by whom he wee beaten. sis weight nn the present occasion was eight stone four pounds. Downs is a Hibernian, and is but a novice in the ring, having fought but one public . battle, and that with Ned Mason, whom he poliit.infdf with a degree of neatness and .scientific • precision the give great promise of future excellence., It was sue specimen of hit talent which he showed on that occa sion that led his friends to back him against Tisdale; and such was the impression he made in the minds d good judges, Shat many thought he would have proved a second Nonpareil, and freely took the odds of 6to 4 which were against him. His weight, on going into the ring. was est. 111 b. Downs won the toss for du choice of place, and named Farnham, on the borders of Hampshire, for bead-quarters. Thither both men and their friends proceeded on Monday evening; and on consultation with•the Commissary, Tom Oliver, it was stringed the fight should take place on Bendy Heath, in Hampshire. To this spot he proceeded yesterday morning ; but the beaks and their assistants were on the alert, and poor Tom and his followers were forced le to-cross the border, and return to Aram) for fresh in structions. The neighbourhood or Wrectlesham was next chosen ; and after divers accidents ü by , od and field," the ring was farnied on the farm of an indulgent yeoman, on the summit of a high bill, and the scattered amateurs were collected in its neighbourhood auras numbers. • . , • At ten minutes after one, the combatant:entered the arena. Tisdale attended by Dick Curtis and Ned Stook man ; and Downs by Harry Jones and Paddy Fiyna. Both looked. well, and confident; and the ring. Iron the regularity of its formation, had . a fiery imposing appearance. THE FIGHT: Onsetting to, from the ix;;WirinirrtoTvisieh each man threw hies. self, and from the style in which he covered his points, it was des that a scientific display might be elpected, and this anticipation era fully realized, for we have seldom seen more admirable atups, nes and left, on both sides, and more particularly on the part of Down& To stoppft, however, be confined himself; for with the escepwra of a few robbing hits on the nose, a slap under the right eye, • is cut or two on the forehead, the punishment of Tisdale was of nude moment, while his deliveries in return were terrific.
