NUMBER 11 805 1 INUNDATIONS IN GERMANY.—APPEAL to the BENEVOLENT.—The devastation* lately caused by the o verflow of the riven in Germany, and particularly in she Grand Duchy of Baden, the Hessian Provinces on the Rhine, Bavaria, and Wurtemberg, have compelled nearly 50,000 poor sufferers to appeal for relief, in their almoit indescribable distress, to the cha sitable British Nation. Through whole districts the waters have swept off every descrip tion of property, and all their little farming stock. At this period of the year the severity of the weather, much more intense there than in England, adds to their misery ; and a more pitiable case was hardly ever laid before that Nation whose benevolence has never hitherto been called upon in vain. By far the greaterpart of these unfortunate people have numerous families, and are at this moment in want of every necessary of life. In making their melancholy situation known to Great Britain, Mr. N. M. Rothschild entertains a firm hope, that these numerous s ufferers will not be the first from whom the proverbial benevo lence of the Nation will be withheld.

REAL and SEVERE AFFLICTION—A GEN TLEMAN, considerably advanced in Years, who hitherto, by his literary qualifications (though deteriorated by accumulated infirmity), has supported himself with 'decency and comfort, is latterly reduced, by a considerable increase of those afflicting dis pensations, to an extreme state of physical debility and pecuniary indigence. He was regularly engaged for many years in a par ticular department of POLITICAL Literature, but which, from long continued and severely diseased eyes, he was, some time since, constrained to decline. After long struggling against the twgfold calamity, destitution of employment and increased expense, through his physical afflictions, the latter were most seriously ag gravated by an Apoplectic attack in December last, which though the fit was providentially surmounted, still injuriously affects him. His pecuniary resources being thus completely exhausted, he is tncler the necessity of appealing (which he does with humble con fidence) to the liberal and compassionate sympathies, and to that discriminating benevolence, which laudably characterise so many in dividuals of the Hamm Punic, submissively intreating those under such benign influences, to contribute to his assistance and relief.

THE I'EC I'ORAL ELlXlR.—Experience, during a very long period, has incontestihly proved the superior ef ficacy of this Medicine, in all Cases of COLDS, COUG HS, and ASTHMATIC AFFECTIONS. By promOting gentle expectora tion, it very shortly relieves the Patient of a slight or recent Cold, and a few doses are generally sufficient to remove those which neg leet has rendered more confirmed and obstinate, and which are ac companied with Cough, Spitting of Blood, and other serious symp toms. Its peculiar balsamic powers tend to heal soreness, and allay the irritation of the lungs, in cases of Cough; and in Ast hmatic Af fections it assists and gives freedom to the Breath.

BENELLI. • The Loeb Cit.txdzia.clit had before given it as his opinion that the•plaintiff could not succeed in his mo tion for the appointment of at manager and. receiver, without, in : effect, releasing the Marquis of Herttord, and the other Gentlemen concerned in the bonds, horn the obligations of their.sureties. Mr. HART now stated that hewas ready to take the chances of the Motion, with the condition only that, it should be taken without prejudice to the legalliabilitiet of the sureties. _ . The LORD CHANCELLOR repeated a part of what he had urged on the last hearing, that he could not put the property under Mr. Ebers' management, or that of any oiler person at the suit of Mr. Ebers, being also against the ,will of the other parties, without effectually releasing them from their sureties. Mr. HORNE pressed for the costs of the motion on be half of the sureties. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought, that as he had been the slave of the Opera-house so long, the Opera-house might well allow him till to-morrow morning to deter• mine upon these costs. BLAKIMORE O. OLAMOROANSHIRE CANAL. The rest of the time was taken up in argument upon a motion to dissolve the injunction, by which the plain tiff withholds from the Company the power of widening and deepening altogether, and instead of it, to direct an issue at law, to try whether the operations of the Corn pany are or are not within the prohibitions and provi sions of the Act of Parliament upon which the injunc tion was first granted.—Further hearing to-morrow. lIARINOTON V. HOGOART. Sir John Harington, as it appeared, had bid for an estate, sold by Hoggarr and Phillips, which was knocked down to him at 10,0001. He made the usual deposit, and as it would seem, discovering some defects either in the estate, or the mode of conducting the bargains, the fulfilment of the contract is still delayed, while pro ceedings upon that question depend in Chancery. In 1822, Sir John tiled a bill for discovery of interest ob tained by the auctioneers upon his deposit of 2,0001. since 1813, when it was paid down. To the bill de murrers were put in, and this part of the cause was fully argued. The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion, that the auc tioneers were bound to shew the interest _received, in order to aid the plaintiff in bringing his action at law for the recovery of the money and the interest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMBER 6. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. WHARTON V. LEWIS. Mr. BROUGHAM stated the case to the Jury. It had never fallen to his lot to state, or to hear stated, a case of this nature, whose circumstances called more feel ingly and powerfully upon their commiseration for the young woman, and reprobation of the other party. The plaintiff was Miss Amelia %Marto:), a young woman, daughter of a very respectable man, who had retired on a very competent fortune. He had kept an Inn in Berkshire, and had retired to %Yarborough, in Oxford shire. His daughter had been brought up with great care, educated with strictest morals, and possessed great personal attractions. Unfortunately she had become acquainted with Capt. Lewis, for he now.was a Captain in the Madras Infantry. He had beenr at home on leave. The Learned Counsel detailed ibe circum stances which were after wards proved in evidence. He had never heard of a family who wholly conducted themselves with such entire propriety as that of the plaintiff. The defendant WAS son of a very opulent man, who had retired from business in this town. He was himself in the way of very high promotion. When tie plaintiff's want of ft:its:me was stated to the de fendant, he said, Understand at once, that fortune is not my object." His father said the same. Yet the breaking off was not unconnected with Matters of for tune•. It was extremely unpleasant to read in that C,,,l t t letters only interesting to the parties; but he would read some passages to shew the unrestrained at tachment of the defendant My dearest and be loved Amelia—Without you, I arts wretched. You are necessary to my existence. No one has ever felt what you and I have felt," Sm. &c. On one occasion he signed a vow, and urged her to it coo. She did bigti it. On a Sunday morning, he addressed to her such expressions as these t—" I cannot better employ time titan in writing'to you.. I have been wretched all ni,4,11t. I dreamt you were near me. I feel wild ;. I canti , .t write. My only consolation Is reading your letters." From a most malignant and spiteful anony mous account sent to his father, his friends, who had highly approved from the first, made an inquiry for an instant, and but an instant. The falsehood was equal to the malignity of the anonymous slander. All his friend ,, receives! her as his intended wife. Mr. BROUGHAM called the following witnesses:— Mr, Henry Wharton—l am brother of the plaintiff. I reside at Walworth, and am clerk in the house of Messrs. Glyn and Co. In June, last year, defendant came to my house, the first time I saw him ; he was introduced by Mr. Hodson. A party was made for Vauxhall, on the 18th of June, consisting of the defen dant, Mr. Hodson, my wife, my sister, the three Misses Lewis, and myself. The same party were at Fairlop Fair, and afterwards again at Vauxhall. I asked Mr. Hodson to stand sponsor for my child. I believe Mr. Lewis made the offer. Mr. Lewis did stand, and the child was christened Amelia Lewis, at his desire. After this, about two days, he said he was so seriously in love with my sister, that he wished to make her an offer. I told him my sister had no fortune, at any rate till the death of my father, and I did not know what she might have then. He said fortune was not his object —would she have her outfit? I said I had no doubt of it. At another period, I said he -ought, in his circumstances, io get 5,0001. at least, and I wished never to see him again. He repeated, as before, that fortune was not his object; he was very miserable, and did nut know what to do. He called again, and brought a note from my sister.— He seemed very happy. It was because lie was accepted by-my sister. He continued to visit at my house. The plaintiff's father lived in Castle-street, Leicester-square. My sister was living with Me. Old Mr. Lewis was a hosier and glover. He is now retired from business. I called upon him some days after the note was brought to me by Mr. Lewis, in Lime-street ; it was in July, 1829. I supped at Castle-street when Mr. Lewis, the defendant, was present. The same statements were made then as with the defendant before. I told old Mr. L. she would have no fortune, but I believed she would have her outfit.. He said they seemed very fond of one another, and he hoped they would be very comfortable. At all events he could do no more for him. An invi tation to dine at Castle-street was not accepted in con sequence of the anonymous letter sent. The deendant had called and shewed the anonymous letter. I said, , g Mr. Lewis, satisfy yourself; I'll give you every re ference." He seemed as indignant as myself. I re ferred him to the person whose name was mentioned in the letter. He said, next day, he was perfectly satis fied of the innocence of my sister. My father came to town, and we saw old Mr. Lewis on the suhject of that letter. Defendant was not present; we staid to supper with old Mr. Lewis; the engagement went on as be fore. On the Wednesday after this, my wife, my bro ther, his wife, my sister, my father, and myself, dined there. The defendant was there. My sister was re ceived by old Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Lewis, and the defend ant, as his intended wife; they treated her very kindly. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis wanted my sister to go to Mrs. Manzard's with them ; my sister went ; the defendant 1 1 was of the party. My brother George kept the King's Arms on the other side of Maidenhead Bridge ; my . luster staid with me two months. In October she went on a visit to the King's Arms. Early in November my brother George's affairs became embarrassed. I told the defendant my father would be so involved, that I feared the outfit could not be given to her, and I thought the connection had better be broken off than it should go any farther. He said nothing could induce him to break it off. My brother became bankrupt on the 20th of December. In the course of this year, I said I should be entitled to considerable pro i :erty in five years in right of my wife, and if his father would advance two hundred pounds I should pay interest at live per cent. and in a few years repay the principal.— This was early in January. He seemed much pleased, and said he would inquire of his father. I called on the 12th of January with a letter which I had received from my father. I told old Mr. Lewis that I came to ask the reason of breaking with my sister, and handed hint the letter. He read it in the most callous manner. I said I would horsewhip his son wherever I met him. He said he would have me to Bow-street. I said I wished he would. He said he would send for his son. He was sent for and came. He walked up coolly to the fireside, as if nothing had happened. I was so exa4.- perated that I could not speak. My brother George said, 4 , Mr. Lewis, I address myself to you. Will you marry my sister if the outfit is provided, as that seems to be the only objection to the marriage?" The defen dant said, " After what has happened, I will not marry her." Old Mrs. Lewis, with tears in her eyes, said, she never saw a Lady she would like better to be her daugh ter•in-law, and she hoped it would be arranged. My sister has been in very bad health ever since. She is now with my father, at Warborough, in Oaf rdshire. She lived with me five months this year. She said if she had 50,0001. she would lay it at his feet. George Wharton.—The defendant and plaintiff were at my house three weeks in September, and nearly three weeks at a subsequent period. He pressed for a private marriage, because his friends wished it tc be put off till the eve of their departure for India, to pre vent inconvenient consequences during the voyage. I de cidedly declared I would hot suffer it. My sister was extremely ill, and her mind wandered. At the time I asked defendant whether he would marry her if the oat tit was provided, I told him she was so ill, and if he • •
