The aspect of affairs which it presents Great Britain, and the pacific—we may say; indeed, friendly spirit which it breathes—is to us, and must be to every'Englishman, most gratifying. The delicate' and important discussions which had been going on between the two Governments, and the conflicting in terests attending them, had, in some degree, been the cause of eneasiness to many of the friends to both casei n-in. These - fears we knew welt groundless ; and we have the President's' nthority for saying, that these dis cussions 4 have terminated in the adjustment of some of the questions at issue upon satisfactory terms, and• the postponement of others for future diicussion and agree ment: Of the various subjects which claimed the attention of the two Cabinets lastyear, that inlrela td the deported slaves is amicably settled, by the sishi-goveSuenesst , -the 'award mar fee under the Treaty of 'Ghent. The pm waclarge, , but the demand was just ;and England has nobly supported but character in proniptly answering it: The tribute of applense spontaneously made *by tier President on this point falls worthily from the liprof the Chief Magis trate of a free people. " The renewal of .the Commercial Convention has ` Riven perpetuity, for an unlimited period, to the Com : erercial intercourse now happily and profitably:subsisting between the twd nations; it has, too, effected a tempura compromise-of the differences in telation -to 'Colombia River ; and further, this compromise has .for its basis strict principles of reciprocity. The North-eastern boundary is also put in a train for settlement—a special Convention having been concluded at London, on the 29th of September, which has so shaped the question, and so disentangled it of its .clifficulties, that it can be laid before a third and friendly Power, for arbitration, in -conformity to the provisions of the Treaty of Ghent. So tar, then, this source of national irritation is removed, and we trust the matter will be settled, if that be possi ble, to the satisfaction of those more immediately in tetested. The metier is now, We suppose, out of the hands of Great Britain : she has confided it to _the friendship and honour of her arbitrator. The never ending subject of the Colonial Trade has at last, we hope, received its quietus. Great Britain adheres to het ,pnlicy, from various motives of national interest ; the 'United States does the same, for the same reasons, and asserts that she suffers not from the British restrictions. Both parties then agree to differ, and neither has any right to complain ; and the two .onflicting interests, 'like two opposite currents, neutralise each other—they create a temporary ruffle at the moment of collision, but soon overcome each other, and sink down into the tranquillity of the silent stream.' WINTER ASSIZES. • )11tIDSTONB., „ANIMAT 2. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN arrived here this afternoon about five o'clock, and immediately proceeded to the New Cotuts,where his Majesty's commission was opened. Mr. Justice BATLICY has nut yet atrived, and is not expected until the morning, when the business of the Assize will commence. This is the first Assize-since the completion of the new Courts. They are built in a most substantial manner, and form a very handsome structure. The building is chiciiy,composed of stone raised within the county.— From a cursory view, the architect appears to have made convenience his great object; the whole of the building is surrounded by iron railings—a grand area being in front. - The Criminal Court has two spacioua,galleries—the one for the accommodation of the Grand Jury, and the other for the Ladies, at the end of which there is a massive marble pißai, from whish is suspended an ele gant lamp and five lights. • - .The Grano. Jury Room is, a most superb apartment, having two fire-places, with chimney-pieces of elegant sonstraction of the finest marble. In the centre of the room is a substantial table of English oak, inlaid with Spanish mahogany; the chairs are also of oak, - with circular board, and covered with light red morocco leather. The floor of the apartment is covered through- out with a rich Turkey carpet; and to protect the Grand Jury from any ifstonvenience from a current of air from the staircase, a screen is judiciously placed.— From the windows the prospect is most delightfully picturesque. The calendar contains the names of 144 prisoners.— The offences generally are not of a serious cast. There is one charged with murder, two with 'manslaughter, several with burglaries, and two with poaching. THURSDAY. JAN. 8. Before Mr, Beam Vacua/IL Cornelies Brewer, aged 24, was capitally indicted for busglariously breaking into the dwelling house of Elizabeth Prest, at Lewisham, and stealing therein various articles, her property. Mr. Pora.oca stated the case for the prosecutiones. The prosecutrix was an aged and infirm widow Lady, residing at Lewisham. The prisoner, about two years back, had been in her service as footman. On the night lof the 11th of December, her house was broken open, between the hours ot ten and seven o'clock; the entrance ,by the burglar was effected in such a manner as to leave little doubt but the person entering the premises was well acquainted with- them. At an early hour of the day, after the committal of the burglary, the pri soner was stopped by a patrol, carrying an umbrella; suspicion was awakened from circumstances, and the prisoner was searched ; on his person was found a valuable lace cap, and several other articles of wearing apparel, which he should prove were the property of the prosecutor. On questioning the prisoner after be had been searched, he stated that he bad picked up the articles of ap p are l lh on the road , together with the um brella, but gh it was a very rainy night, there were no marks on any of the articles that could lead even to a supposition that they bad been laid or thrown down un dirty road. The. Learned Counsel called evidence whiih fully supported the statement he bad made. Mr. Cx.ennsoN appeared for the prisoner, and cross• examined the witnesses at great length, but without Maki!), their evidence in chief. The prisoner, in ills defence, said that he went on that night to Lowisbato,fot the purpose of laying eel hooks 1 1 • 10 0 111 1 0 11 I. SO 1 1 1 1 O S O 10 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 10 0 17 s 0 at the request of a Much injured young Lady, to en. foree,• as far as in him humbly lay, her claim to com pensation for an undeserved and aggravated insult put upon her by the defendant. Miss Ward was of very tender years, as yet in her minority, as would be seen 'by her suing bylet next friend. She was of respectable connections, unimpeachable messeiatione, lad amiable perienalluelitias:Ver station in life was met of the moat brilliant, bat it rift. at least on * par with the defen dant's.'ilse being the sister-hi-law of a heir-dream hr this town, he the son of an affluent-paper mould,inakes, and himself practising' that respectable and profitable employment. There was nothing therefore, inconsistent in an alliance between these parties. It would be shewn to she Jury that the defendant, who, at one time, boasted of being' the oldest friend of Miss Ward's brother in law, in this town, was in the habit of frequenting that person's shop, in which' Miss Ward occasionally assisted when her brother and sister were otherwise engaged. In one of those meetings, a feeling of preference was engen dered in the defendant's bosom, which, in the sequel, he disclosed to the plaintiff. and which he had influence, enough upon her to make her believe was of the most , enduring as well as most tender kind. She certainly possessed within herself many attractions, which would warrant a fair shaie of admiration from any man.— But her , beauty was not all her -recommendation; for, besides being passing fair, she was withal candid and honest, in-her dealings with her lover. At the firm development of his feelings to her; Mis Ward fairly eiplained to Mr. Green that she had no property—that `she had no prospects.—and that, unleis he was content to be enriched with that alone which she had to give —an unsullied and devoted heart (and what can be cf more ,value ?) their prospects must be altered. She begged him to consider the important step which he was about to take, and entreated hien to do nothing rashly. - He acquiesced so far as to take trine to con• rider, but mature reflection seemed only to confirm what his. first impulses had suggested, and he repeated his entreaties to her, with increased force, to become his wife. "The Lady's doubts were by this step dissipated, and undoubtedly from that moment she surrendered her mind to the workings of affection, breathed riper and strengthened by undiminished confidence and un doubting mutuality. It was not pretended that the defendant was as yet insincere—for what man at the age of 24 was insincere to a beautiful young woman? He was then 24 ; she not 20—the very' season for love., The Jury, and he (Mr. A.) who had passed the fiery ordeal of that impetuous epoch of the feelings. when reason holds but small sway over the passions, might still i imagine how this defendant loved, and hose he was be loved. It happened that, about April 1826, the de fendant had occasion to go to London. The parting from the plaintiff was painful ; but, in his absence, he found solace in that resource which art has supplied as a substitute for the oral interchange of the heart's speaking,. and which has been said to be able " To waft a sigh from Indus to the Pole." IHe wrote her two letters, which would be put in evi dence. These epistles breathe an odour of pure and ardent affection ; they paint—as letters ought to do— fairly and truly, the miserable state to which the de fendant was reduced by absence: and the Jury would judge of the strength of the affection by the writer's stating that he could not take a walk into the fields at rogsland—a village near Hackney—without sighing l for the company of his best beloved. He would re serve the reading of the letters to their proper place, and only remark now that the allusion to a golden key, -which opens the lock of the heart, was conclusive upon this subject. Now, it might be said, when the letters in question came to be looked at, that, from the peculiar style of them. they were not to be regarded with great attention. He (Mr. A.) ad mitted that they were not written in the purest English, and that they a ere not the production of a man who had 'finished his education at the universities of Orford or Cambridge. But were they the less genuine for that ? The language of the heart is simple and single—end so I that it pours out its effusions intelligiblf to another re sponding heart, it mattered but little whether the first person ought to housed instead of the third; or that all the obligations of grammatical rules were coiripiied 'with. For his own (Mr. A.'s) part, he never could laugh at any thing which seemed to come from the heart.— Language was but an invention of art ; and, however finished it might be, where the soul spoke not, it was as insipid and unpleasing as a highly chiselled marble, which lacked expression. After souse time the defend ant returned from town, and he then proposed marriage ,in the following September. The defendant—No, Sir,it was in August. ' Mr. ADOLPHus—He was correct in saying September. The ceremony did not, however, then take place, and the brother-in-law of the plaintiff felt himself called upon to ask some explanation of the defendant's con duct. He saw the effect which the delay was causing upon the young lady, the danger to her health created by the irritation of her feelings, and the prejudice to her character by the notoriety which the affair bad al ready obtained amongst all her acquaintance. The defendant repeated his professions of attachment, and fixed the final day for some day in the January follow ing. He, at the same time, avowed that an impediment had somewhere subsisted to the match; but that it was then entirely removed. This impediment had since turned Oat to be the opposition made by his mother, who, it appears, was wicked enough to, throw out some insinua tions against the plaintiff's character. January came, bat no wedding. Another month was then fixed; b eventually the defendant broke off altogether, and thus entirely violated his solemn engagement to the young woman. Then came the action, the outline of which' he had stated to the Jury. It would be for them, under all the circurnelanceir, to say to•whardatnages the plain tiff vas entitled. tier ebeencree weeenimpearled and unimpeachable. She had sustained as great an injury almost as woutaa can' sustain at the hands of man. Neglected, slighted, despisedosn object of acorn tot,* jealous arva & envious (and of pretty women the female world is Okays en vi could she henceforth look even the best-natured of her friends in the face, after being thus rej ctOcl ? The mother's conduct threw an ingre. dient of cruelty into the case; but let her prove her insinuatane if she could. There was nothing of the sort on the record. It would be shewn that the defendant bought plate for the maitiage, and went about a house for them to live in afterwards. He was of an agemature enough to be sensible of what he was doing. It was for the Jury then, who were themselves fathers of families, to say what damages ought to be awarded to a young woman who was thus basely deceived, and that upon a subject in which her prospects in life, her health, her best feelings, and her peace of mind during her future life, were so deeply concerned. He left the apse viith confidence in their lunch., knowing that they would not aggravate the young woman's wrongs by a super added 'malt of small or trifling damages. The Learned - Counsel then proceeded to call his witnesses. Mr. Joseph Paine—l aufbrother in law of plaintiff, having married her sister. - I am abair dresser in this *me; the •plaintiff had, been liimLin my.,housn„thtee 'years ; she is 'about .80, and 'or , very- eogeging appear ance; I never have seen any impropriety in her conduct; I defy any one to say so; the plaintiff used. to assist in my shop when my wife and I were very. busy ; the de. *dant frequented my shop ; I was intimate with him, be was the first customer I bad wben I came to aidstone; he is by trade a paper mould maker; his 'father is in the same line of business; I-have beard him Speak of his income; upon one occasion be said he could earn from 34 to 44. a week; he said his father.was , doing it great deal of business, and that he was a man of pr o per ty ; he said he had expectations of a .share father's business, and of coming .into the whole of ,it; 'bout two years. ago he a.ked to be introduced to my sister, in or4er to pay his addresses to her ; he continued his attentions for a considerable time, hardly missing an evening of seeing her ; his father and mother knew* of it. His grandmother also knew of it, and pry sister has been at her house. The defendant sent to town Some time in the year 1826. Up to that time the attachment had gone on between them. He had continued his professions, and I have strong reason to believe that the feeling was mutual. lie wrote letters to her from London. I have received a note from him, and know his, handwriting. He returned from London in the latter end of the summer i of • 1826,. and told me it was his patents wish for . tbem to be married in the lattkr end of September, and he had so fixed When Selarkitsber came he silk/ his parents were not quite prepared to furnish a house,rfor him, and he therefore wished to pnapone it tillrheend pf December; I told him he must please ttiorelf.
