'The A TTUANEY-GENERAL stated the plaintiff's case, and said that she was the daughter of a very respectable gentleman, who had blcri a merchant at Leicester, but had since retired from business 1 1 .er, a competency. The defendant was the son of a clergyman in Welts, and wits a partner in a house in the silk trade, and also a , - artner in a cotton manufactory ; besides this he had an agency, which he executed for another house when he was travelling for orders, i.,.d expected good property on the death of a relation. The plaintiff had received an excellent education, and was an accomplished young weman, having been educated under the superintendence of the cele. twateil Mi.s Linwood. The defendant became acquainted with the young lady through her father, for whom he (the defendant) had acne some busincss at Newcastle•upon-Tyne. The Learned Gentle than observed that the defendant had appointed the time when tbev were to b married—that the necessary clothes were ordered for the we:Alan—that the sister of the plaintiff had been requested to act as brides-maid, and that in consquence of the defendant suddenly breaking off the match this action was brought to recover damage-, t.ot only for the injury done to the plaintiff; but also the shock her 't slings had sustained. Miss Om, the sister of the young lady, was called, who proved OA promise, and the necessary preparation for the occasion. Semi letters were read, which were written by the defendant to me plaintiff, in which he said, " he only wished for that congenial ielisity which would alone be found in her." Mr. DENMAN addressed the Jury for the defendant ; after which they returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 5001. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. littanEn.—At Gloucester, on Friday last, Thomas Cox and Wil!iont Cox his son, were indicted for the wilful murder of Wil liam Wicks, on the 28th of January last, at the parish of Bcsley. The particulars of this case have already appeared. After a long trial, in which an immense mass of evidence was adduced, the Jury convicted Thomas Cox, and acquitted the other prisoner. Sentence of Death was immediately passed upon Thomas Cox. 110 RR rim r: AT R o Y.—At the Chester Assizes, J. Gkaves, a cotton spinner, was indicted for wounding 3latilda, Arundale with intent to murder her, to do her some grievous bodily harm, ~r to procure abortion. The Prosecutrix, apparently not more titan sixteen years of age, stated that she had been enceinte by the prisoner, and was confined on the 25th of September. On the 3th of September she walked in the fields with the prisoner in :he evening ; he suddenly put one arm round her waist, and she instantly felt that she was wounded, and screamed out. He de nied having done any thing, and walked home with her to her father's house, where she threw herself on the bed, and from shame at first, conce aled the nature and cause of the wound, which she at tributed to having sat on her scissors. A surgeon, by whom the prosccutrix was examined, described the nature of the wound. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty on the last count. Mr. Justice Jervis told the prisoner there was no hope for him, sentenced him to be executed. This trial excited a strong sensation. _ _ PUBLIC JUSTICE DEFEATED.—Jan Booth, aged 50, a gaunt ill-looking fellow from I)uckenficld, was placed at the bar at the Chester Assizes on Thursday, for violating Mary Ann and Sarah Booth, of the ages of eighteen and fourteen respectively.—The ATTORNEY-GENERAL requested the Court to postpone the trial until the next Assizes, on account of the daughters hav ing absconded.—The JUDGE said he regretted he had not the power to grant the application. As there was no obligation on the witnesses to attend, they might be missing at the next assizes, and at every succeeding one also, which would subject the prisoner to perpetual imprisonment. His lordship then informed the pri goner that for the present he was discharged ; but intimated to him that he was liable to be taken up at any moment, and cautioned biro to be careful how he conducted himself towards his daughters. He was then discharged. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS. - APRIL 17. FORGERY. John 3FDonald, aged 26. a clerk, was indicted for uttering a forged cheque for 751.105. with intent to defraud Messrs. Gosling and Sharp. bankers, Flect.street. The facts of the case are these.—On the ioth March last, prisoner engaged a porter, named Shaw, who was at oat time attending a sale in Chandos-street, Covent-garden, to present the cheque in question for payment at Messrs. Gosling's house, and desired him to receive a 601. note, and the rest in gold. The checque purported to have been drawn by Sir John Chetwode, and the prisoner told Shaw if any inquiries were made, to state that he brought the check from Sir John Chetwode's eldest son. Ile took address, and promised to watt till he resumed at Doubleday's eating-house, in Bedford-street, Strand. Immediately tte check was presented it was discovered to be a forgery. The por tlr was taken into custody, but having stated the manner in which I e became possessed of the checque, Mr. Gosling and a police officer accompanied him to the eating-house, when they re. rr.ained a considerable time, but the prisoner did not make his appear ance. tillaW heard no more of the prisoner till the 18th of March, wizen be received a letter directing him to leave a message for the prisoner at a two-penny post-office in Brewer-street, Golden-square. tie wrote on a catalogue, that if the prisoner called at his lodgings, he had a parcel to deliver to him, and left it at the post-office. the prisoner, on the 20th, called while be was in bed, and asked if the mo ney was safe ; he answered that it was, that he had left it for safety with a friend, and that if he would go with him to that person's residence, he should have it ; they then proceeded towards the watch. house ; and Shaw seeing a person whom he took to be a police officer, he collared the prisoner and told him he must go to the watch-house ; he struggled and got away, but was finally secured. Witnesses were called who proved all the above facts, and the J u re found the prisoner Guilty. but recommended him to mercy. Jonathan Oakes, and Jonathan Plummer, were indicted for stealing, at Holly Lodge, the seat of the Duke and Duchess of St. Alban's, s clock and 2 vases, value 401. The articles in question, it ap peared, were stolen from the cottage on Highgate-hill, on the night of Sunday, the 14th of February, and on the Monday week follow. ing the prisoner sold them to a Mr. Kilsby, into whose possession they were traced a few days afterwards, and who immediately stated from whom he bought them, and assisted in apprehending the pri. snners ; they at first denied knowing any thing of the property ; but Plummer afterwards said it had been offered to him for sale; but as he had not the money to make the purchase, he had merely intro. duced Eilsby as the purchaser. Oakes kept an old iron shop, and in selling the clock, &c. to Kilsby he represented his name to be bangley, and made his mark to a receipt in that name, which was written by Plummet. Some witnesses were called by each of the Prisoners to prove that they were at their respective residences on the Sunday night of the felony, and they each received a good character. The Jury, after retiring for two hours, brought in &verdict of—Not guilty. Wm. Gardner was convicted of picking the pocket of Mr. Den ning of a silk handkerchief, and sentenced to be transported four. teen years. NEW COURT.

Juppr and James Plummer were indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mary Carpenter, and stealing a va ri Ay of articles, value 30L her property. Guilty—Death.

The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Court sentenced her to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. VIULATION OT A CHILD.—A hoary.headed fellow, named Thos. Bradford, was indicted for violating Elizabeth Faulkner, on the 13th of March last. The poor girl stated the nature of the assault, which is too disgusting for publication. The prisoner was found Guilty, and the Chairman sentenced him to twelve months' imErisonment and hard labour. Consernacy AGAINST MADAME VESTRIS.—This morning Madame Vestria attended, with her friends, before the Grand Jury, and preferred a bill of Indictment against Mr. Joshua Rose Ander son,the new vocal performer who lately made his appearance at Hrury-lane theatre, and Wwt. lloyakinson, in which she charged them with having gone to the theatre for the wanton purpose of hissing her, thereby endeavouring to intimidate her from exercising her profession. The circumstances which led to this proceeding were stated in our BowAtreet report in the Star of Saturday. In the afternoon, the Grand Jury came into Court, and returned a true bill against Mr. Anderson and Mr. Hopkinson. BOARD OF EXCISE,_AraIL.I7.. • ADULTZILATING Bsza—Thornas'Oill, landlOrd of the Hope Isublie house, in Upper East Smithfield, was summoned for having beer-colouring in his possession. On the 11th of De. ember, Iwo Excise officers went to the defendant's house, and found in the bar cupboard a quart of beer-colouring, made of , burnt sugar and molasses, which the defendant said he had for the purpose of colouring rum. In the ale-cellar they found two casks, containing about three hundred weight of salt. In theporter_ orilar they found a tap-tub, at the bottom of which was a quantity of sugar, alma an inch thick. Sugar was also found in other na sals in the cellar. The officers took a sample of the butt of beer on sap to the brewers lobo supplied the Defendant with beer, and on comparing it with a sample butt, it was found to be much deterio rated in strength, with a strong appearance of copperas. The latter rticic was stated to be probably used to give the beer a head. The COURT fined him in the mitigated penalty of 251. Mr Edwards, landlord of a public-house in Whitechapel ; Mr. 'Whim, a publican, in Hereford -street, Marylebone ; and Mr. Capp, landlord of the Flower Pot public-house, in Brick-lane, Bethnal green, were fined, the two former 101. each ; and the latter 51. for a similar offence. .SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Windsor Espress of Saturday.) Sia—According to annual custom, his Majesty's Stag Hounds met on Easter Monday at Farnham Common ; and, if you think this attempt at a description of that day's sport worthy of insertion in your paper, it is at your service. On arriving at the appointed place, it reminded me more of the Cup day at Ace°. than a hunt meeting, so numerous were the carriages of every description, from the barouche and four to the humble drag, many hundreds of eques. miens, and double that number of pedestrians. At length, half past eicven arrived as did the hounds, &c. Now my curio sity was excited to the utmost, to imagine what the deer sould do when suddenly let loose from his private apartment, amidst such an immense mass of people. On leaving the cart, he seemed ashamed of the applause with which he was greeted, and, instead of taking down the avenue so kindly prepared for him, he made his obeisance, and suddenly turned back, and ran nearly to where the hounds wire stationed; consequently, very few of those who cone many miles to see the stag, could tell if he was decorated with ribande or unadorned. On his running to the hounds, I congratu lated the huntsman, for in a minute the road to the common was so blokced up with horses, that it was impossible for him to proceed to where the deer left the cart, so that, by laying on the hounds quietly as described, instead of in the crowd, probably saved the life of many a hound. Here I must do the huntsman justice, hear ing him express his sorrow at the disappointment the ladies would receive by the hounds not appearing on the common as was expected. Now having laid on, I will proceed with the events of the day ; the scent was pretty good, and the first three fields there were as many falls, a large covert checked for a short time their swift career, and here by the bye, an awkward affair took place, for in running through the said wood, a fox was tallyo'd which divided the hounds, and some time elapsed before the whippers-in could get them together ; again they went off merrily over Stoke 1 1 common, but here I must give the cockneys credit, for rather than be idle during the check, they thought it wise to proceed with their day's work, and actually formed a line of horses for two or three miles in the direction the deer had gone ; had the bounds been inclined to be wild, their noses could have been thrown up and their optics would have guided their course; passing Stoke Park the pace be came good (some thought bad,) the ground deep and fences strong ; again the cuckoo note of " Stop my horse" was resumed and con. tinned till the end of the run. One neatly caparisoned young gen tleman I saw crawl from a ditch, dissolving partnership with his horse, and robbing the village ducks of a quantity of weeds con. sidered their property. Now the run was fast, and a chosen few only were well up with the hounds ; but with the help of M‘Adans, riders of all descriptions were enabled to see the run ; Langley Broom was crossed, and Ditton Park skirted ; then to Horton, Wyrardisbury, and Ankerwicke, near Staines, where the deer was taken. The run lasted tine hour and three quarters, and ended to the great joy of many, and satisfaction to the majority ; indeed, for an Easter Monday hunt, it may be considered an excellent day's sport. I believe the accidents were very few, there being only one hound killed, and a chaise shattered to pieces. PARISIAN STATISTICS.•—The number of births in Paris in 1829 was 28,521, viz. 14,C410 males and 13,961 females ; the number of deaths was 25,324, viz. 12,021 males, and 13,303 females. These numbers, compared with the population, give 1 birth to 28-60 inhabitants, 1 marriage to 114-62, 1 death to 30-24. In 1817 the number of births was as 1 to 30.05, and the deaths as 1 to 33-79. _ -- REPEAL OF TILE LEATHER TAX.

RUSSIAN MANUFACTURES.—A commercial paper of St. Petenburgh has lately published various documents relative to the state of manufactures in Russia. From these it appears that in 1 1828 these were in the empire 5,244 manufactories of different kinds, which employed 226,414 workmen. The number of these establishments had increased 122 within the year. The rearing of kne.woolled sheep had made grew progress in the dir ect i on o f t h e Baltic, and even greater in the southern districts. 11. Menses, who acquired mach knowledge in the management of sillt-weems during twenty years' residence in India, has been appointed to su. perintend plantation* of various trees, and other productions, neces sary for their support. Measures have also been taken for improv ing the growth of the vine. We understand the arrangements for extending the 'present telegraph to the Irish coast are going on. The plan pro. posed seems to b e highly approved of, from the number of respects. LaTi;osses that b a y s sigaiW theft intention of subeeribing to pro. , mote the inessure.—Livorpool Courier. ELOPEMENT OF A YOUNG LADY. In the beginning of last week great consternation prevailed in the family of Mrs. Aaron, a widow lady, residing at Kennington, owing to one of her daughters, • girl about eighteen years of age, having eloped from home. Upon inquiry into the circumstances, it was discovered that she had gone off with a com mon sailor, belonging to the Lord Lowther East Indianian, then on the point of sailing for India. It appears that the young lady, who was described as highly accomplished, had recently come home from a boarding-school, where she had been instructed in French, Italian, musk, and dancing ; in fact, she was considered as possessed of very superior literary attainments, arid had just finished her education when the above occurrence happened. The cir cumstances that led to the elopement were these : One of Mrs. Aaron's servant girls has a brother, a sailor belonging to the above ' named ship, and he was permitted to call and see his sister. In the course of those visits, it seemed, Miss Aaron became deeply ena moured of the sailor, and he soon perceiving the favourable manner in which he was looked upon by the young lady, availed himself of it, and an intimacy soon commenced, and for the purpose of seeing each other frequently, appointments took place between them, and they used to meet generally either on Kennington-common, or on the Brixton-road. None of the family were aware of what was going forward, no person in the house being in the se cret, with the exception of the servant girl, who, being related to the sailor, aided and assisted them all in her power. The result of these interviews between the parties was a promise on each side to become man and wife, and a day was appointed for putting up the harms for marriage. In the interval, however, the acquain tance which subsisted between the lovers was discovered by the fa mily ; and the moment,Visa Aaron got a hint of it she immediately abandoned home, and threw herself into the arms of the sailor, who took her to a house in Rotherhithe, where they remained together for some days in seclusion. During this time the young lady's fa. may, who were in a state of great anxiety about her, made every inquiry as to where she had fled, but no intelligence was heard of her till Friday morning. The previous day a female, residing in the street where the sailor and Miss Aaron then were, saw the latter, and perceiving such an extraordinary difference in the appearance of them from each other, at once concluded that it was a runaway match. By dint of inquiry the female at length discovered the rest. dence of Mrs. Aaron at Kennington, and proceeded there forthwith and gave information where the young lady and the sailor were to be found. No time was lost in repairing to the place, and there the lovers were found together in a miserable house. The sailor was immediately given into the custody of a police-constable, and Miss Aaron was with difficulty torn from his embraces and taken home. On Saturday the sailor, who gave his name John Callaghan, was taken before the magistrates at Union-hall, but neither the young lady nor any of her family appeared to make any complaint against him. The prisoner is a stout sandy-haired young fellow, and said he was a native of Ireland. The whole circumstances having been detailed to the magistrates, and It having been also stated by Inspector Bullock that Miss Aaron was entitled to 2,0001. on her becoming of age, the dtferulant was asked why he presumed to entice a young lady away from her parents. Defendant—Your Worship, I did not entice her; she said she would either hang or drown herself if I would not have her; so to save her I consented to marry her. Magistrate—Take care that you arc not going to be hanged instead of going to be married. Inspector Bullock said, that he found a great number of letters in the sailor's possession which were written by Miss Aaron to him. The letters breathed a spirit of pure and disinterested love, the writer over and over again declaring that she should never be happy be happy with any man but " John Callaghan." It was stated that the young lady's parent paid 1401 per annum for her education, and that she was a fitst.rate dancer. Mr. Ilyard—Ah ! she has danced to some purpose, it now ap pears. The magistrates inquired whether Miss Aaron had carried off any property from her home, but it was answered that she had not ; and, when Callaghan was asked after he had married her how he in. tended to support her, be replied that he was going to sea, and that he intended to leave her half his wages, which were 50s. a month. The Inspector said that he inquired of Miss Aaron whether they had been married, but she replied that they had not; and at the same time expressed the strongest affection for the man, declaring that she should like him better than the wealthiest man in the realm. The magistrates discharged the sailor, advising him to get off to sea as fast as possible, which he promised to do, apparently quite unconcerned with regard to the young lady. The inspector had directions to advise the parent of bliss Aaron to keep her at home at least for some time to come. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M ANSI ON-HOUSE. Saturday, $ Jew named Moses Moses, of very small and pitiful dimensions, and embellished with a most cadaverous aspect, was charged with having hit a porter, of more than double his weight, right and left about the fate. The porter stated that as he was car ring some goods to a wharf in Thames-street, he saw Moses with a eve of oranges on his head, standing with some other persons at the entrance, and heard him say that he'd like to give a slavey a warming. The prosecutor believing that the words were directed to him, told Moses to go about his business; but the Jew waited, and uhe (prosecutor) returned, " pitched into him" with both hands, and at once swelled his head to all enormous size. The Loan MAYOR—Didn't you return the blow? I should think that you are large enough to make such a fellow skip. The prosecutor stated the think was done so suddenly, and the Jew's knuckles were so hard, that the light flew out of his eyes before he knew where he was. It was stated by a witness, that the Jew took the porter quite un. aware'; and as he was In the habit of attending the fighting ring, he knew where to plant his blows upon an inexperienced man with most effect. No provocation whatever had been given. The Jew gave a very different account of the matter. He said that as he stood quietly with his oranges upon his head, the porter gave him a tap, and tumbled him. He then got up, and, of course, Mended himself against his opponent, who fought like a in tiger, " but as he mowed nothink about it, be won't likely to suceeed."..— ter.._._) n , ape emu) AYOR said the oranges were all clean, and asked whether they did not fall to the ground when the Jew received the tap that tumbled him. The prosecutor asserted, that the Jew had laid his sieve upon the ground, and regularly made fight, and that he (the prosecutor) did not give the least offence, nor striae a single blow. An Irish orangeman, a friend of Moses, was ready to swear that the Jew had his sieve on his head all the time of the row. The Loan MaToa—What ! when he was tumbled ? The Irishman, who had gone too far to retract, loudly declared, that the oranges stuck to óe Jew even in his fall, and during his exertions in beating the porter about the head. Mr. Hobler—l suppose you can account for that scientifically. Fighting, they say, is now upon a very improved principle ; but I don't believe that Dutch Sam could fight with a sieve of oranges on his head.—(Laughter.) The Irishman—l don't know how the devil it is, your Worship, but whatever the Jews take in hand sticks to them like putty. I'll be on my oath that he fought all the time with the sieve of oranges on his head; but they have got such a way of milling now, that a man's eye-balls are sent bang into the back of his head before he can see whether it's a Jew or a Gentile that's afore him. (Laughter.) Moses all this time looked as sharp as a razor in the countenance. " Look at him, my Lord," said the Irishman, " Why his fate is enough to cut any man's fist in two."—(Laughter.) The LOAD Mayon—Nell, he has found a straight-forward wit nese in you, at any rate ; but we won't encourage any of the Fancy in the Otty, whatever they may do at the West End. I wish that an end could be put to this brutal practice. Moses—Please your Vctsbip, the Jews larns In their own defence; ye are so exposed to insult, that ve're obligated to pitch it in as veil as ye an. The LORD MATOR—WeII, you are all going into Patlimiest very soon, and then I hope there will be no occasion for the fighting system. Moses—Please your Vonhip, when we gets mancipated, I hope the milling will be reg'lated properly, for upon my word, it's so bad of late, that Pm ashamed to beaten near the ring.---(laughter.) The first thing we ought to do, your Vorship, Is to stop this here robbing system, for it's scandalous that a pinkness can't fight now, without it's said he's a going for to cross. It's a shame, your worship.— (loud laughter.) The Loan MAYOI said that the Jew's language was getting fast out of his latitude, and he should put a close to the discuisiou by calling upon him to find bail. The Prosecutor then roped his way out of the Justice Room, and the Jew was obliged to bud bail, which he quickly did from Petticoat.lane. BOW.STRERT. Saturday the landlord ofapu Wm. TriIRNIC)* Joseph Jones, Charles Williams, John Renard, Bravo a n d a prl. vale s oldier, were examined on a charge of being concerned in prim , tiers oldie most shocking description. It was stated that the land. lord allowed pesaooa to assemble at his house for the most infamous purthe soldier had been invited there by one of the gang. 2 " : ll / 2 011011., the Superintendent of the Police, having received some infesmation relative to the house, sent some of his men on Fri. day night, about eleven o'clock, to apprehend any person found there, and the delinquents were plentifully pelted on their way to the watch-houn by the moh. We cannot particularise the stri dence, but the six men were committed to the Sessions ; and It was understood that the soldier would be handed over to the military authorities. It appears that a similar gang are in the habit of as sembling at a house in Streatham, and kr. Thomas sent some of , his men to apprehend them. Q E Ell-SQUA RE. John Lashrnan and 'Thomas .1/organ were charged with itte.4, ing into the house of Mr. John Gould, in Leader.strcet, Ch e t,, on Monday morning last, and atealing fifty-one pair of mcns' ,' valued at 151. The prisoners denied all knowledge of the rob', ..• They were fully committed for trial. WORSIIIP.STREET. A person who gave his name tlilliant Afurrity, was charged 1 ,, obtaining between 601. and 70/.'s worth of goods, tinder false in tenets. Mrs. Edrop, whose husband is a fender-maker, and kelps a in Brick-lane, said that about twelve months ago the prisoner roto_ chased goods at their shop to the amount of IV., for which h e i ,„„ about seven months ago ; he gave orders for goods to the amount 18/., and persuaded her to take a bill at a short date.
