NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING, 1830. Race Course, Wednesday Afternoon, Five o'Clock. The betting at the Kingston House Rooms last night continued till a late hour, and opened this morning in the Club-roam-yard to lerably brisk. The Mummer is in better favour than before, Bto I having been taken two or three times ; this would imply that fa. vourable accounts have been received from Epsom. Lord Exeter's two were also in increased demand, Mahmoud making an advance which would seem to confirm the assertion of his superiority over Augustus. The odds before coming on the heath this afternoon were as follow : 3 to 1 apt Mr. Chifney's Priam (Cressida) (taken) 25 to 1 Lord G. Cavendish's Mouse colt (taken) 8 to 1 Mr. Petre's Bruntwicker 8 to 1 Sir M. Wood's The Mummer 12 to 1 Mr. Ridsdale's Little Red Rover 11 to 1 Lord Exeter's Augustus 15 to 1 Sir M.

The odds were 6 too on Mr. Ridsdale's. This was one of the most curiously.run races that has been seen for some time, neither the horses nor the jockeys appearing to have any idea of the necessity of running straight ; they went over all parts of the Course, and seemed to be going full bolt amongst the spectators on the wrong side of the bushes ; just at the close, however, they got pretty well to gether, and finished with a dead heat ; Ada rode by Arnull—Mr. Ridsdale's by Wheatley. Both horses having gone on the wrong side of the post, it Is disputed whether the forfeits can be claimed, nor is it yet known whether the horses can run again; if so, it will not be till very late.

The racing this afternoon was better, the company more numer ous, and business altogether more extensive than yesterday, not that the running calls for any further description than that given by us in our express account, for the races were won with considerable ease. The 2,000g5. Stakes was quite decisive as to the relative me rits of Mouse and Augustus, the former never having a chance of winning. The King's Plate Race was unusually severe for so great a distance. Tao was hard to get of, but afterwards kept well in front, and won by a neck only, being sadly distressed. Seraph was also punished severely, and Acacia was beat a long way from home. The odds were 7 to 4 cn Seraph, 3 to 1 on Acacia, and 4 to I ago. TOllO, who was rode by Wakefield. The Kingston House Rooms were crowded this evening, and se veral heavy engagements were made at the undermentioned odds : s 7 to 2 agst Mr. Chifney's Priam (taken) 9 to 2 Sir M.

DARING BURGLARIES.—On Thursday night, the 22d instant, the dwelling house of Mr. Joseph Wontner, Bedford-row, Islington, was entered, and a large quan tity of property stolen, consisting of a diamond guard ring with eight stones, an emerald and pearl guard ring, a gold ring with three emeralds, a miniature set in gold, a quantity of money, articles of wearing apparel, &c.— Early on Monday morning, the dwelling house of Mr. Wright, Pomona-place, Fulham, was entered, and several articles carried off.—During Divine Service, on Sunday afternoon, some thieves broke into the house of Mr. John Parnell, No. 6, Eve-terrace, St. Pancras, and car ried off a large quantity of plate and other articles, with 61. in cash. They effected an entrance by forcing the kitchen window with a crow bar. DARING ROBBERY.—On Sunday evening last, as Mr. Henry Ginger, of No. 15, Cornhill, was passing along Whitechapel, he was bustled by two females, and his watch and gold chain and seals were carried off, the steel-guard which he had round his neck being cut or broken. Information has been given of the above rob bery, and, as the parties can be identified, it is expected they will soon be in custody. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, AFOUL 28. This being the first day of Easter Term, the Judges took their seats with the usual forms. NEW TELLLS.......CASHELL V. HOLMES. - " _ The ATTOkNEY-OENERAL moved to set aside the verdict for the plaintiff in this case, and enter a nonsuit. The action was tried in Sussex. The plaintiff had been employed to convey a quantity of bullion and specie, amounting in value to 221,0001. from South America to London. He met with bad weather in the Channel, and put into the port of Arundel. The treasure was there unshipped, and put on board another vessel. The Commissioners of the port and harbour demanded 7501. for dues, and seized one of the chests of silver until they were paid. The plaintiff paid the money under a protest, and brought this action to recover back the excess which it was contended the Commissioners had taken. The question turned upon the terms of an Act of Parliament, which gave the Commisedoners certain dues upon the precious metals imported into the part of Arundel. The COURT suggested that the question might come for argu. meat in the form of a special case, and that course was adopted. BRIGGS G. JOHNSON. Mr. BROM:MAD' moved to set aside the verdict given for the plaintiff for 1001. damages, on the round of a misdirection of the Judge, and also that it was a verdict against evidence. It was an action for maliciously, and without probable cause, imprisoning the plaintiff. The cause was tried at York, before Mr. Justice Parke. It appeared that an insolvent person, named Wigglesworth, had been accused of fraudulently removing his goods. The plaintiff, on suspicion of rendering his assistance, was taken into custody. The learned counsel now contended that the evidence proved probable cause for taking the plaintiff to prison, and that the verdict could not stand. The Court granted a rule to show cause. GILL V. WATERHOUSE. This cause was tried at Warwick. Itwas an action against a common carrier for not delivering a parcel containing gold watches, sent from Coventry to Liverpool, to be forwarded to Aberdeen.— The parcel was lost. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the value of the watches. Dlr. Bnoutiiiest now moved to set aside the verdict, on the ground of a misdirection on the part of the Judge, who left the Jury to say, whether the plaintiff had known of a notice in the de fendant's coach.office, wherein he refused to be answerable for any parcel above the value of 51., unless specially paid for. The Court held that the direction was not objectionable, and re. fused to disturb the verdict. MANDAMUS. Mr. CAMPBELL obtained a writ of mandamus commanding the election of a Mayor in the Borough of St. Ives. The application was made upon affidavits, stating an irregularity in the last election. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, APIIL 28. Sittings in Baoco. This being the first day of Term, the Judges came down to Westminster with the usual ceremonies. Notions of course, and a few matters uninteresting to the general reader, were only dis posed of. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Arm 28. BROWN v. WINDSOR. Sir W. Own)/ appeared to move for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case should not he set aside, and a nonsult en tered, or a new trial granted. It was an action to recover damages for the injury done to the plaintiff's house by the defendant exca vating a cellar, and was tried before Mr. Justice Goulburn, at the last (heat Sessions for Cardigan. The Jury found for the plaintiff; damages 501. The circumstances of the case were shortly these : The houses of the parties adjoin, and the defendant, who is a wine and spirit merchant in Cardigan, excavated a cellar for the purposes of his business, which the plaintiff alleged was the cause of several acts of damage io his house. The plaintiff's house was built some years after that of the defendant's, and rested on the gable end of his house. Under these circumstances the Learned Judge doubted whether the action was maintainable, and gave leave to the learned counsel to make this motion, the ground of which was that it was the duty of the plaintiff; being cognizant of what the defendant was about, to secure his own premises by shoring, or any other necessary means. The plaintiff lived in his house the whole time the alteration was going on, and was fully aware of all that was taking place. Under the circumstances the learned coun sel submitted, on the authority of the case of l'aton v. the Mayor of London (9 Barnewell and Cresswell, page 725), that it was the duty of the plaintiff to secure his house, and therefore that the verdict must be quashed. There was also another ground for the motion, of some informality in the pleading, which the learned counsel was going on to argue at some length, when he was stopped by Mr. Baron Gaanow, who said there must be a rule to show cause, .to enable the court to see the Learned Judge's notes.—Rule granted. The Court rose at three o'clock. LONDON SESSIONS, April 28. This morning these Sessions commenced before the RECORDER and Alderman Sir J. SHAW, Sir C. S. HUNTER, &c. THE KING T. KHAKI/EY. Henry Edger Kearrey was indicted for assaulting Union Astell, Esq. Chairman of the Directors of the East India Company, on the 13th of April last. Mr. ADAMS, the King's Counsel, stated the case of the prose cution. Mr. Astell and Mr. Lock were then called, and deposited to the HMG purport as stated in the police report a few days place. During the examination Lord Exi.zrinonouoti entered the Court. The defendant stated that he had delivered a brief to a gentleman of the bar, who had that morning returned it ; he therefore needed the in. dulgence of the Court, not being accustomed to its forms, having been a soldier all his life. The itEcoaDER assured him he should be protected, and the Learned Gentleman cross-examined Mr. Astell, who said that Lord Ellenborough had requested that a favourable consideration of the defendant's cue should be made ; but that neither that nobleman nor Lord Ashley had recommended a loan to him of 3:JOL Mr. Blakesley, 3lr. Alexander (of the London Tavern), and Mr. Sheppard, corroborated the testimony of Mr. Astell and Mr. Lock ; the latter stated that when the defendant was taken into cus tody, he lamented that his umbrella had broken, or he would bsve given Mr. Astell " a good thrashing." The prisoner entered upon a long defence, in which he stated that he had been employed in the whole of the Burmese war, and had the charge of the Comp's stores, and he brought home testimo nials from Sir Archibald Campbell, an and oriters,which he (defendant) transmitted to Lord .Ellenborough. (The defendant here read the certificate signed by Sir Archibald.) Since that he had been much neglected and injured; and he had nothing to plead in mitigation but his long services and the irritation of his mind. The RECORDER summed up the evidence,and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The COURT sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned in the Compter for six calendar months. PARISII MATTERS.—The committee appointed at general meeting of the parishioners, held in the vestry room of St. Clement Danes, on the 21st January last, for the purpose of promoting a subscription for the relief of the distressed poor, at tho conclusion of their labours, presented the following report :—En pursuance of the di rections the meeting, the committee made applicaticn from house to house throughout the parish, for- the con tributions of the inhabitants, which had been promptly and liberally met by most of the respectable individuals and public bodies in the parish, having the means within their power. The whole amount of such collections and subscriptions, paid into the bankers on account of the treasurer, was 4231. Os, Id. in the distribution of which your committee rendered important relief to a great num ber of families in the most distressing and necessitous circumstances, during the late inclement season. The number of poor families visited and relieved by the visit ing members of the committee, amount to upwards of 1300, comprising not fewer than 4000 individuals ; among whom they distributed 2791 bushels of coals -3705 loaves of bread-59541b5. of potatoes-1811b.. of rice, oatmeal, &c.-417 blankets-503 yards of flannel —23 pairs of shoes, and 25 pairs of stockings. The distribution of these articles took place at different times, extending over a period of several weeks, and only at the dwellings of the recipients, most of whom were visited three, and many of them four or five times ; and although among so great a nitirber of families, some f ew i nstances, no doubt, occurred, where imposition has been practised, and improper persons relieved, yet a great and important benefit has been rendered to a large number of deserving persons, at a period of.unusual distress, and has by them been most gratefully acknowledged. PEMBROKESHIRE GREAT SESSIONS. BREACH OF Priarg - 17:0F MARRIAGE. AMINE GairriTms, arixsTra, e. THOMAS WILLIAMS. The plaintiff, a young lady of considerable property and re spectable connections. resides in Solve. Defendant is or has been a Presbyterian Minister, and resides at Pembroke Dock. In Solve there is a chapel for Presbyterians, and defendant, as a Minister of the Gospel, was received by plaintiff and ber father as a guest. Shortly afterwards defendant went to reside at Pembroke Dock, from whence, early in 1825, he addressed to plaintiff the following letter :.. " P-t-r. " My dear young Lady--Since the auspicious moment of my introduction to you , your lovely image and your charming embraces have been impressed i upon my heart. All my future felicity, therefore, through life, depends on your smile. Deprived of your love. I must become a miserable outcast ; but should I pin your heart, then, indeed, I shall enjoy the raptures, such as are said to be the portion of angels. Yea, to gain your heart is an ob ject for which I would freely give worlds, were they possessed by me ; say then, my charming Anne, will you flatter me with the prospect of becoming mine ? let me hope you will conde scend to heal those wounds your numerous charms have inflicted on my devoted heart. When I thought that you would not be mine, hearing of others who were addressing you, I was tormented with ten thousand anxious doubts,:and under constant apprehensions that you might not love me ; but now my fears (perhaps I am deceived) are all removed, and, oh transporting thought! a few months hence, perhaps, PROVIDENCE will unite my charming object to the writer, who loves her dearly. When I left Solve on Tuesday last for my pursuit here, it was a hear-breaking job to part with you; how ever, dependents must endeavour to pursue their functions, and whatever my troubles may be, I ought to bow with all submission to the will of PROVIDENCE; for Gon e who made the wheels of nature turn from the epoch of creation until the present day, knows what is most proper for me and you. It is this confidence which supports me under the affliction of my absence from you. Although lam living with an excellent family, as I told you before, and experience every attention which is in their power to show me, yet, being destitute of your company, I am still un satisfied ; but the anticipation of the period in which we shall know one another more perfectly, this moment ele vates my mind to the extreme of happiness ; and I hope, my be loved maid, that our union (if it will take place) will render our life a continuing scene of bliss and comfort. The very mention of your name animates my breast, and the very thought of our mar rage-day consoles my heart. Indeed, my dear friend, Mrs. Mor ris spends a vast deal of her time to the praise of you, my beloved. Need I add, that I never interrupt her on a subject so truly conge. nial to my heart? Now, lam apt to infer that lam more highly blessed than ever man was before in the possession of such a friend as Mrs. Morris, and such an intended as you. Deem not, my dearest of all, that I did condescend to employ flattery in this ad dress of mine, for I perfectly know that your own excellent under standing would condemn it ; neither will I attempt to draw any romantic picture of conjugal happiness : you arc aware of what may be expected from me—a man, I trust, of liberal ideas, who is ten derly devoted to you. I now must conclude. " I am yours, with respect and love, " THOS. WILLIAMS." Defendant's correspondence with the young lady became mote general. In October, 1820, plaintiff went on a visit to her cousin, who resided at Pembroke Dock. Defendant met her there, and on the night previous to her departure, they at up after the inmates of the house had retired to rest, on the 16th of that month. Urged by , 1 the soothing language of a lover, and one who had been so ardently attached to her, she fell a victim to defendant, and she gave birth to a daughter. The plaintiff returned home the day after her dis. honour, and after a week she received the following letter from de fendant z " Pembroke Dock, Oct. 23, 1828. " MY DEAR, DEAR ANNE —I was glad to receive your letter informing me that you arrived iafe. I must ray that I felt uncom monly when I left. It is impossible that we should feel happy now, when separated from each other. I hope the time is not far distant when we shall realise the union intended. I hope that you are better by this time. Have the goodness to take care of yourself, and be not negligent, that you may have ground to receive the seed which you told me you wanted in the garden in the spring. I hope I shall be able to come to the Al issionary Meeting. Please to accept my sincere love. Anne is waiting; I cannot write much. GOD be with you. Think of me and of getting married. " I remain yours, trul, " THO M AS WI LLIAMS." The plaintiff, conscious of her dishonour, urged defendant to make her speedily the only reparation it was in his power to bestow, and to procure a ring for their union. Unable to resist the entreaty, he went out and purchased one, which was delivered to her, but no time was fixed on for the marriage being solemnized, but it was per. fectly understood that its solemnization would speedily follow. On the return of plaintiff to Solve, she was visited by the hand of Pro vidence with a severe fever, which confined her to her room for four months. The medical gentleman who attended her pronounced her complaint to be dropsical, and the means used in cases of that na ture were resorted to. Defendant visited her in her illness, and wrote her several letters ; but the whole evinced a degree of coldness scarcely to be anticipated from the warm and feeling manner in which he had previously expressed himself. In April last, under the appre. henrion of immediate death, and unconscious of her real situation, from the baffling influence of the complaint pronounced by the doctors, she wrote, at the instance of defendant, a letter, expressing her entire concurrence to his marrying another, as it would be use less for her, in her extreme illness, to calculate upon a marriage with him. Her fear", however, were removed, and in a week afterwards the defendant came to her, and was informed by her of her preg nancy. He replied that his prospects in the church were blighted, and unless plaintiff would accede to the proposition he then made, his ruin was evident. He urged het to write to him another letter, in which she would release him Prom his former enFagements, and deny the fact of her pregnancy to avoid the imputation of his being the father of her child ; but to calm her fearful apprehensions as to his sincerity, he, in presence of her girl, avowed his intention of marrying her. The letter was written by her, and on July 11 she was confined of a female child. Plaintiff; refusing to disclose the name of the father of her child, was discountenanced by her friends and relations, threatened with being turned out of her parents' do. micile, and, fearful of the consequence, wrote to defendant, stating her situation, and begging his advice. The following letter was received : " Fishguard, July 17, 1029. "MT DEAR Farzwp—The best advice I can give you is to keep the utmost secrecy. None can force you to say anything or swear, when a month is elapsed, and you have no need for it. It will be better for you and the person you mentioned ; for, if you say anything about him, his muter, who is a great person, will turn him out of employ, and then, as I understand, he will have nothing to live upon, and his friends and fellow.workinen will despise him for ever ; and, ram than this, it will give a mortal blow. Think of the consequence. Remember that suspicion will not do in any way—nothing but facts and plain evidences—so that you can pre vent all ; and it appears to that person that it is the only way under such circumstances. Don't you write to your friend, nor say any. thing, but be strange to hint ; it will be better after this. I send this letter from Fishguard to be posted at Haverfordwcst, to prevent any suspicion from this part. 1 will not write my name, lest this should not come safe to hand. Your friend sends his love to you, in hopes you will do well after this; " de fendant married in December last a Afiss Thomas, and on hs mar. riage being communicated to plaintiff, her feelings must have been seen to be described ; then, and not till then, did she disclose the fact of the defendant being her seducer, and the father of her child. Admissions of defendant's having written several letters, and of his marriage, were put in and read. Evidence was adduced in support of plaintiff's case, frum which it appeared that she had some for tune—that defendant had none ; that she was 30 years of age, and defendant 25. Mr. Jones, for the defendant, called witnesses to prove that plaintiff had released his client from the promise; in proof of which he read several letters. Mr. Justice Goulburn summed up. The Jury retired, and in a quarter of an hour re.' turned a verdict for plaintif—Damages, 200/. and, on being ques tioned by his Lordship, replied they were satisfied that the defend dant wrote the letter of the 17th July, and that he was the father of the child. FATAL ACCIDENT.—A boy, named John Lowry, aged twelve years, an apprentice, belonging to the /Bolus, Cap tain Harvey, a collier of North Shields, lying off Bell Wharf stairs, Shadwell, was drowned on Tuesday after noon in the river Thames. T.ie body cf the deceased has not since been found. At an early hour on Monday morning the neighbour hood of Off-alley, Hungerford-market, was alarmed by a man having jumped out of a second-floor window into the court. It appears that the unfortunate man, whose name is Stephen Morley, a shoemaker, living near 'l'cmple-bar, had for some days previous shown symptoms of derange n►ent, and on the Saturday previous had attempted to hang himself, in which design he was fortunately pre vented. On Sunday evening he went to the house of one of his shopmates in Off-alley, and expressed a desire to sleep there, which was granted. The unfortunate man was conveyed to the Westminster-hospital dreadfully injured ; but, what is most remarkable, not a single bone was fractured. He soon became in a raving state of madness, and it was found necessary to confine him in a strait waistcoat. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. CABRIOLET DRlTERS.—Y4;tetTa;tie driver of a cabriolet ap. peered upon summons, to answer the complaint of air RICHARD Btawrz, for driving furiously along the street, so as to endanger his (Sir Richard's) life. Sir RICHARD stated, that he was passing the corner of a street when the defendant came driving along at a furious rate, and in spite of being called to slacken his pace, he drove on, and witness had great difficulty in saving himself from being run over. The driver made a most humble apology, and begged Sir Richard would forgive him for the sake of a wife and large family. Sir R. /Lamm said he had no wish but to protect the public, and If Mr. Halls would let the defendant off with the payment of costs, he had no desire to press the charge. The defendant was then discharged with a severe admonition as to his future conduct. MA ALBOROUGH -STREET. Amelia Anderson, apparently about sixteen years of age, was yes. terday placed at the bar, before H. M. Roz, Esq. charged with th e following daring robbery : It appeared that the prisoner went on Tuesday evening to lee her mother, who resides in Carnaby-street, and after leaving the span. mentor occupied by her parent, she opened the staircase window, crawled over the leads, and entered the first floor window, where sh e forced open some drawers, and stole half a dozen silver spoons, a silver hunting watch, and several articles of plate belonging to Miss Harris. She was about returning across the leads when she was sp. Fehended, and on being searched by Clements, an Inspector of Police at the Station, the articles were found on her person. The prisoner declined saying any thing in her defence, and she was fully committed for trial. John Ryland, an athletic fellow, having the appearabes of a groom, was brought up charged with violently assaulting the officers, and creating a disturbance at Viscount 3laynard's entertainment. Ballad, an officer of this establishment, stated that himself and other officers were in attendance in Grosvenor-square, during the entertainment given by the above-mentioned nobleman. He ob. served the prisoner interfering with all the servarts who were in at. tendance with the carriages, and provoking them to fight, and about half.past two in the morning he saw the prisoner strike a lad who was passing quietly, with so much force that he fell between the carriage wheels. A person who was standing by remonstrated with him upon the violence of his conduct, when he struck him also. Ballad, who had entreated him to go home two or three times, thin went up to him, and the prisoner immediately closed with him; but the timely assistance of Schofield put an end to the conflict, and he was literally dragged to the watch-house. Mr. DYER inquired what the prisoner had to say ? The defendant replied that he had drank too much beer. Mr. DYER remarked that drunkenness could not protect a man after such improper conduct. He must pay a fine of 10s. or be tom. mitted for 14 days in default. HATT' ►N-GARDEN. SELT-ACCUSATION Or MUILDER--Yestertlay morning a fe. male named Sarah Elizabeth li* ennsurs was brought before Mr. Roozas, by police-officer 43 11. The officer stated that on the preceding evening lie taw the pri. boner in llagnigge 'Wells road, with sonic other women ; she was telling the women she had drowned her son, and she intended to go and drown herself In the same pond. Witr.ess went to her, and site persisted in saying she had drowned her son, but would not tell where the pond was. Witness took her into custody. The muter of the boy, a chimney-sweeper, named Johnson, de. E that the boy went away with his mother on 3londay evening zdand he had not seen him since ; the boy ought to sleep in his house every night. The boy was about eight years of age, and of diminutive stature. The prisoner gave a rambling account of her haring been u. 'suited by another woman, and on the previous night she did no: know what she had said to the police. Her son was in the City.road. Mr. Hussain, the inspector, Laid he had sent an officer to the address the prisoner had given, in the City-road, but they knew nothing of the boy ; the officer had then made inquiries all over the City.road, but could gain no tidings of him. The ➢lagistrate ordered the prisoner to be removed and lucked up. and directed the officer to make farther inquiries. WORSHIP-STREET. Monday night, about ten o'clock, thi unfortunate 11Irs. Sloan ap plied to Mr. BROUGHTON for advice under the following circum stancev: She stated that she was the mother of five children by Mr. Sloan, two of whom were now living with her husband, Mr. Sloan ; the eldest, a fine boy thirteen years of age, the other six years; she had not been permitted to see either of them for two years, and she understood that the youngest was now In an ill state of health. She had frequently applied to Mr. Sloan to be allowed to use them, but was invariably refused, and treated with the greatest insolence; she bad endeavoured to tooth him by every persuasive means, but to no purpose ; his cruelty to. wards her made her fearful of making any further application with out some person being present to protect her, and particularly after the late proceedings at this office, during which his ill usage to her had been so publicly exposed. Mr. BROUGHTON said she was certainly a very injured woman, and he would be most happy to render her every assistance in his power ; under any circumstances, he thought a mother ought not to be deprived of seeing her children ; it was an act of extreme cruelty, and he hoped, by a proper representation of the case, that Mr. 'Slam would not persevere in his refusal. Mrs. Sloan (in tears)---ifh! sir, i have no hopes without magis terial assistance. I do not want to take away my children from him, I only want one sight of them, it is not an unjust request; and if it were, surely a mother's feelings might plead a sufficient excuse. Mr. BROUGHTON—Are the children at his residence in Noble. street, or in Argyle-street ? Mrs. Sloan-1 believe they are in Argyle -street. and I should have applied to a magistrate in that district, but did not like to dc so without first consulting you, Sir, who have already espoused in, unfortunate MC so warmly. Mr. BaouGHTox—lf you think proper to apply to any other magistrate, I can certainly have no objection ; but I cannot attempt to promise what success you will meet with. I: is a point of law which magistrates arc not accustomed to interf. ; but there will be no harm In your trying : it will at least afFer( l you satisfaction. In the mean time, I would endeavour to win yi,Lr husband, for such I must still call him, by persuasion, to let you si .•s our children. Mrs. Sloan thanked Mr. Broughton for his kindness, and retired. BIRTH. On the 11th Inst. the lady of John J;f1;::: . et, Exq. of a son and heir. MARRIED. On the 27th inst. at St. James's church, R.
