His friends, rather in judiciously as the event proves, designed that his Lordship should make a triumphal entry in Stockton; and therefore, in order to give due eclat to so im portant an epoch, a number of persons were engaged to take the horses from his Lordship's carriage and draw him into the town. Besides this, his Lord ship's tenants were instructed to meet him at Thorpe, and escort him to Wynyard; and many, we understand, were obliged to come a considerable distance fior that purpose. By these means it was doubtless hoped and expect( d that an appearance of popularity would surround his Lordship, at least, fin• the day. It is also reasonable to suppose that local agents, who have been for some time past most actively occupied in endeavouring to promote his lordship's electioneering interests, had flattered bin into a belief that he would experience a similar reception on this occasion to that which he met with two or three years ago, when he came to take pos. session of the large estates which he acquired by reason of his marriage with Lady Frances Vane Tonpest. But if such an anticipation was indulged, the result demonstrates that it was not founded on the most accurate calculation. When his Lordship, us we are informed, arrived at Stockton. the horses were certainly takm from the carriage, which was drawn by persons, who, we have already stated, were hired, to Rubinson's; but instead of unanimous acclamations of welcome, his Lordship was assailed by a din of sounds that could not have been the most mtuieul to his ears, among which " The Qin en," " 'the Queen ;" " Is Majoechi with you ?" " Down to the Tees," &e., were plainly distinguish able. His Lordship addressed she populace from the inns, and in the course of his speech held up his infant child in his arms, connecting the act with allusion to the late Sir Henry Vane; but the tenor of his Lordship's speech we have not heard. His Lordship gave the populace 20 guineas to drink.— It having been expected that he would be •drawn through the town, the horses had been sent some distance forward; but either the two-legged sub stitutes for these useful animals grew tired of their job and declined dragg his Lordship further, or else his Lordship thought it best to terminate some what suddenly his :riumphal exhibition, by ordering the horses to he sent tot back and immediately re harnessed the vehicle ; which being done, it was driven off at full stv::•d. We are told that Lady Stewart was so alarmed at the rudeness displayed by the populace that she His Lordship's tenants, who were marshalled in a body, we believe, under Mr. Ilawkes, one of his Lordship's principal agents at Thorpe, on seeing the carriage gave three divers, and accompanied it to W'ynytusl. When his Lortkilip lust visited this county he was every where hailed with acchunathms of joy. So different u re ception now will probably make an impression on his Lordship's mind; and he might employ himself less useffilly 'ban in re fleeting upon the fact, and en deavouring to ascertain the cause. THE NATIONAL RE(4ISTEU Oszt,e 2ntelltgente. CARLILE. BREACH OF PROMISE OF DIA RRIAGE.TIIOIIPSON V. Serrastaaa I.—So great was the anxiety to hear this trial, that from eight in the morning till Iwo in the afternon, the Cum t was excessively crowded, while the merest quest taint of abstract right a liich a Dandy Dinmont could twists to liti gate were discussed. At length TI loon and 'Bemire WaS aimounced, and the Jury was sworn. Mr. Tindull opened the pleadings in the usual form. Mr. Brougham.—You have heard from my teamed friend, who opened the pkndings generally, what the nature of this action W. It :slam my slaty to strut the circumstances which have it birth. Miss Sarah Thompson is the daughtts of a very respectable man, a Mr. Thompson, is ho lives nut far frosii this place, and near Scothy. In ISO the defendant lweanie intimately acquainted in Mr. Thompson's family.— NI is, Thompson is a young lady of considerable personal ;re • complishinents. An intimacy' hegira to be formed between her and the def.-I.llmo, and in course of one or two years it became manifest to her father. It naturally soon became much talked of in the neighbourhood. They because was may attached, and the rieigubours considered them as about to heroine man and w ife. The parent then began to feel w hat was perfectly natural but what lie cannot lie blamed for not having expressed before, ass /satiety to know whether his daughter was fairly dealt with. Ile asked Mr. Blumire, the defeuilant, what w. re his imentions ? His answer was per. firefly natural—" If eve, lie married any person, he would marry his daughter." Mr. Thompson considered it his duty to put the same question again. lie promised distinctly to make Miss Thompson his wife. Now, gentlemen, there is out the slightest pretence for insinuating the slightest impu tation Oil bliss Thompson's character, or for laminating that she leis done ally thing unworthy of the purest female deli cacy, or what would reduce in any degree the damages which I now claim. Centlenieu, I meals to say in plain ter ale that she did not what would now greatly diminish herchins—abandon her virtue in her iiitercouise with her Daring the, life of Mr. lilansire's father, it might be thought wow/trident for the marriage to take place; but some tiine:ialterwarils the declared lover was again asked w hillier he meant to fulfill his engagement, and he repealed Isis warmest love mid attachasent for Miss Thompson.— But he had in Ilie course of time shown, what his letters to the plaintiff' indicated, a feeling for himself which occasioned the breach of Iris pronii.e, mill caused the present action. Oilier views opened upon him, and he nitrified smoother lady, a Miss Oliver, a lady of large prevent fortune, and larger ex pectations. In Assiut lit' character and respectability Miss Tii icon , to vi I lie had vowed the strongest attachment, and whom lw afterwards abandoned because she was tars rior in fin lone. The defendant had removed on a tour, or excur sion of business to Northumberland, and there he wrote a letter, lated from Newcastle, in which, in the usual way, he exereses the evils of absence, his impatience to see Miss Thom; ~,, Asc. " My dearest Sarah, I have embraced the earliest opportunity sir writing a few lines. I don't like Newcastle so well as I did. I should be much happier with you, my dear Sarah." There w ere two or three other objects al!ialed to al the letter, one was au object always of a great deal of attention with him, namely, Isis horse.—( A loud laugh).—" I am afraid it is ill be Saturday night before w ill gel fe n ce, as the. horse dots nut roil for the cap, but for the maiden plcte am l's ,day.—(ltepeated burst of laughter.) I wish I was hack to yon again, my dear Sarah, as tittle are none on earth I love but you. I remain. dearest Sarah, y - ourallectionute lover, E. lilamire." A day or two after lie writes another letter, in which he says,—" 1 have been very ill, and last night I thought I should have died." llere as it were, with all the solemnity of a death-bed, he declares the warmth and unalterable at dour of his 1111 . CC 1 iI3II and attachment. " Armstrong has behaved himself very well; he is very ill al-u•"—(Loud laughter.)—Next there is this expiession—" I I imik (lit, hone will not run at all this week, as he has fallen 's." So you 64`C, the horse, like Mr. Armstrong, did very well, and fell ill also —( All uproar of laughter.)—'Lehr love letter gees on—" Sully is turned as pretty as littl • Boise us ever 1 sass." This, I suppose Is some horse or mare that he thinks very pretty ; but no, gentle men, I fled lam mistaken. In billll t, gentlemen, I used only say that this lover us horses professes himself" sick of New ensile raves." Ile roucludes by saying, " Believe me, my dearest, to tor yours, and none but you's while I have Isle, Blismitr." to this declaration, gentlemen, Miss Oliver was excepted ; but Bra was a mental reservation. Gentle men, yon see that his mailer passim,. as appears from his kiwis, or as lir iepresents, I case not which, is his love for Miss Thompsou.

" My DFARESI SARAH.—I have this moment received your dear letter, which made me very happy to hear you were well, lam getting fat with London. But I think I won't get much fatter, as we leave on Monday evening, and come directly by the mail; so we will be in Carlisle on Wednesday afternoon if all be well, therefore you will not have time to answer this. I have just received a let ter from my sister; she mentions the death of the doctor of the 15th Hussars. I was very sorry to hear it. The evening before I left Carlisle he was playing at billards in good health. This is au uncertain world, therefore we should take care of ourselves. Mary says Jemiena John son is married, so nobody need despair. I was at Covent Garden on Wednesday night, and saw the new tragedy of Evadne, the part of Evadne by Miss O'Neil, support. ed by Messrs. Macready, Young, Charles Kemble, and Abbot ; it is a beautiful thing; Macready was the greatest by far. lam just going now to Richard Thomson's office, it is within three minutes walk of your aunt's; James Connel is in town, but I have not seem him yet.

Mr. Scarlett.—What ! is it all done? lam very sorry there is no more of it. There arc worse verses made about Carlisle. The Rev. J. lleyshani mars led the defendant and Dliss Hannah Oliver in November last. Mrs. Oliver was called, but not appearing, Mr. Brougham said he did not pen it. This was his cast'. Mr. Scarlett.—l know not whether I shall be able to keep up the lone of merriment and ridicule which my learned friend very judiciously introduced into this cause. Not only are love letters in their very nature ridiculous, but this cause is of a character which could not be 111411• tioued to you with affected gravity. Even Mr. Brougham discovered that the letters betrayed a greater passion for the horse than the lady. Women at a certain age are really older and discreeter than men. They know at In what we discover much later. Nature, that has accom plished them in all things, has given them this advantage too ; and Ails!' 'Thompson must have said to her sister, " Look at that ridiculous buy, lie thinks himself in love, but he is 1111101 101Ider of his horse." But what injury has she sustained i is she pining ? I dare say she is as hand some as she was before. No promise has been proved on her part, no expression has appeared to have escaped her. Dim bad lived unmarried to the age Witt, it appeals 110 complaint would have been made. It was never, there fore, deemed by themselves a promise of marriage : but treated, gentlemen, with levity or with gravity, you will nut think serious damages due. Mr. Justice Holroyil summed up at considerable length, and the Jury, without leaving the box, considered for ;i few minutes, and found a verdict tor the plaintiff—Da mages 1001. This verdict was evidently not expected ; but it gave general and high satisfaction. The Duke of Wellington, it is said, will join the King on the Continent, and after assisting at his Majesty's coronation, will accompany his Itoyul mater to Park and thowe to England. f
