The advantaycs to Travellers who honour this coach with their preference are far superior to any other en this Road, as the "Royal Express" is driven throughout with 4 coach men'only (3 less than any other coach to Liverpool) —a sa ving to Passengers too evident to require COMmeat ; besides the additional adrantage, especially to commercial inter eats, of pet forming the journey in less time than any other coach ; and, notwithstanding its cheapness and expedition, the Proprietors pledge themselves that for safety and ac commodation it is equalled by few and skull be surpassed by none.. the titter impossibility of ail serious consideration of a man: riage. In order to make the action maintainable, lie was to satisfy. the Jury that a prom's's of marriage was made and ;bad beep broken. It would not he necessary to give express evidence of a formal promise in a given state of words, or of a formal breach of that promise, hut it would be sufficient to place the parties in such a situation as to justify the inference ' Of there having been such a promise, and of its having been broken. He was not driven to rely on that, and should prove, without the slightest possibility of doubt, that the promise had been broken. The question then would be. what satisfaction in damages should is.. given under the circumstances, and on that subject he had ',a state, that the object of Mr. Smith in bringing this action, was not to enrich himself, hut to justify himself from the imputation—which the Jury would stigmatise' as an unfounded imputation—which. if unanswered, or if a colour had been given to it by the plaintiff's forbearing to take', the part lie had been driven to against his inclination, would be followed, In-such a town as Cheltenham, under such a situation as that in which ha stood, under such representations as were *Weed in that place with his total annihilation. He wished 10 have it distinctly understood, that a large compensation in the nature of pecuniary damages, was not in the slightest de gree the object of this action. Having stated the condition of life is whit ) the parties were, he came next to the circum statutes motet which the intercourse took place. There had bean if coarse from the disparity in the condition of the par- Ves-sda disparity which, in all such places as Cheltenham. is eetedimpon abet regarded with peculiar jealouey, no previous intercourse between the family of Miss Colwell and the plain tiff. There was, perhaps, uo•possibility in such a place es Cheltenham, where even the amusements are appropriated to the different ranks in society, and the distinction is very sedu• lously observed, of Mr. Smith, by a voluntary act of his own, introducing himself into such a situation as neteke the oppor tunity of snaking advances towards Miss Coxwell. The ori gin of the transaction was therefore not to be imputed to Me. Smith, but to the lady herself, and in stating that he was with reluctance saying what his duty rendered necessary and impe rative. and whatever bad taste might be con4i iered as attribut able to the parties who brought this swim' into a Court of Jus tice, Mr. Smith wou:ii stand exculpated from that part et the charge. It would be understood that not the slightest bitten'. tine was intended to be thrown on the propriety of Miss Cox well's conduct, lie was complaining on behalf of a trades man who alleged that a lady of rank, in comparison to his station in society. had made him a proroiee of marriage, which she had broken, and he ought before he could ask for a verdict. to exculpate the plaintiff from the charge of having intruded himself and made without any encouragemen*, or having had an opportunity of being introduced, that sort of intercourse 'video led to the promise. Toe lady was resident is bar father's family; she was more than twenty-one years of age; if she was not, of course this action would not be Inelutainable ; but though resident in her father's family, and dependent ce his judg went and controul, she was still liable at law 14 the breach of promise, and which, if see thought fit afterwards spun better judgment, better consideration, and better feeling to break through ; yet, if the party to whom the promise had been made, was guilty of no impropriety so as to proziotle him from coming into a Court of Justice, she ought at least to have put au end to it in such a manner as not to subject him to basalt.

Mr. LUDLOW—The intercourse betas by a visit paid by the lady at tt.e plaindrs shop, in the early part of December last, either by accident or fancy. He was a young man of handsome person, and gentlemanly address. That might be his misfortune, but could not be his fault. In whatever man ner this might have operated on the lady's naiad, the visit was repeated again sad again ; and whether it was aromatic vine gar, or ginger lozenges, or whatever else she had omission for from a druggist's shop, Mr. Smith always had the honour of supplying her with these little articles. There were casual meetings in the street, and some sort of communication which is easily capable of being understood by those who are under the influence of the tender passion, by which the panes, with out speaking, could intimate they were not disagreeable to each other. On the 26th January arrived a note, the opening of the pleadings, which was followed by a second, containing the more enlarged statement of the circumstances under which the party made the address. This was followed by others.— Interviews afterwards took place In the kitchea of Mr. Cas well's house. It might be said, that if Mr. Smith intended to act properly, be should have made these things known and paid his addresses in the usual manner, but the peculiarity of Ida si tuatioi, with reference to this family, of itself, afforded en an swer to that objection. If Mr. Smith bad stood iii a situation of confidence, and been the tradesman employed by the family. and auditing himself of opportunities, had by his arts and ad dress, prevailed on the young lady to carry on a claatestine correspondence, he would then have acted improperly ; but it was a case liable to a different consideration, and of a different aspect, when it was found, that not until after repeated at tempts and assurances, and after doubts whether he was not under a dream and delusion with respect to what was passing before his eyes, was he at length prevailed on (for these things took away from mankind the power of acting as reasonable creatures), to embark in this cause, ant put himself in the boat with the young lady, leaving to her the guidance of the course to be steered. It was not to be ex pected if the young lady consented to point out a particu lar mode of clandestine intercourse; that he was to put that out of the question, and tell papa and mamma %shut was going on—that was not to be expected from a person in any station, whom she thought fit to distinguish by her regards. If the kitchen was sufficient for the lady to re ceive addresses in, it was good enough for Mr. Smith to go to. It had been said that what was written remained, and what was true in one ease was true in another. Ile did nor rely merely on the recollection of a chambermaid, who, however important she might be in theatrical representa tions, would make no figure in a Court of Justice, but he had documentary evidence, which the Jury would put their own interpretation upon. The first note on the 26th of January was in these words, " Should Mr. S. S. feel the slightest wish to be acquainted with Misa A. C. he may attend the next pnblic Ball which will take place to mor row week, at which time he can be introduced to her by' Mr. Marshall. Sunday eve aing." The answer was such as was quite consistent and proper with the station of the party, and with reference to the custom at a public place such as Cheltenham. Mr. Smith as a tradesman, was not admissible to the ball to which Miss Coxwell proposed he should go ; he could not have there presented himself, and been introduced by Mr. Marshall, and that was communicated on his part to the young lady, and three or four more of the meetings at the kitchen took place; and on the 4th of Feb. not many days after the receipt of the letter, probably after having received a letter from the plaintiff, written in answer to it, and a verbal co num- ' nication with respect to a walk to the village of Prestbury, came this letter, which it was necessary should be read. " t am this instant returned from a most unpleasant and dreary walk, and after whit I have heard, I cannot for a moment resist the impulse of my wretched heart, which impels use to write a few lines to my adored Strephon, as the only means of alleviating the sorrows with which it is overwhelmed. I sin, in feed, my dearest love, more than grieved at what I have just had the painful task of bearing." (I'be Learned Counsel said he was afraid he read love ktters very badly.)

SNITII V. COXIIIIIILL. Mr. LUDLOW said, that in this ease, he was Counsel for 'Ale. Stafford S.nith, who bad felt himself under the neces sity of bringinst this action against Miss Coxwell for a breach of promise of marriage. It was a case of extreme interest and importance to the gentleman he represented, and of a description to excite a great deal of public interest and public curiosity. Cases of this sort in which was a wilful breach of a deliberate promise of marriage, were of not very frequent occurrence, and when they did occur, it did not unfrequently happen that the good sense and feel ing of the parties interested induced them to refrain from having the unpleasant difference between them made the subject of discussion in a public Court of Justice, tle felt it incumbent on him on the present occasion from the pecu liarity of situation in which the parties stood, to offer a few observations before he stated the facts, because it was im possible not to know that in a case in which the parties stood as they did upon the present records, whatever degree of public interest or public feeling might be excited, it was a feeling and interest adverse to the party whom he bad the misfortune to represent. There would be no such feeling in the' ury box he was certain, but at the same time he felt he should not satisfy his own mind if he did n ut einT a satisfactory explanation for conduct on the part of the per son he represented, which we,, an I must be felt without ex planation to he of a Character which would excite public interest and fe.ling. against him.
