LOVID. This cue of breach of promise of marriage was set• down the first thinq this morning, but Mr.Ni'alford on - coming into Court, intimated that it was requeeted the • trial might stand over, as the patties were not ready to goon with it. CURTIS C. ratan:, anorak AND °THAR/. • This was an action brought by the e laiotitf, who is a shoemaker residingin Hosier lane, Smithfield, to recover compensation by damages for tbe injury he had ssistaioed in consequence of the defendants' forcibly entering his house, ill treating him, and seizing his goods for rent alleged to be doe to the defendant Fairfax. The defend ants pleaded a justification, excepting Shute,: who was a constable, and he pleaded the genteel issue. The plaintiff's Counsel were, the Souctroatismanaa and Mr. Aaaartale. The defeodaate were the Cesium, Saimaa:yr, Mr. BROUGNAM, Mr. TYNDALL. and Mr. WILDS. • On behalf of the plaintiff, it appeared that be bad been a tenant of the house in question six or seven years ; that he bad been in the habit of paying his rent to the Re aim of Rents for St. Bartholomew's Hospital, to which the house was belonging, and that on the 13d of last December, the defendants entered his dwelling and ill-treated him, and his wife (who had since died,) and his son, a boy of about 12 years of age ; that they. succeeded in carrying off all his household furniture, for the alleged rent • and that he had never bad either the money or his go ods restored to him again. For the defendants, it was proved - that Fairfax, who was the landlord of the Hone and Groom public-house, situated in the same lane, and also belonging to the Hos pital, bad agreed with the plaintiff for the house which he inhabited, until the public-house should be rebuilt; and that the plaintiff was to give bs. a week for some rooms which he there occupied ; and that when the rent became due, a ierson named Hart was employed by &- broker, at the de fendant Fairfax's instance, to seize the plaintiff's goods. Hart accordingly repaired to the house in question, and obtained peaceable entry; however, be had no sooner got into the house. and exhibited his att-• tbority, when the plaintiff began to beat him across, the l'back and shoulders with a boot-tree, which waslying. upon hie stall. Hart finding himself roughly treated, cried out for assistance, and Skater, a constable, with the other defendants, bearing the cry, ran to his aid. They had no sooner entered, than the plaintiff commenced the• same &twit upon them as he did upon' Hert: however,. they soon secured the plaintiff and carried off the goods. In addition to this, the plaintiff was proved to have ad mitted that be was Indebted to Fairfax for rent; bat that he would not pay him, and he alleged as a reason that Fairfax was in good circumstances, and could better af ford to lose it than fie could to pay. It was Asp shown that the plaintiff, in October, had said, he bad endeavour. ed to procure a place for his family at Islington, but had not succeeded, and that he was greatly obliged by Fair fax suffering him to remain in the hones at so reasonable a rats after he became the tenant. The Lorin Came JUSTICE, in summing up, told the Jury that the only question for their consideration was, abettor the plaintiff had become the tenant of. Fairfax or sot. if they were satisfied he had; then their verdict would be for the defendants, as it seemed, even from the plaintiffs own witness, that be had committed the first assault upon the person who bad called In the constable and other defen dants to his assistance. But if they /*Woad the plaintiff was not a tenant of Fairfax's, then their verdict roust be for the plaintiff, and their next consideration would be the amount of the damages. Supposing the defendants , had im properly entered the house, they bad been guilty of a con siderable outrage, and the Jary would decide what damages would compensate the ?Wolff for the loss of his goods; and the injury be bad sustaioed therefrom. The Jury deliberated a short time, and then found a ver dict for the plaintiff. —Damages, Zit. • OXFORD CIRCUIT.—ABINDon. JvTA 7. This day the Midsummer Assizes 'commenced here, before Mr. Justice PARK and Mr. Baron Huhhoca. Benjamin Millington stood capitally indicted fur hav ing, on the 2'2d of April last, at Compton Donde, felo. nionsly stolen a bay gelding, the property of Thomas Hayes, M.D. The prisoner is the son of a respectable fern" who lately held a farm tinder Lord Bolingbroke, 'paying reot 1,0001. per annum. He has for about three years been connected with a gang of horse-stealers, who bare in this, the. Western part of thi country, committed 'great depredations. The prisoner was tried for horse stealing at Gloucester,-about two yefri ago, and ras tamped an acquittal. The evidenen in the present case was conclusive. The horse was stolen on the 22d of April, and on the 234 the prisoner was apprehended at. gasthampstead (with the animal in his possession, completely knocked op with bard riding), by Gibbs, a constable, who suspected it was stolen. . The prisoner called no witnesses, and the Joey- . found him Guilty—.Decith. Aged 40. • " • POLICE. • Mesisiorc-nonet.s.—Mr. Mawby, one of the Overseer. of the parish of St. Mary at Hill, Billingsgate , attended to take the directions or advice f the Lord Mayor, as to the manner in which the'parisli shonld act with respect to some soldiers belonging to the. East India Company: The Overseer was attended by a soldier, who' with dith calty crawled into the justice room, the victim of beta labour and a bad climate. The facts stated Mere to the following effect :—Thewretehed object had bkeq recently _landed from the Phrenkx East Indiaman, in which he had been brought home from India, having served for eight years as a private in the Bombay European regicpent.- 1 His constitution was broken by the severities Ire under went, having been obliged to sleep under the guns at night, and having contracted a rheumatic affection,' which threatened a long series of miseries. He was in eonse lquence of his illness, discharged and sent borne. By tire rule of the service, those soldiers only who had served 14' years, or had been wounded, were allowed a pension ; and the poor soldier, having no claim of the kind, was pre sented with a few shillings, which were soon spent. Hav ing landed in the parish of St. 'Mary at Hill, he now claimed relief there. His settlement was in the country, and he had no legal claim in town, but had not the Over seers given him relief, lie must have inevitably perished. The parish were now anxious to know in what manner he was to be sent home, for he did not come within any known provisions. This case was by no means a singular one, for soldiers who had served in the Indies, and lost their constitutions in the Company's service, and who were, of course, of no further use, constantly landed at Billingsgate from the ,Gravesend boats, some wiki con trard knees, others with febrile complaints; many were carried to the shore in the arms of the sailors, and all were labouring under some of the disorders incidental to the climate, or the severity of the service. Those who si;ere enlisted in London, and sere not entitled by wonnds, or 14 years service to a pension, received only 3s 6.1. upon I sing discharged—stliose who were enlisted in the country received but about 17s. to convey them h o w, whilst the Irish soldiers were allowed but 245. to convey them to Iceland, and that sum was given to them at Holyl cad, without any provision being made to convey them thither to London. Of coarse such wretched pit tances to sick men on their landiog, after a long voyage, were immediately consumed, and the miserable objects came for relief to this parish. The overseers coed not let them die in the streets, and though there was no legel ob.igation to give relief, had felt themselves bound, from motives of common humanity, to infringe the •rek, for the violation of which -they were responsible. Frew, the °cm' er who were landed, and .the heavy mine of their deices. the !squish was.burdened moss seveseig, cu d the overseers DO longer considered themselvesinee4lo/ ~; tostiondeg the tenet. 'They, tberefores whiled to know .bow the poor objecia, wh o tales lads to- wait long ffis deezh, should he disposed of? The LORD MAYOR expressed his 'apprise at the Stile. Meat, and' upon a consultation, it appeared, that by all Act lately passed, he was deprived of the power of pass ing such objects to their parishes regularly. M. advised Mawby to make a statement of the case at the India House, and directed one of the Marshalmen to attend from himself, and ascertain whether any thing could be done on.the subject by the Company. Mr. M4wby, accompanied by Breed. the Marshallese; conveyed the Invalid to the Lodi' Hot it., where the rase Was stated. The answer he-received sea we nedersten I. that certain, rules were adopted with reglard to discharge' , It.bliers, which bad been strictly compiled with in tht pewee instance. It was the rule to give the marching allowance of the Ring's service (three -pence a mile) to convey those discharged to the place where they had en listed. This allowance had been gives to the applicant is the present case, and no further aid could be given. Under these circumstances Mr. Maltby took the invalid hack again to the workhouse. The course which the parish will take towards these objet • hu not yet been determined upon. Maahnonotent-exneet.—Denjainie Wails, a coach man in the service of Mr. De Kong, the son of 1.4.t.1 Henry Fitzgerald. was yesterday brought from St. George's watchbouse, charged with a desperate assault upon Plank, the chief officer of this establishment and thr-c others of bit assistant °thaws', Plank stated that he and his party were on duty the night before at the house of the Duke of Wellington, in Picadilly. when there wee a grand •route ; and from tbe' vast number of equipages that attended. they found the utmost di ffi culty to regulating and keel LI them im pro per order ;in which, however, they .had partly succeeded, when this coachman bade defiance to all their endeavours, and attempted to force his way' in at ti a wrong entrance gate ; and on the officers interfering to prevent him, he cat at them in a most •desperate manner mitk his whip, and endeavoured to excite other.coachmen to-follow his • etrample ; bat not content with tit's, he actually made sm vent attempts to drive his carriage our the officers ; and Plaek said that, at one time, the prisoner seeing him in a moat perilous situation, he backed his carriage and did all he possibly could to crush him between it and stonier, and he only escaped destruction by instantly stooping un der the bode of the other carriage. The prisoner also at tempted to drive over one of the Bow-street patrol, whom be knocked down, and the wheel of the carnage passed within co inch of his bead. Mier cutting and lashing the officers in this manner for a considerable time, he drove elf at full 'speed, and endeavoured to make his es cape, bet Plank dispatched some of his party jo pursuit, who succeeded in co.niog up with him in May-fair, and conveyed him to the watchhouse, after which they lodg ed the carriage and horses in the green-yard, the former having one of the springs broken by the furious driving. Tbe other officers and the Bow-street patrole fully cor roborated Plank's statement. The prisoner, in his defence, seemed•to consider him self perfectly justified in the conduct he pursued, and nisi ordered to procure good bail upon four different as saults, and to give the officers twenty-four , hours' notice of the bail. ft was stated that Mr. De nous had impress ed his entire satisfaction, st the conduct of the caws.

I.IIIOETR•STRIcBT.—Iit Will be recollected that a short time since an affray took place, la which several Lascars were severely injured, and taken to the London Hospital. Monday night,- between eight and.nine o'clock, a repetition of the disturbance took place, and the neighbourhood of Cornwall-sfreet, Whitechapel, was thrown into the utmost stets of alarm, a number of these seamen, divided info two beidies, having engaged in a terrific coolict,-armed• with the most de4dly weapons, 26 of theta were secured at the great hazard of the lives of the peace-o ffi cers mud inhabitants, and lodged in Wkiteohapel'watob-house ; they werefiester. day moruing brought, molly of them womaded, before the. Sitting Magistrate oT this office, Matthew Wyatt and John Hardwicke, l sgrs., and Major Hetherington. • Mr. Hole, master of the barracks, in which a greet part of these seams ere kept till their return to their own eoan try, slated to the Magistrates, that these feuds arose from the thefts practised on each other. Four chests had been Tecovered, stated to have been taken from the men in 'the barracks by the others. In one chest, afterwards brought in, riblinderbuss, two bottles of powder, and a quantity of shot were discovered. Monday night the attack web rota- Dimmed by the men drill,/ out of the barracks, whose gleans of obtaining and conc, sling arms were greater the; .the rest. The parties were separated with great difficulty ; he, yesterday morning, went to the indii House on the subject, and learned that the Honourable Company had taken op the ship Buckinghamshire, to convey these men back to China, with orders to be in the Downs on the 14th instant. The. weapons, which were of the mos: murderous de scription, were produced. They consisted of knives two feet long, with sockets at the end, in which were inserted ash-poles eight feet or more In length ; swords similar to the Jibe swords; the handles so conStrneted ea to admit of their being joined or dovetailed so as to be wielded two at once; and large pieces of iron with holes for the hand. Six of the ringleaders, one with his nose severed, another with his face completely scarified, and the rest more or less wounded, were ordered to procure bail, and locked up in default ; the rest were liberated with the intention of con veying them on bopra Immediately. • Yesterday morning, u the Mitcham coach, was wait in v g for passengers in Charing-cross, the fo ur hoe. tank fright, and set off at full gallop through Whitehall ; their progteu was suddenly arrested opposite the Hors.. guards, by coming in codtact with the back of a cart load of hay, which the splinter-bar run against, after the leaders had cleared it. Fortunately no accident happen ed (except upsetting a horse and . gig, but without doing them any injury,) which is a miracle, considering the great traffic every day in Charing-cross. There were no passengers, either inside or out, nor.was the coachman on the box. On Monday night, the 30th ult. two inhuman mur ders were committed by Robert Scott, gamekeeper to Mr. Millie, of Mellesiain, on two persons, named John Aitchison and Robert Sim, as they were on their return ,from Earlston Fair. Scott, .who,it reruns had remedy quarrelled with one of them, on meeting them took u stake from the road side, and with one blow fractured Sim's scull; Aitchison immediately ran to his assistance, when Scott struck hint also on .the head with the same implement, and so dreadfully bruised them with reputed blow., that they both died the same night. Scott has since been committed to OreenlauGaol.(Neweasllechrous. DI! rIJ RBANCA AT PROME..—We regret exceedingly to hear that a miaunderstaoding has taken place between the clothitrs of Frome and the weevers, or rather that the latter have struck for an advance of wages. The Magistrates, the Rev. Mr. -al .slury and Captain Edeell, have acted with great forbearance; and it was not until every persuasion bad proved ineffectual, that they determined to compel those weavers who had work out to finish it; to enforce which they had recourse to the assistance of four .or five troops. of the North Somerset Yeomanry, ender the command of Colonel Homer, aed swore in nearly two hundred special constables.

SEWN', _Er+ at the FOX and Fiericb Horn, Clerkenwelf-green, on the body of MI, Joshes Cook, a respectable master tailor. From the evi dence it appeared, that on Friday last deceased went into theiVhite Horse, in• St. Jobt.'..•sireer, having previously bees at the Kings Arms, in Spa-fields. He had beezt hot a sbott•time in the White Horse, when he fell off his seat, an& soon afterwards was taken home in a senseless state. Mr. Titterton, a medical gentleman, was sent for, and• his opinion at first was, that some person bad at:- ministered something to hint in the beer, but afterwards übsi rving a more serious change, lie concluded it was apoplexy. Oa the following morning (Saturday) tb e . decease! dicd. Monday Mr. Tittcrton opened the bode, and on examining the stomach Le found a substance, which be produced, floating on the fluid in the stoma , and which he had no doubt was opium, and was the occa sion of his death; but a great quantity mast have been dissolved to have produced the effect. Tire person who bad drauk with the deceased at the White Horse, said he partook of the same porter as deceased, and it did not in the least affect him. The landlord of the King's Arms, Spa-fields, said, he did not recollect the demased coming there on Fridaylast.. The deceased's assistant proved that deceased AU a very reserved man, and of" late had laboured under souse degree of melancholy, but he had not observed the de ceased take any medicine. Verdict-4 That the death of the deceased was caused by a quantity of opium fount an the stomach, but they have received no evidence to prows bow it came there. ' Asether Inquest was aftdwards held at the above hese', before the same Coroner and Jury, on the Eody of . Amelia Copeland, a child aged 5 years. From the evidence, which was of a most heart-rending description, it appeared that the outlier of the deceas. it bed died, leaving her and two sisters depending tappets father for support; he resided in Frying-pan-alley, Clerkenwell, • most wretched place of abode; there lie became acquainted with a woman with whom he coha bited, •be promising to take care of his children, instead of which she beat them in a most barbarous nianner,and kept them without food ; this brutality was more parti cularly exercised towards the deceased, until death put an esti to her sufferings. The evidence not being strong enough to warrant a verdict of Murder, the Jury returned the following : " That the child died a natural death, but which was to all appearance accelerated by the gross neglect and inat tention of the father, aed inhuman treatment of the wt.- man with whom be cohabited. The Coroner directed a prosecution to be commence I against the woman for a misdemeanour. BIRTHS.—On Monday last, in lieroard•strcet, square, the Lady of Frederic Thesixer, Eq. of a daughter.
