kith)! and meguitude, What wits the measure of clasiseges which sties a Phsititiff. under such circum etass....4. would have a right to receive ? The injury the laity had received was of this description: that ittstrad of brisig, as she expected to user been, the wile of the Defendant fur life, with the fortune that "tie Defesidant pos,essetl, to have supported Ler and in; ;used her reek through life, she was 'still in a state of celibacy. It had been sui t rated that the marriage, if it had taken place. might have been the foutelat of usitripinness. Vow that ;object it was nut for the Jury to look forward Oil° the hook of hie, to deter • to whether it would ur would not Wye lwen a oilstone productive or They could look °illy to probabilities; I ro , l l f ing their ideas upoti that 'view. how lar lumpiness • was likely to have been toe result of such nit union, the probabilities were, that it would loser been attended with that Wattle felicity to be expected the 'terrine state. There was a great deal of els tference in cases of this' sort. If a woinan of moire OolvatiCed Age laid traps for a young 1111114,mnd drew him loth a 'frothier Of marriage, the young man might tiPerwurds receive the prudent advice and assistance of his kends, add withdraw from Ins promise. Where a change of d resulted from the accession or mi. vice Nod piudeuce;that circumstance had always 111min:shed the ciuseituin Or damages which he ought to pay. Where, ou this Other band, the connectiou oats brought about with t h e &auction of thrive prliitiliS to whom the young man ought to look, and it did not appear to have beets sought for by the woman, but was btooglit about by the frieude of the matt, thee the case assumed a very differeist usee..t. In this ease the Jury had been °wised of the ages or the different pieties. The young mists had lived occasionally at Liverpool, from 1310 till the present period, sod hr had dur tate that time frequent intercourse with the Plain. tilt's family. 1:i 1811 lie had a considerable Nieces eiuti of fortuuse, and was consequently known to be n person of great property, or, at least. that he would be so whets he cum.: of age. In the utonth Of February, 1817, there came all invitation, toot loins the piling omits himself, but bout a person alto, of all others . , was the limper person to give the invitation, and sativtiou the ei•it of the young utmost. It was an iimtatiuli proceeding from the:Defendant's umber. It was pouched iii terms of great kind. ucss tu the Plaintiff's ntother, soliciting the visit of her slaughter sod herself. It wits tuldressed to the mother at her residence at Liverpuel. and entreated her tu 5p.3.11 a fortnight at litrklastd-hall, a alas. fiance of between 31) aunt 40 mile,. Whet would bc one of the probable consequences of a visit of this tirscr Minn ? Here was a young man just sir rived at :ft ; just master of hit fortune. though, pedalos, too sinister of his passions; that would be the period or life when lie would think of forming on establislimeut for life. It was under these cir custistativis the Plaintiff and her mother went to epend a furtnight at Kirkland-hel. It was not to be wierleted set. if, during the period of the visit, apportunitire weir glens to the young man mad wo man, and that there might he smile thoughts on the siobject of love. It had. iu fact, transpired that such had been the case. If it had appeared that the mother and daughter had contrived so interview of the kind, to entrap tie affectious of Ilse young man, that wouhl have funned a case out which the world not have been entitled to mate rial damages. After the first invitation there came 'a second; the first had not been accepted. lie thought ' lie might woke the observation, that there did not swells to be any eztraordinary haste on the pert of the another to go to Kirkland-hall. 'Clete then came N it. ennui invitation, and she mod the Plaintiff weist to the Defendant** innusion, and remained fair e *nine tints. After their return, namely, on the Jodi, the letter was written which the Jury had beard read. It was a letter which had been very properly chino terised ; it was not filled aith the alum txpressions of a young man over head and nos it, lure, hut it was a cool, considerate, calculat ing letter, sits a subject which the writer was revole e.; its Isii mint , . No doubt it was the letter of a mast to a woman older than himself. He would put it to the Jury whether such a letter was teat 1,!,:e1y to .oaken stronger impression oat a young woman than if it had contained all the expressions wirittih usually dictated by the beat and hive ttso•ity of youth. It seemed to be the letter of u Maus with an understandiug beyond his years. Such the hearing which the letter appeared to lain to warrant, and the Jury would ti.ke it into their constilegoitm.• There was an expression made use of by the Defendant, to the elfict, that he ought not to be called upon to make a settlement, from which Scatett had inferred that the Plaintiff's mo ther had called upon him to make a tettlement upon lair daughter. He did nut think such an inference necessarily followed. The Defendant, addressing the lady, might naturally ssy—" You are about to be tnattied ; your friends will naturally think there should be a settlement, considering my situation in point of fortune; but I am told by my legal ailet.ets that 1 imagist not to be called upon to make is settlement." The rapresition did not RMS. airily imply that a settlement bad been a subject of conserrasiosi by the mother. To this letter an answer had been wiitteu by the Plaintiff, by no means an improper letter ; it was couched iu prudent items, accepting the Drfemlaut's offer. It was suggested that the Plaintiff hed kept • copy of that letter, but if she had, it was not a Eirealw.tance oil which any sties* could be laid. Same prr•olla were in the habit of writitig yew letters s.upi.lly ; some were not :persons of the latter dest:tip ' might chose to write a rough copy. The•Plaiiitiff might have done so, and she alight iii;erastds have treasured it up without hav ing any view to her ultimate disappoiettnetit, or of her laying under the necessity of coming to a Court of Justice to ask for damages. There (sad beets a subsequent correspundeuce, and in the mouth of illey the Plaiutilf was again nt the Defendant's boom:. Before that period there hid been an ex prow invitatieu to de PI • 'lf, but it raid nothing Oil the subject of the Platutiff's mother. It stated that the carriage should be at Preston, and that if the Plaintiff chose to bring her usaid , it alight be cleteroutsed whether she was liktly to be top ernveil uf. The Plaintiff had refused to attend to that invitation, and in his opinion she had door right. It w: s not the conduct of • woman thresh% her. self into the arms of is man; but it was the conduct of a wonum who had foresight, and who would nut ,In On insproslesit a thing as to go to the house even of her expected future husband, without the pre. sence and sauctiou of so near a relation as het mo ther; that was acting Witt: a becoming prudence. The advice of her brother on that subject was inset prudeut advice. and she rdupted it. It appetred she ufterwards we'd to Kirkland-hall, mud remained 'there a fortnight. On the 26th of May she return ed home. 'and on the Ist of June that letter was written, whirls, it appears, was the last communica tion frbin the Defendant to the Plaintiff. The first invitation had been given the beginning of Febru. tory; the parties met on the Ills March, rod were "together about a fortnight. Letters aud currespon denee had been proved, by which it was manifest the Defendent had profeseed all the warmth of of fecti 111 l ; it was quite obvious that he was primer ing for a speedy marriage. Why it had beets bruken off, the Jury were left entirely in doubt. Wits item any fault 'in the lady ? Nothing of the kind was insinuated. What had beets passing its the Defendant's mind they were not told—st anis a perfect 'blank. On the '2oth of August, the Defeudaet had married aurither lady, in come buence a which the present 'action had beets rought. It lied been suggested that actions of this kind by ladies wear very unessasmon. It some times happened that a lady might thiuk it better to stifle her disappeintritent, than make it • subject of discussiou ; but in r vise where it had beau quite notorious to the world, that a marriage was oil the eve of takisig 'dace, and that it had been broken off, a consideration of what was due to her own character might urge her tit bring it forward in a Court of Justice ; not only for the vindication of her honour and cliaukter. but that if there was any thing in her conduct which afforded a giound why the marriage should nut go 011. it might be declared, or that it might appear to the world there was nu foundation fur that calumny which was always the effect of a man's abrupt desertion of a lady to whom lie . was betrothed. He had time made the (Meows times which had occurred to him. The promise of marriage hail been clearly proved, and it was equally clear that the contract hail received the sanction of their mutual percent. The Jury would Estimate the damages to which the Plaintiff was emitted lir the injury elie had received. The in jury consisted in this, that instead of being Mrs. Cole, the gumtrees of Kirkland-hall. she was still Miss Orford. Whether elm would have beta' hap pier as the Defendant's wife, was a question they could not well take lute their consideration. How. ever he might be repreattittal, lie was the hue %suit bliss had lust, and it was fur the injury she had thereby sustained site desired a compeusa tiois. But for his tiejtistiliable conduct. he would have beret her husband and else his wife, with that splendid eatablidosneut the wife of a man of his fortune might be Aided to expect. He was a moo, according to the testimony of Ids steward, enjoying between 4 and 5,000/. * year : the Plaintiff would have been the wile of • suns with that fortune, and with that tetablishinetit which would have belonged to liar rank in society as his wife. These advantages slur had loft. If the Defendant was 11 man wit , ' was not likely to make a good husband. in that Calie the iiicutubralice of a bad husband was such a bitter cup. that perhaps she might have suss ailed no injury ; but let the Jury advert to the kiters, they would infaeru them what sort of u man the lady had lost. True they were not the letters of 1111 ardent lover, but they were the It tiers of a cool, celculating, discrimating understanding: the Jury would take them into their consideration. With regard to the Defendant, he stood in a very unfavourable poiut of view. He would have no right to cumplein if the Jury should drum largely on his bank. IVhat lied lie done? He had drawn a lady to Kirkland-hull, that she might see the establishment right to expert would shortly be her own. lie had gone on ainti,- ing her for is period of two months, under the ex. pectation that she was to be the mistress of his es tablishment ; and shell, without any reason, lie had married another warners. He would, therefore. have no right to complain, whatever damages might be awarded against him. With reference to the amount of the &triages, lie would only observe, that the Jury ought to be libeiul, rather than penurious. The Jury retired, and, resin ll ill g into Court in about a qiiarter of an hour. pronounced their verdict for the vidititetr.---Dtsista g ts--SEVEN THOUSAND bourns. This trial had been the subject of general con versation throughout the county of Lancaster for several mouths past, 1 penguin of all ranks appeared to be interested in the result. We do not remember any former occasion when the public cu riosity was wore excited. It may. therefore, easily be icuaioned what an immense concourse of midi tors would be pressing for admittance. Crowds were collected at every avenue, and the doors were scarcely thrown open, than the Court. spacious as it is, and capable of containing 2,000 persons, was instantly tilled. The ladies sere coutpicuous in all parts of the Court, having braved every danger to obtain admittance. The verdict. which bestowed so considerable en addition of fortune on the fair suitor. was hailed with universal satisfaction. On the subsequent morning Mr. ScAm.wri, moved for a rule to *hew curie why a new trial should not be granted. He submitted his applica tion on two grounds:—liit. That the letters coo. taioing the contract of marriage had not been duly stamped. as Its had conteuded ou the trial they ought to have been ; arid, secoudly, on the ground of excessive damages. It was upon the latter ground he principally relied. He ob served, that it was the first instance in any similar case, in which damages to such an enormous amount had been given. l ie contended that, under all the circumstances of the ewe, such very large damages ought not to have been sword ed : and lie enforced his ohiniou upon this point by refereure to the same topics of argument lie had addrerscd to the Jury, illustrating his rea sons by adverting to the case of a lady of mull, against whom oue thousand pounds damages had been given, and also the case of a Mr. Hunter, in which thedansages had been to theaminint of fifteen buudred pound*. He likewise contended that the case hail bean presented to a Jury, whose minds were nut in that dispasansuate state winch the lames ligatiou of such a subject required, and was neces sary fur the ends of justice; lie insisted there had been an unjust pr. judice created throughout the county against the Defendant, and this he inferred front the very extraordinary coucourse of potpie as sembled to wittiest the triali the circumstances of the case had been the subject of general discussion out of Court, and it was more than probable the Jury had not formed their conclusion with that cool esisl temperate reflection they were bound in all cures to exercise. Mr. Justice ßATLlM was of opinion that the ob jection of the Learned Counsel, as to the letter con taioiug the contract requiring a stamp, had nut the least validity. Upon the gisestion of excessive do assegai, he was likewise of opinion there bad nut been sufficient grounds laid before the Court to disturb the verdict. Taking all the eirctunstances of the. case into his conga ration, he was not pre pared to say, that if it hod been put to the option of the young holy to have received the Defendant es her husband its preference to the 7,0001. which had been awarded her, she would ,not have chosen to have accepted him rather than damages to that or any other amount. lf, then, it was likely Ilea she had the election, she might have preferred be coming his ail., how could lie state that the Jury had estintated the damages at a higher rate than they ought to have done. The rule fur a new trail was accordingly refused. HOME CIRCUIT. - KINGSTON ASSIZES. 11ATUNDAy, ATTU.. 4. Derid Owes, aged 50, a stout. mild, goad looking man, was tried under Lord Elleiaboronel.'s Act, for stabbing and cutting John Jones, at St. George's, in Southwark, on the t 6th of September hon. It was distinetly proved by molly witnesses, thin the Prisoner had gone to Mr. Joint's house be tween one and two o'clock, put his lout on the step at the door, and cut and seriously wounded Jones and several other persons with a clasp knife as they came to the door. He never spbke one word while he was acting so outrageously. He had previously arid lie ...min inurder.the whole fa•nily. The Prisoner, in his defence, said he knew no thing of what be had done. Several respectable witnesses gave it as their de cided opinion, that the Prisouer had not been in his senses. He bad a fever nine years before, and since then they thought hint. subject to melancholy and insanity. He used to walk, to shove his arms backwards and forward's, and to speak to himself like a madme'. His eyes had a wildness in them. He laughed, sung, and danced the night lie was committed to geol. The loss of h►s wife and of his property deranged Itir mi al. He frequently ea claimed, “.I.ord, Lord !" fie complained of pain iii his stomach.

The Jury. after some deliberation, found a ver. diet of (;uitiy. After a prow, flair Foreman re commeuiled him to mercy, iu coissideratiou of the respectable testimony borne to his character. The Judge immediately pronounced sentence of death, and assured the Prisoner t h at he could not reasoriably expect that the tee L, f the Jury would have any effect. %%Niers the Judge erns proceeding to pronounce sentence, two ladle-, friends of the Prisoner, screamed and roasted away. They *err carried out of Court. The Prisoner preserved the same unchanged look of composure throughout the trial, and when seritence was pro nuanced. There were two other indictments for felonious stabbing Margaret Jones and Mary Beery. in the same place, and on the saute oc..usioss, but they were not prosecuted. Peter lloreey,u patrole, was tried fur felaniously shooting► at Richard Richardson, a night -unit, on the 4th of September I:►at. It appeared that the deceased was at work at three o'clock in the inortntig. and having occasion to go into a neighbouriug rope-gr I for a pole to insist him in carrying the tubs, the Primmer, after repeated challenges, and receiving ito answer, allot him. Ile was acquitted. George Mills Margesoas was eharged with► having felostiuusly stabbed Jane Itost.forth, at Richmond, on the 423 d of September, with intent to kill her. The Prisoner is a midshipman, aged 17. Jnoe Ruslifortli. a very interesting young laity, said she bred at Richmond in Septenther last. On the i3d, about Ira-pest ate, the Prisoner came to her lodging. In the course of conversation h e a s k e d her whether a murdered person went to heaven ? 'She said it was a curious question, but she thought it more likely that the murdered person should go to heaven than the 'Hinderer. To divert his at. tesition front such a topic she said she felt unwell ; she hail hod a bad night's rest. Ile said hi would ensure her a good night's rest. He afterwards supped with her. After supper lie asked on which side her heart lay. Site replied, 'tutting her trend ou her left stile. " Here, you little fool." She looked at the watch, which hung over the mantle piece, and observing it war ten minutes after aisle, " Come, George, my dear, are you not going ?" He rose. rad placing his left hand over her left shoulder, stabbed her with a dirk ordagger, and with a laugh said, " I have done it." She rose and pulled the dagger from her aide, then sat down, stud fainted away.

It was with a Mr. Prevent. in s house at Essex, seven years ago; She believed he might be a clergyman who acted on the occasion.—(The witntos *hewed great reluctance, and requested to have those questions waived). She always went by the name of Prevost since, and Piped her name au. The young gentleman resides at Richmond. There was nu license fur the mar riage. She did not know whether the person alto performed the ceremony was a clergyman. She signed her maiden mane on this occasion, because she did mutt consider the marriage legal. Me.

Christian M'Cole lives at Richmond.—Coming home in the reciting, she heard the horrid cry of ' Murder !" from Mrs. Prevost's back door.— She went in, and saw the Prisoner and Mrs. Pre.. suet; she was falling down, and appeared lifeless. %Vitoria/a said, " Good God ! what have you done?" He said, 6' 1 have done it; I have stabbed her in the heart ; I won't run away ; I'll deliver myself up to justice." He then graved her hand and kissed her several times very affectionately. He stood very deliberately. Mary Watts went into Mrs. Prevost's room ; it was a sitting-room. She saw Mts. Prevost lifeless, and said " Good God, George ! what have you dime ?" Hr replied. ‘• I have murdered Mrs. Pre voat ; I intended to do it ; and I have done it." He did nut appear agitated. There was no appear ance out Mrs. Prevost's garments that attracted her attentioti. When she undressed her, she saw the cut in her gown, and stains of blood on the rest of her clothes. 11,1. ioad Humphreys went to Mr.. Prevost's in ecnoequeisce of the alarm. He asked what the tnaittr was. One pointed at the Prisoner, and said, a That Is-How has murdered Mrs. Prevost." Wit ness exclaimed, " 0 my God, how sorry I am !" Prisoner stretched his hand towards him, and said, " I am not sorry for it."—As lie was carrying him to the watch-house, he said, " I have done it in consequence of a letter I have had from Mrs. Pre vost's eervant maid." He was going to say more, when the witness said, " George, you have said too much, I don't want you to convict yourself."—He knew Min from a child. • He was brought up there. The clothes and daggor were produced. Philip Lugar, a surgeon, observed the wound on the left aide. It was u small punctured wound of a triangular shape, such as the instrument produced WOUIII have made. It did not appear to have pro ceeded beyond the integumentr. It was about three-fourths of im inch deep. She was ill more from the ►hock than the wound. The wound heal ed in rm. days. The hemorrhage was but trifling. The Prostentrie drew . out the instrument ; she thought it lake a tile. The Prisoner, in his defence, said, " My Lord. and Gentlemen of the Jury, it was lint aid• inten t to kill Mrs. Jane Prevoq, I meant only to frighten her.
