[The following appeared in our Third and Fourth powers to my subjects resident in the colonies, is Editions of last night:—] always to me an object of deep interest; and I PROROGArrION trust that the representative institutions which, in concert wish you, I have sanctioned for New Zealand, may promote the w elfare and contentment of the population of that distant but most in teresting colony, and c onfirm their loyalty and attachment to m y C ro wn. It is my intention, without delay, to dissolve this present Parliament, and it is my earnest prayer, that in the exercise of the high func tions which according to our free Constitution will devolve upon the several constituencies, they may be directed by an all-wise Providence to the selection of representatives, whose wisdom and patriotism may aid me in my unceasing endeavours to sustain the honour and dignity of my Crown, to uphold the Protestant institutions of the country, a nd the civil and religious liberty, which is their natural result ; to extend and improve the National Education ; to develope and encourage Industry, Art, and Science ; and to elevate the moral and social condition, and thereby promote the welfare and hap- PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS, July 1. Each annual repetition of the ceremony of the proro gation of Parliament presents so little diversity from its predecessors, that there is now little left to be said of it. Her Majesty left Buckingham Palace about two o'clock, in the State carriage, pre ceded by the Officers of the Household and Ladies in Waiting. The cortege took the usual route and arrived at the Victoria Tower, by which her Majesty entered the House, at about a quarter past two. After the ceremony her Majesty returned to Bucking. ham Palace in the same manner. Their Lordships assembled at Twelve o'clock, Lord REDESDALE presiding. SUITORS IN CHANCERY RELIEF BILL. The standing orders having been suspended with re ference to this Bill, it received a second and third read ing, and was passed. About one o'clock the Peers began to arrive in con sidarable numbers. The Duke of Wellington was , es usual, one of the first. The Duke of Cambridge, the Earl of Derby, and the Duke of Northumberland were among the earliest arrivals. The attendance of Peeresses was unusually great, and the w hole appear ance of the space in the bAy of the House and the galleries reserved for the ladies was more bril liant than we remember having seen for some time. The corps diplomatigue mustared strong, and the space allotted to them waa crowded. Among the strangers present in the olllery was the erc-Raja of Coorg and his daughter, the Prince ss Gauremme' who was baptised yesterday at Buckingham palace, and who appeared to be in charge of some E iv stisla the r•uns and the At # 'the st 3 t l ' quar,er-pas t , announced the arrival of cheering of the crowd outside. moments her Majesty the Royal cortege, and in 'A f2bw the Greet Officers of entered the House, followed the y Throne, Prince Albert State, and took her geararof state on her left.

U her on b.2adel kuco by the Lard as follows: Mr LORDS AND GENTIAMEN, I am induced by considerations cf rablic policy to releaw you at an culler period tho,u uaual from your legis/Ative duties. The zeal and diliKenco, however, with vtlaich you have app!ied yourselves to sour Parliamentary labours, ince enabled Me, in this comparatively short Scsi;ion, to give my assent to many measures of high importe.nce, aud, trust, of great and perma nent advantage• I receive from all Foreign Powers assurances that they aro animated by the moat friendly disposi tions towards this country ; and I entertain a confi dent hope that the amicable relations happily sub sisting between the principal European States may be so firmly established as, under Divine Providence, to secure to thg world a long continuance of the bles sings of Peace. To this great end my attention will be unremittingly directed. I rejoice that the final settlement of the affairs of H3lstein and Schleswig, by the general concur rence of the Powers chiefly interested, has removed one cause of recent difference and of future anxiety. The amicable termination of the discussions which have taken place between the Sublime Porte and the Pacha of Egypt afford a guarantee for the teanquillity of the East, and an encouragement to the extension of commercial enterprise. The refusal on the part of the King of Ava, of redress, justly demanded for insults and injuries offered to my subjects at Rangoon, has necessarily led to an interruption of friendly relations with that So vereign. The promptitude and vigour with which the Governor-General of India has taken the mea sures thus rendered unavoidable, have merited my entire approbation ; and I am confident that you will participate in the satisfaction with which I have observed the conduct of the naval and military forces, European and Indian, by whose valour and discipline the important captures of Rangoon and Martaban have been accomplished ; and in the hope which I entertain that these signal successes may lead to an early :and honourable peace. Treaties have been concluded by my naval com manders with the King of Dahomey and all the African chiefs whose rule extends along the Bight of Benin, for the total abolition of the Slave Trade, which is at present wholly suppressed upon that coast. piness of my people. At the conclusion of the speech the Lord Chancellor, by command of her Majesty, proclaimed the Parliament prorogued until Friday, the 20th of August. The Royal train departed in the same order as that in which it had arrived, and thus ended the session of 1852 and the Parliament of 1847. I hlvc had great 3atisfaction in giving my assent to the measure which you have wisely adopted for the better organisation of the Militia ; a constitutional force, which being limited to purposes of internal de fence, can afford no just ground of jealousy to neighbouring Powers ; but which, in the event of any sudden and unforeseen disturbance of my foreign relations, would at all times contribute essentially to the protection and security of my dominions. GENTLEMEN OF TES HOUSE OF COMMONS, I thank you for the liberal provision which you have made for the exigencies of the public service. The expenditure which you have authorised shall be applied with a due regard to economy and efficiency. The recent discoveries of extensive gold-fields have produced, in the Austrian Colonies, a temporary disturbance of society, requiring prompt atten tion. I have taken such steps as it PPeared to me most urgently necessa r y f or the rniti zatku of this serious evil. I shall c on ti nue anxiously t o watch th e important results which must follow from these coveries. I have willingly concurred with you in an Act, which, by rendering available to the servic e of those Colonies the portion arising within them, of the Hereditary Revenue placed at the disposal of Par liament on my accession to the Throne, may enable thorn to meet their necessarily increased expenditure. Mr LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, I have gladly assented to the important Bills whi c h you have passed for effecting reforms, long and a nx iously desired in the practice and proceedings of the Superior Caurts of Law and Equity, and generally f o r improving the administration of justice. Every measure which simplifies the forms, and dimi nishes the delay and expense of legal proceedings, with out introducing uncertainty of decision, impairing the authority of the Courts, or lowering the high standard of the Judicial Bench, is a valuable boon conferred upon the community at lar, e . I hope that the measures Tslalcb you have adopted for promoting extratrairal interment of the dead, and for improving th e supply of water, may be found eiTecqual for the remedy of evils the ex istence o f w hi c h has long b een a reproach to this great metrop-,E2, and may conduce to the health and comfort of its inhabitants. The exten,i on o f popular rights and legislative said ensuing Parliament, by open election and plurality of voices of the Peers that shall be then prrsent, end of the proxies of such as shall be absent (such proxies being Peers, and producing a mandate in writing, duly signed before witnesses, and both the constituent and proxy being qualified according to law), and the Lord Clerk Register, or such two of the Principal Clerks of the Session as shall bo appointed by him to of f iciate in his name, are hereby respectively required to attend such meeting, and to administer the oaths required by law to be taken there by the said Peers, and to take their votes; and immediately after such election made and duly examined, to certify the names of the Sixteen Peers so elected, and to sign and attest the same in the presence of the said Peers the electors, and return such certificate into Our High Court of Chancery of Great Britain. And We do, by this Our Royal Proclamation, strictly command and require the Provost of Edinburgh, and all other the Magistrates of the said city, to take especial care to preserve the peace thereof during the time of the said election, and to prevent all manner of riots, tumults, disorders, and violence whatsoever. ALI We strictly charge and command that this Our Royal Proclamation be duly published at the Market- Cross at Edinburgh, and in all the county towns of Scotland, ten days, at least, before the time hereby appointed for the meeting of the said Peers to proceed to such election.

After the cer emony of presenting the prizes. The Earl of CARLISLE rose and said —I —believe we have now come to an end of the necessary business of the day, except that I am told that lam bound by custom to address a few observations to you respect ing the very pleasing and instructive • exhibition in witnessing which we have all now been associated. I can with truth assure you that it is the portion of might that bu s i nesa with e c hich it •ht well on for P e you, and would undoubt e dl y b e most agreeable to myself, to dis pense altogether. Neverthel • . Nevertheless , assuredly , I bear no un willing homage, nor do Ito give any scanty ex pression to it with regard wisht , o . the display we have now witnessed, of youthful exertion and ability here meet ing with th • eir appropriate and well-deserved rewards, and the promise they afford to the community of further in crease and development. It would be most churlish and ung rate fu l • in me if I were noe frankly to mention how very much I per sonally feel honoured by the invitation which received from the council—not being one of the members, not being one of the founders or patrons or ben e f actors of this institution—to be present, and even to preside, at this its solemn anniversary meeting. It is true that I have known the society at the anniversary of the renowned hospital which i 3 at tached to it, and I have now willingly taken the oppor tunity of manifesting my gratification at the success end progress which it has achieved by general con fession in its faculty of arts and law.—(Applause.) If it were consistent with the dignity of the talk you have imposed upon me to pause for a moment longer upon personal topics, it might well add to the diffi dence which I now most unaffectedly feel when I cast my eyes back on some of those by whom I have been preceded in my present functions. I find among them some of the most prominent names in the ser vice of their country, as well as in the more univer sal republic of science, art, and letters. To say nothing of your most eminent president, Lord Brougham (Loud applause)—who daily shows that his unequalled energies can still wear almost all their original freshness whenever there is an op portunity presented to him for amending the law or improving the jurisprudence of the country—l find among you such names as Lord John Russell— (Applause, with some disapprobation)—whose con sistent worth has been so often proved in hard-fought struggles for civil and religious liberty ; and, not to mention others by whom I am even surrounded at the present moment, I will only recall to your memory that on the very last odcasion of this ceremony these walls echoed to the clear and manly eloquence of Sir J. Graham.--(Loud applause.) I also see beside me one who may truly, and I hope without offence, be called a veteran in the public service—Mr. Hume.—(Hear.) Those who have made it their habit to attend at these anniversaries have had the gratification of listening to the genius which sheds so much pictu resque life and animation over every page of Mr. Ma caulay; and another historian of our day, Mr. Grote, has here taken the opportunity of instructing the youth of England with the same enlightened discri mination with which he has developed the institutions and explained to you the undying glories of an cient Athens.—(Hear, hear.) It is not merely, however, from feeling my utter disparity with respect to such names as these, but also no less from the consciousness that at the period of my own education - -mainly, no doubt, from my own fault, and partly from the fault of the time, when the same care and attention was not bestowed upon many of the more practical and useful objects with reference to which the prizes have been this day delivered into the hands of the respective competitors—that I must feel myself utterly disqualified from enlarging upon by far the great majority of these subjects. I sometimes think, particularly with reference to such studies and pur suits as these, that we are apt, in a public and general point of view, to do that which, perhaps, we have too little disposition to do in our individual cases—that is, to underrate ourselves; for very often, perhaps, the era in which we , live may not appear to us so brilliant and so august as that to which I have just referred, as illustrated by the able and discriminating pen of Mr. Grote, when Pericles uttered his master pieces of eloquent wisdom under the porticos which Phidias had built, or that in which the verses of Virgil and of Horace celebrated the victorious wars and the pacific domination of Imperial Caner. But when we consider the influences and the elements of our modern society, which have extended themselves still further than our arms—when we follow the devious tracks of that commerce which finds no re gion too vast and no inset too sequestered for its fer tilizing traffic—when we transport our name and power to the midst of tribes and nations which Alexander left unconquered, and visit islands and continents of which Aristotle never dreamt—when we are helping, in conjunction with our Transatlantic kinsmen, to spread the language of Shak s p e r e an d the faith of the Cross to the sources of the Missouri and the Ganges—when we remember the instances of mastery which man, even in our own day, has acquired over nature, the steam-engine, the railway, the electric telegraph, besides all the improved ap pliances for the comfort and enjoyment of life, all the opiates of pain—and inferior to none will I ever ....eat to rank that blessed one of chloroform— when we ponder upon the Whole of this splendid cata logue, who does not feel his ambition kindled and his energies braced, if perchance in any degree he, too, may contribute to the relief of man's wants, and to extend the limits of his intellectual empire.—(Loud a pplause.) In the course of this day's proceedings se veral prizes were delivered for proficiency in the classical languages. Now, even though these may have been m a d e the object of too exclusive and indis criminate pursuit eliewhere, yet I do rejoice to find that in the heart of modern London, and surrounded by the din and competition of its multitudinous life, the classical languages have still here met with their appropriate place and honour.—(Hear, hear.) For if even the intrinsic excellence of the immortal compositions of which they are the organ, if the con curring testimony of all ages should fail to be re garded, I think we may gather from the attempts occasionally made to depreciate their value and to discourage their cultivation sufficient inducement for adhering to a contrary course.—(Hear.) Indications have not of late been wanting, in more than one nation of contemporary Europe, of a desire t o with draw them from the training of youth. I lately met with a work published by a' French gentleman, an ecclesiastic in that country, entitled "The Gnawing Worm;" and what do you think was the destructive insect which was there described as sapping the vitality and blasting the produce of all modern society ? It was not crime, it was not popular ignorance, it was not Socialism, it was not the tyranny of despots, it was not the madness of the multitudes, no—it was more than this —it was the paganism propagated by classical le arning. —(Laughter.) Hear this, ye muses of the violet chaplet, that strung your harps by the cool Ilissus ; hear th i s, ye nymphs, that haunt the sunny shores of Bake or the sloping ridge of Tivoli, it is from your shrines and altars that modern society finds, too late, it is instructed to recoil. But I think it is no wonder if inquiry is to be rebuked, and re monstrance to b e silenced, and liberty to be fettered, and authors to be gagged, and scholars to be banished —(Loud applause). —it is no wonder, I say, that an attempt should at the same time be made to close those oracles which through succeeding genera tions have proclaimed in undying tones the sanctity of freedom and the divinity of law.—(Hear, hear, and renewed applause.) Some o f those illustrious exiles this country has already received ; it may be called upon to receive yet more. I trust that she may long continue a home both of liberty and of literature, and I hope that she may long maintain for these victims the inviolable rights of asylum,— (Hear, hear, and applause.) To those illustrious h tbcoaorrti carried by men I can offer ma other counsel than in the words of Ovid, who seems when he uttered them to have laid aside the plaintive and querulous tone, and to have i spoken more in the spirit of Lucan or of Virgil. "En ego, quum patria caream, vobisque domoque Raptaque sit, adimi qua potuere, mihi Ingenio tamen ipso mco comitorque fruorque Caesar in hoe potuit juris habere nihil." —(Cheers.) Now, with respect to that youthful band of prizemen, who, full of early promise and aus picious hope, have successfully appeared before us, and with respect to those who may be here present who have not been equally successful in the contest of the past term, but who within these walls have been the associates of their labours, and may yet be l t i h fe e in m h a e y ritors of their success, I feel sure that every one who hears me now will join me in the cordial wish that the whole nonfn rul with f the the i r promisefut e and nf it mature daw s ilfwtaa(altohnlidnhueadv d rnitienaecadnwsherdtme:isensethabsthi nowit y eeowli aeirlautr,nyhftt. wt:ooptsi perseverance a. tre n eeAfhosrfl e meurs s envtol s ethddetuhtoregweai t heir continuous progress and cbhbra them, and ned a t t aa e h l nabr l y tei ndl e nyodb r u i no t os m s as at conscientiousa shatysuccessivethe r t y y , ornament.r education e ee ithey f uepochs.— (Hear, which employment — b e there can be but few of you who can hope to me a m t tbaieindustry,attain to that capability of independence, respect, and self. reliance which may make your life a credit to your selves and a comfort to your connexions.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, July 1. (Sittings in London, Wore Lord CAMPBELL and a Special Jury.) BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. VON MULLER V. BROWNING. Sir A. E. CocanunN, with whom was Mr. T. Cham bers, stated that this was an action for a breach of pro mise of marriage, which the plaintiff had been compelled to bring, not merely on account of the contract being in fact broken, but on account of the manner in which it had bean broken. In truth, not only had her feelings been wounded, end her just and reasonable hopes dis appointed, but the defendant, in the meanest and most scandalous manner, bad feigned reasons for the breach of his contract. There was little romance about the ease . The defendant was a clerk in the Bank of Eng land, of about the age of 65. The plaintiff was a widow l a dy of the age of 45, the widow of an officer in the Aus trian service. She was an English Lady, whose maiden name was Haines. In early life she had married a Mr. Meredith. Her first marriage was a very unfortunate one, for her husband proved himself a spendthrift and a libertine, who, by his licentious habits, ruined alike himself and his family. The first has. band went into the Spanish service, and ul timately died in Spain while in service in the Legion there. Left by that husband without provision, she took refuge with her father and mother. For some years she remained without receiving any information of her husband. But though he sent her no information rumours of his conduct reached this country, and finally it was said that he was dead. In these circumstances she met with Captain Von Muller, who admired her very much, paid her great attentions, and proposed marriage. She bad led a very unhappy life with Meredith; she was then in a state of dependency; she admired and esteemed the man who sought her hand, and it might well be con ceived that she was glad to accept an offer which pro• mired her that happiness she had failed to win in her first marriage. She accepted his offer conditionally. If the news of Meredith's death was confirmed she agreed to marry. The news was confirmed in the beginning of the year 1836, and then she marred Captain Von Muller. He mentioned these things, because in a letter of the defendant's which put an end to his promise, he had wantonly, falsely, and grievously misrepresented her conduct. Mr. WILLES, who appeared for the defendant, said that he did not mean to cast the slightest imputation on the plaintiff—his client was incapable of it. Sir A. COCKBURN said that the defendant might be incapable of doing this in court at this moment, bat be had done it before in writing, and in the most cold-blooded manner. The lady had, as he said, mar ried again. She had another child, and she was very happy in her marriage, but her husband died, and she was again an inmate of her father's house at New Cross. The plaintiff had been living with her father and mother, i and the defenda n t, who resided nea r t h em, had seen her, and had admired and had become attached to her. The defendant was considerably advanced in life, the lady was not a very young woman, but she was many years younger th an he. Still, however, though no lon ger a young man, he was hearty, active, and full of spirits, and might reasonably be deemed a younger man in life than his years would denote. He introduced himself to the lady first by writing an anonymous letter, and then by avowing himself the author of it. The jury must recollect this fact, for it would be this day set up as a defence that the lady was entrapping him, and , that she w as taking advantage of his folly, and turn 'mg it to her purpose. The fact was the other way. The defendant introduced himself, pressed his suit with ardour, was u nceas i n g in his letter -writing, and sought to give the plaintiff a high idea of himself, not only on account of his literary acquirements and his general knowledge, but also on account of his theological inquiri es an d hi s religious sentiments. All these letters were couched in language of the warmest affection and the sincerest respect. The Learned Counsel read a great number of letters, in which the efforts at display on all these points of erudition were consider able, and in which the expressions of affection were of the very tenderest nature. Mein. - gone through these lettere, he said he now came to the breach of the pro mise which in these very affectionate terms had been made to the plaintiff. He had told the jury of the painful circumstances of her first husband's misconduct. She had in the most frank, and honourable, and confiding manner, told the defendant all that history. After being told it, thouh he was at first disposed to bl ame h er for her hasty acceptance of the offer of Captain Von Muller, he afterwards withdrew his suggestions of blame, and declared that his respect for her was as great as his af fection. The defendant had a son who was married. This son w as going abroad. The defendant went with him to Paris, and th e re, no d ou bt , under the influence of the son, he broke off the match. But, instead of doing it in a frank, honourable, and manly manner, acknowledging that his own wishes had led him into an engagement which, though his feelings and his howler required him to fulfil it, his family de. manded its _., breach, and that he threw himself on her gene ro sity to don the sacrifice he was making to his par family' s • W ishes; instead of doing this, he indicted a most scandal moan, and cowardly letter, full of fal sehoods, in which' e • of her arts, insinuated that he was the victim and that her whole course of life had been anything but respectable, and said, " I believe that your second h u s bandyou knew that y our whea was alive."

I went to Hatcham terrace in Decemb er I went to have the advantage of Mr. Collinsos assistance. Plaintiff was there at that time. My Wife was with me. Plaintiff received an anonymous letter, that was in December. It was shown to me. She was going - throw it in the fire. I sa id a that is to document which ought not to be destroyed. I Occupied a room on the second floor front. That gave ree 4 view of the opposite side of the road. Defendant intro duced himself tcs me in the Bank of England, about Ma y or J une, 1851. I had seen a gentleman pass the front of the house in the months of December and January. I did not know him. I afterwards found it was the defendant. He used to begin on the opposite side of the road, and wave his hand towards the wi n d ow. I could not make out which window it witsn. He used to do so for a distance of th e sixteenth part of a mile. He continued w av i ng till he waved himself up to the house. After the ano nymous letters another came acknowledging the anony mous letter. I afterwards went to Brighton. The house in n atcham-terrace was afterwards given up. I then r a nged with plaintiff, my mother • in-la w , t o come and ay • at my house. After my return from Brighton I carried two letters to the defendant at the Bank. That was when he had introduced hima-lf. Defendant recog eised me by my portrait. Was at Marseilles in March and April. I returned to town in the earl y part of May. ile IWU absent the plaintiff had charge of DV house. I had an interview with the defendant on the 26th of November last. I went to him with Mr. Hales and Dr. CoHinson. He bad made use of my name in a letter. I saw him at his house. I had just arrived from America. I told him I had waited on him with refer ence to Mrs. Von Muller. I then referred to his letter of the 6th of November, from Paris. I had the letter with me, and handed it to hi m . I asked him if it was in his handwriting? He said " Yes." I then read him that part which alluded to Mr. Hales, Mr. CollinGon, and myself, and asked him for an explanation. He said he should reserve his answer for his self-defence. I then asked him if ho knew the contents of his son's letter? He said, " No;" but that the letter was in the handwriting of the sou. I then alluded to the anony mous letter. I showed him the other letters which had been put in my hand, and said I had no other course to pursue than to put the letter into the hands of my at torneys. Cross-examined —The plaintiff had threatened the defendant with an action, and he said that it was upon that he should reserve himself for his self-defence. The defendant was a widower. I did net know his family. Have heard that his daughter was keeping his house for him. Re-examined—Plaintiff is about 47 or 48. Mrs. Suter —.I am the wife of the last witness. I was brought up by my grandfather. In the beginning of 1851 I went with my husband to New-cross, then to Brighton, and thence to Marseilles. I remember my mother receiving an anonymous letter. She was going to throw it in the fire. My husband prevented her from doing so. I knew defendant before that letter. I have seen him bow to the house and kiss his hand. Cross-examined—l had not seen the defendant, to k sp n e o a w k h to is hi daughter before nghter I by sight. The from dot Marseilles endanessonis I a married man, with a family. Cromwell terrace, o H ll a ha rr s o o w n a I surgeon , resided a residing t Ne w n er o C s s r o for m w e ten l I years. I k new t h e plaintiff. She resided with her father i and mother. I also knew the stepmother of the defen dant, who resided next door. The defendant is about sixty or sixty-five years of age. He is an active healthy man. I do not know whether he has much power of conversation. I believe he has considerable attainment.. I went on the 26th of November last, with Mr. Suter and Mr. Halse, to call on the defendant. I have seen the defendant call on the plaintiff while she has been staying at my house. I was aware that there was a busy cor respondence going on—great many postman's knocks at my door. I have seen them walking together. I have heard extracts from the letters. Cross-examined—l mean the theological parts, on the doctrine of election, and on Strauss's opinion about the Christian religion. Re-examined—The lady was proud of the defendant's intellectual attainments, and that was the reason she read these extracts. He lived at the rate of about 5001. or 6001. a year in a quiet, gentlemanly style. Again cross -examined—I never visited him as a friend, but only as a medical man, attending first on hi s wife in 1849, an d then, after her death, on himself. By the CHIEF JUSTlCE—Plaintiff spoke in a tone of great admiration of his acquirements and his religious sentiments. She spoke of his letters with pleasure, but never with levity. Mrs. Collinson—l have known the plaintiff five or six years. She communicated to me the circumstances that took place between herself and Mr. Brown. I have seen them together, and met them in the street; they were walking arm in arm, and appeared quite friendly. Since this affair was broken off she has suffered a great deal. Mr. Coilinsou has been attending her. She has been in my house. Mr. Hart —I have known the plaintiff from her child hood. I have known the defendant since his acquaint ance with the plaintiff began. Ho has called at my house with a note for her. Mrs. Sophia Carter —I remember in 1851 a Mr. and Mrs. Hart coming to lodge in my house. Plaintiff cum° to visit Mrs. Hart. Mr. Brown came there to see her. My husband was very ill at the time. Defendant came frequently. The official return of the death of the first husband, Thomas Meredith, was put in. He died on the 17th of March, 1836. The plaintiff was married at St. Pancras on the 19th of May, 1836, to Mr. Von Muller. Mr. Lofty, the plaintiff's attorney—l knew plaintiff before her marriage with Captain Von Muller. Mr. WILLES then addressed the jury for the defen dant, and contended that the damages here ought to be of the smallest possible amount. There was no pretence to talk of wounded feelings and blighted hopes, and the cause was a very dull cause, because the action was a trumpery action. He was sure he was not exaggerating or using an improp er expression when he said that the plaintiff wa s i n f atuat i ng this old man, and that the de pendant was only rescued from the folly of his dotage by the legitimate and proper influence exercised over him by his son at Paris. There the old man had, in the na tural confidence of his heart, told all to his eon, and then he had been brought back to a reasonable and proper line of conduct. The Learned Counsel referred to a great many passages in the letters to prove that his client was a dotard, over whom the plaintiff had the power to exercise an influence which required to be put an end to. There must probably be a verdict for the plaintiff, but he trusted that the jury would look on the case as one requiring the smallest possible amount of damages. Lord C&MPBELL, in the course o f hi s charge to the jury, said that this was a form of action in which the damages might vary very much. It seemed to him that the damages here ought not to be so large as in some cases, where the tenderest feelings of the heart had been cruelly crushed, nor so small as not to mask the opinion of the jury that the plaintiff had been guilty of no mis conduct. The jury at first said that the damages ought to be a year's salary of the defendant, on which a question arose what that salary was; and, At the suggestion of Mr. WILLES, and by the con sent of Sir A. Cockburu, A olerk in the bank was called, who said he did not think it was more than 3001. to 310/. a year. On cross examination be said that the plaintiff had been there nearly fifty years, but he did not believe the plaintiff's salary to be above what he had stated. He did not know whether the defendant had any property besides his salary. The jury retired to consider the case, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 8001. Wn owrcla THE ARMY. , JU LY I .—The whole of th e troops in the garrison off duty assembled this morning, and proceeded to the common under the same commanding officers as on Tuesday last, and went through the same evolutions of a review and sham fight as on that day, with the addi tion that the left battalion of Foot Artillery were de tached to man 24 guns on the barrack-field, consisting of eight 12-pounders, eight 9-pounders, and eight 6-poun ders, whi c h are to be fired to-morrow, with fiveinde pendent rounds from each gun. The whole of the troops are to be on the ground to-morrow, at ten o'clock and space is set apart for upwards of three hundred carriages. The carriages of the Master-General's party, upwards of sixty in number, will be stationed near the Hag-staff, in a position which can only be taken by t h ose hav i ng cards signed by the Brigade- Major. As it is now doubtful whether a review will also take place on Monday next (to-morrow, Fri day, July 2, having been selected in preference, being the day after the dissolution of Parliament, and a num ber of the nobility being anxious to get into the coun try as early as possible after their duties were concluded in both Houses of Parliament), a great number are ex pected to be present.

On the side of income were half a year's interest from Government on stock and annuities, including allowance for management, 136,315/.

On the side of outgoings were, half a year's interest to proprie tors of annuities, 80,0221. 181. 10d. ; general charges, 2,7971. 58. 10d. ; added to whi c h the balance of 65,175 / . 15s. 2d., carried infra, made the total of 147,995/. 19s. 10d. The balance proposed to be appropriated as fol lows :—For a half-year's dividend on 3,662,784/. Bi. 6d. South Sea St oc k, at li per c e nt., 64,098/. 14s. 6d. ; leaving a surpl us o f 1,077/ Os. Bd. The CHAIRMAN said that from the accounts just read they would find that the half year's income, up to the sth of July, amounted to 147,995 L ; and the outgoings and charges to 82,8201. ; leaving an available balance of 65,175/. Out of this balance a dividend of i per cent. migh t b e paid to the proprietors of the company's stock if the Court thought proper. The total amount required for the dividend would be 64,098/ 14s. 6d., so that they would have a surplus of 1 0771 03. Bd. He had, therefore, great pleasure in moving that a dividend of li per cent. for the half year be declared. The motion was duly seconded and unanimously agreed to, after which the Court adjourned. rADyERTISEMENT.)—THE EARL OF ALDBOROITGU AND HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—An astounding care by this miramllone medicine, alter every other means had failed.

THE RIOT AT STOCKPORT. Mr. ANSTEY, seeing the Right Honorable the Sec retary of State for the. Home Department in his place, wished to put to him a question with reference to the unhappy affray that had taken place at Stockport. He wishel to ask, in the first place, whether he had any further infaination on the subject of the affray than that which was already before the country? In the second place, he wished to ask whether it was true, or whether the Right Hon. Gentleman had any reason for believing, that religious processions of the Roman Ca tholics was the original cause of the disturbance? end, thirdly, whether it was th e i ntent i on of Government, from this time forth, to take effectual measures to pre.- tP:e:gEisntrates vent religious processions of that kind taking place in this country, where the current of feeling was eminently calculated to produce disastrous consequences?—(Hear.)

VENTIL&TION OF THE HOUSE. Lord SEYMOUR wished to ask the Noble Lord the, First Commissioner of Works what measures were in tended to be taken during the recess to improve the ven tilation of the House? Lord JOHN MANNERS said it was intended to adopt the recommendation of the Committee which had sat upon this subject, and it was hoped the Board of Vie.,rks, with the assistance of those gentlemen who had paid attention to the ventilation and lighting of the 'louse, would render the chamber far more agreeable next session than it had been this.—(Hear.) PRINTED PAPERS. Mr. HUME said a number of valuable papers relating to the coknies, and other matters, had been laid on the table to-day, but he was told that they could not be de livered to Members, as the Parliament would be at an end after to-day. Tha SPEAKER said his authority ceased after the dissolution, and the delivery of the papers would en tirely rest with tho Government. llUME—Under these circumstances he belled the Government would consent to ordering the delivery of the papers. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER doubted whether the Government had power to make such an order, but there V 725 yet time enough before the Parlia ment expired to move art address to the Crown on the subject.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME accordingly moved that an humble ad dress be presented to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty would be graciously pleased to order the deli very of such papers as had not yet been sent out. The motion was agreed to. TH E PRO RO GATION. The ballot for places in the train of the Speaker while attending her Majesty i❑ the House of Peers was taken, and the Elaine of Mr. Hume was amongst the earliest drawn from the box. At the close of the ballot, Mr. HUME expressed a hope that the same regula tion that was observed last year, in reference to the prin cipal Ministers in the House, would be followed to-day, and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer and his Right Hon. Colleagues would be allowed to take precedence of all other Members,—(Hear, hear.) The Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod here appeared at the table, and stated that " Her Majesty commanded the immediate attendance of this Honourable House at the bar of the House of Peers." The SPEAXER, in obedience to the summons, left the House, attended by the Sergeant-at-Arms, the Cabinet Ministers, and the other Hon. Members present, in the order in which their names had been drawn from the ballot-box, After an absence of a quarter of an hour the SPEAKEIt returned to the table and read a copy of the &lat.
