from some of the bedroom windows at the back of the house. lie also knew Lady Montford's house, which was not such a good one as Mr. Evans's house but it looked, at the distance of about 100 yards, towaeds the railway. He was also acquainted with Mr. Ben net's property. Ilia house was a good family mansion, surrounded by 400 acres of ground ; and, by a stipulation with that gentleman, it was agreed that the line should net be carried nearer to his house than as now laid down. Mr. Evans's house stood at the corner of two roads, on which there was a considerable traffic, and the ground In front of the premises belonged to Lady Montford. To Mr. WORDSWORTH —The witness repeated his previous evidence, and stated that lie had purchased the parsonage house on behalf of the Company; but, at a previous meeting with Mr. Evaies's agent, he had merely suggested the deviation which had been shown by that gentleman. A plan had certainly been sent to him by Mr. Hunt, but he did not know what had become of it. To Mr. IlorE —The witness repeated his assertion that the 'railway would tea Interfere with the line of sight between Mr. dames house and the copse on St. Anne's MIL To Lord l'ou,lNcToe and Mr BLEWITT— The witness replied that the parsonage house was bought because a bridge was to be erected, which would be close to the windows, and the purchase had been made in order to avoid any difficulty with the patron of the living. The land near Mr. Evans's house was ornamental meadow, but he thought that the injury done to Mr. Ben nett's property would be g. eater than that suffered by Mr. Evans, as the line went directly through the former gentleman's park. This closed the case for the promoters, and Mr. WORDSWORTH was aia i ut to open his case, when the chairman intimated that he thought the feeling of the committee was to pass the preamble anti din:cuss Mr. Evans's claims on the clause. On this suggestion the counsel would have acted, bat a difficulty arose respecting the at: rangement, and Mr. Wordsworth was about to proceed against the preamble, when, atter some conversation between the several parties concerned, a conference was held between them, the result of which was that Mr. Bennett, having conceded part of his claims, the company were enabled to take such a line of deviation as would meet Mr. Evans's views, and the preamble of the Bill was declared proved. The Ccnunittee went through the clauses, after an alteration had been made, which was suggested by Mr. Wordsworth, and the Chairman was directed to carry up the report. GROUP XIX. This Committee commenced its sittings th7s morning in the dining room of the Slesion house, Westminster. The Committee consisted of Lord Harry Vane, chairman ; Mr. F. Scott, the Earl of March, Mr. Nerris, and Mr. Bennett. EXMTETL, TOPSF.A. 7,n, AND zxra 0 TZI This was the first Bill that was taken r , y the Cot tttce. The line is a short one, being only seven miles in length. The estimated cost is 100,000/. The Bill was opposed by the corporation of Exeter. There was a competing line called the Exeter and Exmouth Railway. eared for the promoters S e r g eant Murphy alai Mr. Merrivale app of the Bill. Mr. INIERRIVALE having opened the ease, called Mr. Wilcock% a member of the town council of Exeter, in support of the Bill. Fie epoke of the general advantage to the neighbourhood of the line. The witness was cross-examined on the part of the corporation of Exete, with the cbject of showing that sufticient accommodation would r be afforded to the neighbourhood by the existing canal. 0110CP XXV. The Coanuittee appointed to eo nsider the merits of the several Bills comprised in this group assembled for the first time this morn ing, in the Westminster Sessions-house. The Committee couslsted of the Hen. Mr. Lascelles, chairman, Mi. Duncan, Mr. Moacktoa Miles, Mr. Maclean, and Sir John Walsh. The Bills comprised in the group were as follows : Eastern Union (Ardleigh to Colchester). Eatetere Union and Harwiele narwhal' and Eastern Counties Junction. Dee - teen Union and Iladleigh Junction. Malden, Witham, and Ilraintree Railway. Colchester, Stour Valley, Sudbury, and Halstead Railway. Tar. MALDEN, WITHAM, AND BRAIN. TI.EE aZiIIZAWAY. This was the first line gone into Mr. JAlstee appeared for the promoters, and stated that the lino eommenced at Malden, a port of considerable importance in Essex, and ran on in a direct line to Witham, where It joined the Eastern Cemities Railway. It then passed onto Braletree, the central agri cultural-town of the county. The length of theline from Maiden to Witham 'v. s S miles, while the extent of the whole line was 12 miles and some few chains. There was an extensive trade between Malden and Braintree in agricultural produce and materials. For instance, the corn produced in the neighbourhood of Braintree was exported from Malden, and, In return, chalk, slates, lime, and coal were imported to a large degree. There were 50,000 tons of coal imported annually into Malden, 25,000 tons of which were carried up to the Malden quays, and the other 25, , 00 tons were conveyed into the interior of the country by the Chelmer navigation. New, there was no competing line, but the Bill was opposed by the Chelmer navi gation, who contended that the River_ Blackwater was so shallow that no more than 25,000 tons of coal could he carried up to Malden, and this, it is evident, would not ot suffice to support a railway , b ut they proposed to get rid of the jection by taking powers to deepen the river if it should be found necessary. The Chelruer navigation pro charged 4s. 4d. p ton for the carriage of coal, but they posed tecarry coal at er 2s. 4d. per ton. At the same time it must be remembered that the naviga tion was often obstructed by frosts and floods, which rendered a line of railway indispensably necessary; and as it was a line promoted and got up by local traders and merchants, the Committee could hardly throw it out upon the opposition of a canal company or a landholder. The first witness called was Mr. Ransome, an extensive iron monger of Ipswich, who stated that he was well acquainted with the (equity of Essex, and particularly with the route of the proposed railway. It would be of great advantage to Maiden in so far as it would give an immediate communication with Colchester, Braintree, and the metropolis. The present cost of conveying agricultural pro lute was front Bd. to 9d. per mile, but he estimated that the rail way would have the erect of reducing it to three-halfpence per mile. There tees a ef.k manufactory, and all along the line there were large flour-mills. Mr. Fdll3Eill vets about to cross-examine th- witness en behalf of the Chelmer navigation, but he was interrupted by Mr.JAelle3 who objected to his appearing against the preamble of the Bill, oa the ground that the line did not directly compete with the navigation. The line would pass the river Chelmer by means of a bridge, and his Learned Friend only had the right of appearing against the clauses. Mr. Fosse-rut contended that he had a right to appear against the 2reamble, because the line would prove injurious to tie navigation, while the public wants did not require the railway at all. The Committee decided that, as there was to specific injury al leged in the petition, Mr. Forsoth could not be beard at ail. Mr. John rain, of Malden, spoke to the importance or the imports of that town in an agricultural view. The exports ,onsisted chiefly of grain and corn, which were sent to Wakefield and other parts of Yorkshire.. The line was unanimously supported by the inhabitants of the distr ct. • Mr. Pe.edide, the surveyor of the line, estimated the price of the land to be taken for the line at 9,9401. The line in no way interfered w.th any resh:entiel property, nor did it injure any house or building. Mr. Locke, the engineer, proved that the length of he line was twelve miles and six chains. There was no tunnelling—the gra dients were good, and on the whole the line was the best that could be selected. The estimate was lee,oeol. ; the subscribed caietal of the Company was 200,0001. The Illeckwater River could easily be deepened, and at a moderate outlay. The line joined the Eastern Countlee on a level at Witham. After the working ex penses of the line had been paid, he estimated that there would be a disposable baheice of 18,175/., or 10 per cent. upon the paid-up capital. This closed the case for the promoters. The opposition was post poned Jill to morrow. The Committee adjourned, at four o'clock, till twelve o'clock to - MOM IT. Sub-C9mMittee No. 2.

The CHAIRMAN said, it appeared that the ease was an opposed one, and it was not in their power to grant the application. The parties had better proceed with their cue in the best manner they could. After a short delay, the case was accordingly entered into, when it appeared, that the object of the promoters is the construetioa of lines of railway, to connect the Lanarkshire iron•works with the West Lothian coal line end limestone fields, to afford an uninter rupted communication between the East and West Coast of Scotland, and Idve a new and additional supply of coal to the city c,f Edinburgh.

Para, Gent., to be Cor net, &c. the interpretation thereof, the re-appearing on earth of the spirits of the departed, &c., yet, in the main, he was a shrewd, sntsible, keen man. Mr. Coe:Kearns then proceeded to open the case for the defendant, with a view to prove the insanity of the testator, and certainly a more extraordinary case we never remember to have heard ; but the principal delnsif)n under which the testator appeared to have suffered was, that no woman could be chnite, and that his wife in particular was abominable ; and all this, so far as the evidence want, was utterly without foundation—one moment accueing her of conspiracy, incest, and adultery, and in the next writing of her in the most affectionate and endearing terms. -He was exceedingly jealous of his female servants being contaminated, and would discharge a labourer if he even looked towards the house. The girls woad take advantage of this delusion under which he suffered, and would, when he was 10 . 60ut the premises, set up a scream, upon which he mould iminediately take off his ' shoes and run round to the door to save them. He was curious, also, in his way of dealing with his labourers ; he would make them all work in a line, and would call them to work or to rest by the sound of a horn. As to hi conduct in the house s he would get up, light the fires, and make his servants' breakfast, and if a fire wanted blowing he would have all the fires in the house blown at the same time ; and so with warming the beds, and when the pan was brought. down he would feel the bottom of It, and if he thought it felt too warm he would send the servant up again to renew her work, saying, he would not have his coals wasted. On one occasion he made his wife sit with him all night long in the coal-cellar ; on another he mistook a log of wood fer a devil. and would have it shot at. At another time he said he was beset with twelve devils, he accordingly went out, and having fired a pista twelve times, he came back p ici tied, saving he had killed all the devils. Mr. Cockburn, in his address, read an immense number of letters, showing his opinion of women and of his wife, but the details were too disgusting and horrible to be given, and could only be asci ibed to the mental delusion under which he was suffering. At the conclusion of Mr. Cockburn's address he proceeded to call his witnesses. and shortly afterwards Mr. Humfrey informed the Court and jury he should trouble them no further. He could not conceal from himself that the case opened by his friend, and proved by the documents he had been permitted to see, would lead the jury to believe there was general insanity; therefore, considering the proper attestation of the will might also be doubtful, he was content not to ask a verdict at their bands. Before he did that he begged to make an observa tion as to Mrs. Thornhill; lie wished to say, from the evi dence and all he had heard, that the testator's conduct with regard to her was a perfect delusion, and he trusted that in the mind of every honourable man who might read or hear of this csse no ground of reproach would remain as to her conduct ; it was his duty so to say, and he hoped it would be a satisfacton to her feelings that he made that apology for speaking of her before in a manner which only arose from his not hearing the case. The CHU' JUSTICZ said he thought the Learned Counsel took a very proper view of the case, whilst the observations he had made were handsome and honourable to his feelings. A verdict was then taken for the defendant. Mr. Pairr said, that the first allegation to which he would call the attention of the Committee was that of the Monkland and Kirkintilloch Railway Co:npany, who complained that their names had not been mentioned either in the books of reference, deposited in the offices of the clerks of the peace in the district through which the line was proposed to pass, or in the documents deposited in the Private Bib• office, as owners of the Rose hail branch of their railway, with which the promoters of the present Bill intended to interfere. The allegation wasdeclared to be sustained. The Committee was occupied during the remainder of the day with other minor allegations, some of which were sustained and others not. The case was adjourned until to-morrow. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEES. HOUSE OF LORDS. •• IRISH GREAT WESTERN (DUBLIN TO GALWAY): The Committee met this day at eleven o'clock. Sir John Macneil was cross-examined by Sergeant Wranghsun, upon behalf of the Mullingar Company. He stated that he was engineer to the Mullingar Company last year, and that a plan purporting to be a line of railway from Mullingar to Galway was lodi,ed with the Board of Trade, and certified by him as engineer, but that the scheme was got up in a great hurry, and merely as a project to give the Company lotus standi before the House, and that he would not have carried out the project, but would have resigned his appointment. The tendency of his cross-examination did not weaken his client's examination in favour of the Dublin and Galway. Mr. Ron then cross examined the witness on behalf of the Royal Canal, and Sir John stated that he considered that the canal would not be injured by the establishment of tke Dub:in and Gal way, but In some respects much advance d, and the property mate rially increase its fraftle. • DUBLIN AND GALWAY. This case having been closed for the promoters, Mr. Sergeant Wass:et-mu addressed the Committee for the Dublin and Mullingar Company. The Learned Counsel complained of the other side haying abandoned certain plans which were submitted to Parliament last year, and coming in now for the same powers with . altogether new plans and sections ; in fact, quite a new survey. The Learned Sergeant having gene at length Into the merits of both lines, concluded by stating that he would call such evidence as would alter the impression made by the pro moters of the Dublin and Galway line. The first witness was then called, and the Committee adjourned till eleven o'clock to-morrow. THE NEWLY, WAItRENPOINT, AND ROSTREVOR. The Committee appointed to consider the merits of this Bill com menced its sittings to-day at twelve o'clock, the Earl of Rosebery in the chair. Mr. ALEXANDER opened for the promoters, after which witnesses were called in to support the preamble. The case for the promoters having closed, Mr. Aunts/ addressed the Committee for the Newry Navi gation Company, who opposed the proposed line of railway on the ground that it would injure the traffic of tee canal. The Learned Counsel concluded by saying that be would call evidence to show the injury which his clients would sustain; after which he trusted the Committee would fix a rate of compensation which would indemnify the Navigation Company. The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow. DIRECT LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH RAILWAY. The Committee met this day at half-past one o'clock ; present, the Earl of Shaftesbury (in the Chair), Lords Redesdale, Ilawarden, and In this case the Company having received their Bill, ox their undertaking to produce a Bill signed by the proper parties, The agent for the line submitted to their Loniships that the proper deed lead been prepared, and the Committee accordingly confirmed their decision of yesterday. LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY. This case which came under the denomination of privileged Bills was the next which came under the consideration of the Com mittee. The same objection as that tendered against the Direct London • and • Portsmouth lailWay (and which may be seen in our railway report yesterday) was also urged against the line. The Committee adjourned the case to Thursday next. A question arose—that as the new deed of contract had been executed by other parti a from those who paid the deposits—whether those parties had any eisi - n on the fluid in court, which had been paid under the t irtue of the old deeds ? The Committee decided that as the money bad been paid on ac count of the Company of the London and York Railway, they were entitled to make use of it. WEXFORD AND WATERFORD, AND VALENCIA RAILWAY. This case was adjourned until Thursday next, the parties not • being in attendance. BANKRUPTS.

The commission for this town and the county were opened en Friday by Mr. Justice Coltman. There are twelve pri soners for the town, and nineteen for the county. Among the former is one for murder, a report of which case appears be low. In the county calendar the offences charged are com paratively trams:. M URDE Was. Hubbard was charged with the murder of his wife on the 11th of August last. Mr. Hildyard conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Macauley the defence. The prisoner and his wife lived in the borough of Leices ter, and had been !parried three years, and some time before her death had been lodging at the house of Elizabeth Hab bard, the prisoner's sister-in-law. The prisoner had been ill for some time, and in consequence was reduced. to a great state of poverty. On the Thursday previous to her death, the wife, who had expressed an intention of going to Bir mingham to her friends for some time, called in a broker to sell some furniture, and goods were sold to the amount of one pound. The prisoner took a bedstead and bed away with him to his father's, where he slept from the Thursday previous to the murder. It would appear the prisoner seemed uneasy at the prospect of hi wife going away. On the night before the transaction in question. the prisoner and his wife were talking together in the entry leading to his brother's house for three-quarters of an hour. They then came in together ; they appeared to have been quarrelling. The prisoner bade them good night and went away. Eliza beth Hubbard slept with her husband in the frent room, th e deceased occupied the back, ha✓rng with her a child of her sister-in-law and her own. In the morninte she got up at an early hour, went down stairs, and proceeded to light and blow the fire. Elizabeth Hubbard heard the voice of some one talking with her; it was a man's voice. Shortly after warde the foot of a man was heard coming up stairs, and to go down again. The child had been cryirg previously, but had ceased, when the same voice, which seemed the pri soner'!, said, " It's asleep." There was a scuffling took place, and the bellows used in blowing the fire was heard to fall, as if hit down. Prisoner's brother and brother's wife got up and came down in their night-clothes, when they found the deceased leaning forwards with her hands stretched out, and blood flowing from her throat•copiously. The prisoner was standing in a corner of the room. sister-in-law said, "Oh, Bill, what have you done?". He replied, " I intended to do :t if I got hung for it." The prisoner shortly afterwards left the spot, and was ultimately arrested in a field, at a short distance off, near the canal. A surgeon was called in, but the woman died shortly after the wound had been itfflieted. A knife was found pear the canal side. When arrested, he asked the police-constable to go to his mother, and tell her not to fret about it. Thomas Highton, surgeon, stated that he was called in at about half-past six. Deceased was in a chair. The wound in her throat caused her death. She could not have spoken after it, for it severed her windpipe, and must have been done by a person standing behind. The prisoner was found Guilty, when M. Justice COLTMAN passed the awful sentence of the law upon him. that he be hung, holding out no hopes of mercy. The prisoner remained unmoved during the trial. He was spoken off by the witnesses as a mild inoffensive man, while the deceased was often violent in her conduct towards him, and once struck him with a poker. LAW INTELLIGENCE.

NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE and a Special Jury.) BREACH OF ritomise.—ELLlCE V. FENWICK. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a lady formerly residing at Teignmouth, in this_county, against the defendant, for a breach of promise of marriage. Mr. Greenwood and Mr. Stone appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Crowder, Q.C., Mr. Haywood, Q.C., and Mr. Montague Smith for the defence. Mr. STO/in having opened the pleadings, Mr. GREENWOOD stated the facts of the case to the jury. He then called Miss Amelie Longdie examined by Mr. STONE.—I know the plaintiff and the defendant. In the autumn of last year I was lodging with Mrs. Ellice at Teignmouth. She was a widow, about thirty-five years of age. She had one daughter, aged eight years, and had four children of Mr. and Mrs Sewafd uncle be charge. Mrs. Ellice was introduced to the defendant by Mr. Hayes. The defendant lived at Veal's Hatch, and had a cottage at Combe, close to Paddon's farm house. He is about thirty. He appeared to be a man of wealth ; kept horses, dogs, a dog-cart, groom, a yacht with rive men, a phaeton, also a gamekeeper; he rented a manor also. He said he had a house ii town, a barouche, an estate at Hay ling, also one at Croydon. He came to Mrs. Ellice's daily: some days many time!. We often went out in his yacht, by invitation, myself, the plaintiff, and Mr. and Mrs. Hayes. I remember the Teignmouth races. On the second day we both went. I and Mrs. Ellice walked to to the course with the defendant. The rice course is Close to the town. He EXETER GREiT WESTEIeN. The consideration of this case was resumed this morning, having occupied the Committee during the last twe days they sat. 1‘ !Messes were examined this morning in reference to the allege Lion contained in the petition of Mr. Townsend, the consideration of which was referred to in our report yesterday as having been post poned till evidence on the point was submitted. • After a lengthened investigation, the Committee decided that a suftiolent publication of the intentions of the promoters had tal,eu place, and that the allegation of non-publication was not proved. The petition of William Cnff, the owner of an orchard, was then gone into, which alleged omissions and misdeseriptions, not in con formity with the standing orders. The Committee was of opinion that the objections wore too frivol ous to be entertained. The petition of the executor Robert Pearce, alleging that no notice had been given of the construction of the line, was then taken into consideration. The Committee decided that in this case the standing orders were complied with, sufficient care having been taken to ascertain the re puted ownership of the lands in question, and due notice having been served in accordance with the result of that inquiry. William Higgins and others presented petitions, the allegations cf which were of a similar nature, but maLy of the objections of which were pronounced to be immaterial and frivolous. The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow. Room No. 9. 11: embers present—Mr. T. Estcourt (Cluerman), Mr. OM, gir J. Y. Buller, Mr. StruA, and Mr. IL Pendarves.

He Invited myself and Mrs. Ellice to ge to 'l' rquay. We weft about tWo o'elock, in a him: eatriage. lie Was exceedingly attentive to the plain tiff. We returned in the evening. On the next day he callsd, and said he' was going to London. On that day I dined at Mrs. lityes'A. On my return I found Mr. Fen ick there in the drawing-room with the plaintiff. I thought my company was not desired, and I went into the next room, wieah was my bed-room. There MU a door corn municating into the draeing-room. There Is a table, a dressing-table, next the door. i stood at that end still. There heard the defendant speak. It was in a loud tone. I heard him say, " Mrs. Ellice will you have me?" She said, "Your family will think you foolish," He interrupted her, saying, " My Pemiiv hate ,nothing to do with you Iteve .3 I did !hit lieaf What ailewer she made. Soon after this I went into the room. The defendant had kis arm round Mrs. Ellice's waist. He said, you see Mrs. Ellice is afraid to sit next me now. He remained about half an hour, and then left. He called again the neat day, and from that time he came daily. He made her Various presents —a writing-desk and Bible, which he said had belonged to his deceased sister, and much valited, wine Vrerich slieeers, gold studs, marble vase, gloves, and daily presents of 'French flowers and wine. I have heard him tell Mrs. Ellice that he had desired his yacht-men to call on her daily for orders, which they did, and she often gave them orders. The defendant spent ntost of his time at Mrs. Ellice's lodgings. On the 24th of September, which Ives his birthday, he said to me that he had wished Mrs. Ellice to spend that day with him at his cottage alone, hat she had refused to do so on that day. We lunched with him on board his yacht, and then Walked with him to the cottage. Tie children had been sent by. him, with the nurse, to the cottage to spend the day, and Mr. Downs walked with us. The defendant's attentions to Mrs. Elko were very particular on that day. On the next day we went in the yacht to Exmouth, and returned in the evening. During all this time the defendant's attentions were of that kind as if he considered himself engaged to Mrs. Ellice. I remember a Mr. Johnstone, the plaintiff's father, and his wife. On the 30th the defendant expressed his regret that he was engaged out to dinner. Showed. Mr. Johnstone about the town, and arranged to go with him, his wife, and Mrs. Ellice, to Torquay the next day. They went in the defendant's phaeton, and Mrs. Ellice sat by his side on the front seat, and Mr. and Mrs. Johns tone behind. In October I heard that it was arranged that Mrs. Ellice was to take the children of Mr. and Mrs. Seward to Cheltenham. This was on the 2d of October. The defendant said he was obliged to go to Exeter on busi• nest, but hoped to get it over and go to Cheltenham with the plaintiff; it was also arranged that Lord, me, and Mrs. Johnstone, should go up to Exeter on the 3d and meet her. We went up and stopped at the Full Moon, where we were met by the defendant, who said that he was sorry that he had been unable to go with Mrs. Ellice. He said he should go to meet her at the railway station ; he did several times, but she did not come by the first train, by which he said he expected her. We dined together, and he ordered dinner to be prepared for the plaintiff in time for the last train. He told me that he was about to dismiss his housekeeper and sell his dog-cart to retrench. Previous to settling he or dered a fly at half-past eight, when he went to the station and returned with Mrs. Ellice. He then gave her the gold studs. We returned to Teiznmouth in his carriage. He promised to dine With Mrs. Ellice the next day, but did not come. The next day there was a ball at Teignmouth.' The defendant called in the evening at six, and said he should not go the ball if he could help it, but should come again about ten. I went to the hall, where I again saw him. I asked him why he had not kept his appointment to dine, he said he had been at the barracks engaged with the colonel. He said the officers bad been teasing him about his being a married man, but he did not care for that. He said he had an engagement with the colonel the next day, but should call on the plaintiff. He called three times, and it was arranged that Mrs. Johnstone, myself, and Mrs. Ellice should go on board the yacht the next day, which we did. The defendant, on this and all other occasions, behaved in a way he could not have done had he not considered himself as engaged person. He said he was going to Oxford on the 16th of October, and it was arranged that we -should go to Exeter to meet him. Mr. and Mrs. Johnstone were to return on the same day to 'Dublin. They went, but Mrs. Ellice did not, as she was ill. This was the 14th of October. Before he went away he gave Mrs. Ellice a packet. Some time after this, about a fortnight, I sa;v the defendant in Exeter. I elever saw him at Mrs. Ellice's after his return from Oxford. When I saw the defendant at Exeter I told him that Mrs. Ellice tad been ill. He expressed 15reat regret—lie could not kelp it —butt he had Pictivid _ In consequence of the nen-attendance of the agents, we were net able to learn the decision In this case: NORFOLK.

Desired me to give his love to her, and te:l her so. I went back that day. After this I saw Mr. Downee, he was an intimate friend of the defendant. lie came to Mrs. Ellice's. I was in the room with her. Some conversation passed, and he left. I never after saw the defendant there. Mrs. Ellice remained at Teignmouth until November, and then left. • Cross-examined by Mr. CEolrbEit—l had known the plain tiff for four years before July, at London, Cheltenham, and at Brighton. I began to reside with her is the September before she a: ent to Teignmouth. This was at Cheltenham. In London she lived at my brother's. She had no employ ment at that time, nor had I. I afterwards went to Fcauk foi t. When .I came back she engaged me as a subteacher under her, and she wont to Teignmouth. We lodged,just opposite the hotel. It is a narrow street. Mr. r enwick once gave me some gloves and a pencil -ease, which he fiast offered to Mrs. Ellice. Ido not know he was in the habit of always going out in his yacht with ladies. After he was introduced to us he never went out without us. Mrs. Ellice had given him a present. [Here the Learned Counsel produced a painted earthenware figure of a widow, and asked the witness it that was the present. This created excess of laughter in the Court, in which the witness joined, and ad mitted she had seen such an image before, and believed it to be the same.] Mrs. Johnstone corroborated the evidence of the last wit ness in all particulars as to what took place after her (Mrs. Johnstone's) arrival at Torquay. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Hayward at some length, but he did not in any war shake her testimony. - Henry W. Hayes—l reside at Teignmouth. I know both the plaintiff and the defendant. I have known the defendant about two years. He keeps a yacht and lives as a gentle man of fortune. He has told me he has an estate in Hamp shire. He has snoken to me of the widow. I understood by this he meant 'Mrs. Ellice. He once said to- me "he'd be d—d if he would not marry the widow." He said he had written to his sister, Mrs- Marston, about it. I have seen him since this action was brought. I have been examined by the attorney on the other side, and am subpoenaed by both. I once heard hitu say " that he had never written. There was no evidence against him in handwriting. That he had suffered before, and a burnt child dreads the fire." I have heard him say that there was an action for breach of promise of marriage brought against him by a Miss Lacy; that he had compromised it for 1,0001., and had paid 500/. for expenses. I have sometimes heard him speak of Miss Wilson. This was in January or February that he was en gaged to her, and meant to marry her. He showed me a pile of letters, and said they were hers. Mr. CROWD= addressed the jury for the defence. Ha contended that there was no evidence from which the jury could infer a solemn contract to marry, and that the present by the plaintiff to the defendant of the china image after she must have felt that the defendant's attentions had ceased, showed that she was rather inclined to treat the whole mat ter as a joke. Mr. Baron - ROLFE having very minutely summed up the evidence to the jury, they immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 5001. 'LANE. i 7. FOALE. Mr. Crowder, Mr. Butt, and Mr. Cornish conducted the case for the plaintiff • and Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Barstow that of the defendant. This was an action brought to recover compensation in damages for slanderous words used by the defendant of and concerning the plaintiff. It appeared that the plaintiff was the son of a clergyman, who had lived at Kingsbridge, and the defendant kept the principal hotel in that town. For some time between 1840 and 1843 the plaintiff had lived in the defendant's hotel. After he had left the defendant's house, that peison said of him that. he had been guilty of an abominable crime. The plaintiff, in the year 1844, brought an action against the defendant for that slander ; when the case came into court at Exeter at that time Mr. Cock burn, who was counsel for the defendant, made a public re tractation of the charge, and accompanied it by an apology, and an arrangement was made by which a verdict passed for the plaintiff for 40s. damages, and the defendant was to pay 30/. towards extra costs. Some time after the settlement of that action the defendant repeated the imputation. The pre- - sent action was therefore brought. Mr. Sergeant KIN GLARE, on behalf of the defendant, said that the character of the plaintiff had been folly vindicated by the apology made on the former trial, and that, atter the subsequent repetition of the offensive words, the plaintiff timid have put forth to the world that apology. The. Learned Sergeant then called upon the jury, under these cir cumstance., to give very moderate damages. Mr. Baron ROLFE summed up the case to the jury, ob serving that in such a matter he thought they should not be niggardly in awarding damages. Surely the plaintiff was not, upon a repetition of tile slander, to be put to the ex pense and trouble of publishing the apology made by another person for the defendant; but, notwithstanding the former etractation, he had not to-day heard one expression of refire t or retractation used. The question alone was the amount of damages, and that was the peculiar province of the jury t) decide; but - he thought it a case calling for liberal damages. The' jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 300/. • until Saturday. I hope you will go back as SOOll as possible. I beg of von to do so t; - ,r 7-nur own eeke. 1) t , not mind. I love, wheat people do say and talk. You knew that people I cannot but say one thing to-day and another to-morrow ; therefore I trust you will, dearest, scorn a hat they say, and believe what I say, Os Ido what you say." He concludes, " excuse my bad writing in great haste; hoping you and Tom are well, I remain yours sincerely, for ever, Wm. Wira.taate." The Learned Counsel proceeded to state that it was impos sible to doubt that thronaliont this correspondence, and sub sequently, the defendant had expressed the most ardent at tachment to the plaintiff. On the bth of March the child alluded to in the correspondence died. The defendant's grief was most poignant ; lie wrote the inscription for the coffin himself ; wished tire plaintiff's family to go in mourning. He visited plaintiff's father's house nine days afterwards, but for some reason known only to himself, since fart time he bad shut himself up in the house, and would see. neither the plaintiff nor any of her relations. Whether he thought that the child being dead, three le ould be no danger of an order of affiliation, or whether he was influenced by any other rea eon, he (the learned Counsel) could not say. Mr. Williams core an address of much feeling, by contrasting the present condition of the plaintiff with what. it would have been as the wife of a-clergyman of the Church of England, had the de fendant not violated Ms promise. He hoped the jury would give damaees proportionate to the serious injury inflicted on the plaintiff's feelings and reputation. Mary Owen, the plaintiff's eldest sister, • an interesting Welsh girl, was then examined through the medium of--an interpreter. She could speak English. but preferred Welsh, Her evidencefully bare out the statement of the Learned Coun sel respecting repeated promises of marriage ; defendant's conduct during her sister's confinement ; his theory of mar riage in the right of God, &c., to the close and decline of his attentions. It appeared he was in expectation of a benefice, and for some time gave that as a reason for the postponement of the marriage. A postman was called to prove the delivery of several let ters from plaintiff to defendant ; and another witness deposed to some unimportant circumstances. Mr. CHILTON, Q.C., then addressed the jury in mitigation of damages. He had aeldom addressed a jury under a greater sense of the difficulty of his task, and the responsibility im posed upon him. lie did not appear there to deny the main facts of the case, nor to excuse the defendant's conduct. The case had teen presented to the jury in a very specious and highly coloured mannet. It would appear from the opening that the plaintiff was a young woman of very respectable attainments, but it turned cut that her education was of the very commonest kind, until defendant had placed her in school. in no way adapting her for a clergyman's wife. In deed, she could hardly have been said to possess any educa tion. The defendant's expression respecting marriage in the sight of God had not heee used as the language of solicita tion, as opened by the Learned Counsel, but as language of palliation and remorse, after having done what he knew to have been wrong and unholy. No evidence had been given as to defendant's property. The defendant well knew he had no benefice. If the jury awarded heavy damages it would be tantamount to blighting all the future prospects of the defendant. The Learned Jcnun having minutely and concisely summed up the evidence, the jury, after a short deliberat on, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 1001. damages. This concluded the assizes here, and the Learned Judge left for Brecon on Saturday morning. - YORK, MAsen 23. STOCK EXCHANGE.—The sales are—Eastern Counties.

In the Handicap, the favourite's defeat rather surprised me, as he was by far the most favourably weighted hors in the race, and ought, from his previous runni-g at Coventry, to have defeated Godfrey with great ease. Of Goafrey's per formance I shall merely observe, that good as my opinion of him has always been, I did not conceive with the lumping weight_ B.A. 121 b., he could have occupi?d the place in the race he did ; and in conclusion remark that, to use a theatri , ral phraee, " he never appeared to a greater advantage than he aid on the present cccas•ian.'' The NorChantptou Sp,ring meeting commences to-morrow with a stronger programme than instal, and, from the facili ties of access all prdtd by the Birmingham Railway, will be no doubt, strongly patron:s , 2,d by London sportsmen.

It will be, we imagine, a tine race between the two, but after Godfrey winning with Bst. 121 b. 114 easily at War wick, on Wednesday, with his lasting qualities, and a stone less upon him, I mast say think his chance the best. But tress will, no doubt, struggle and obtain a good place. Zen thus and Yardley both like courses half a mile shorter than this one. In the Open Stakes, if I stot-al upoa any single horse, it would be upon Lord George Bentinck'a Coal Black Rose, of whose doings at Goodwood last year I have a favourable recollection. Nineteen horses are named for the Cup, but the field, I c , .nceive, will be neither numerous or select.

He will meet at the post with little opposition.

TIMES. — In the discount market everything like a pres sure has completely disappeared, and notwithstanding the large sums that still lie in the Bank of England to the credit of the Accountant. General, trade seems to be relieved from all embarrassment, and the subject of railway deposits ceases to be a prominent topic. The discount firms give their cus tomer?, considerably less for money than during last month. The judicious conduct of the Bank of England, in affording liberal accommodation to the commercial classes, has been chiefly instrumental in producing this favourable condition of affairs. Correspondents complain in no measured terms of the irre gularity and absurdity of the Standing Orders Sub-commit tees, which are accused of want of uniformity in their deci. alone. If a railway is projected through a district which does not require the ascommodation, and no opposition company petitions against it, the Bill passes die standing orders as a matter ot . course. however flagrant may he the lyeache3 of non-compliance; but if the district be an important one, and two or three rival cony:atilies stem t for it, the meet trum pery cv.e.s are raked up, ang it not unfrequently occurs that what is considered in one room as frivoioug and vexatious proves in the rOjAning one fatal to the progress of the Bill. This, it is said, can be the best illustrated by the case of the West Union Railway, which, after an expenditure of 200,000!. and two years' lasi; of time, has been thrown out, because the paper in the progress of lithography had con tracted, and so disagreed with the figure 3 set forth upon it. 7 ,Vtief.her these facts are accurately sated or not, we cannot vouch, but we must confess to haying heard general corn phinti, of the system of enthrinz standing orders rigidly when awe are several competing lines, as in that caS4 merits of :ceommodation, traffic., or route, may be imper fectly developed from the circumstance of the exclusion of one or more of them be a frivolous point of non-compliance with the forms of the House. The promoters of several of the defunct schemes of railway are perseveringly following un allottees for their proportion of expensss, but it would seem with very little success, it we may judge from the austere tone of some of the circulars sent to the different parties. One transmitted by a corres pond'nt states, that " the Committee have come to the de , termination of enforcing from those allottees who really possess the means to pay and refuse, and to post those who, come under the denomination of stags." Net satisfied with this kindly intimation, theattorney whosends a lithographed. communication charges ss. for his letter, and states that un less the amount demanded and this fee are paid into his hands within four days from the date specified, the Com mittee will at once proceed against defaulters- Law in this shape becomes rather expensive, and a bill of costs would soon swell under so speedy a process. We, however, hope that neither the attorney nor the promoters will find many persons respond to their call. A correspondent states, that having to make a payment in the country through the medium of one of the branches of the Bank of England, he took a cheque to the bank counter (in London) and desired it to be remitted. As it was three o'clock, the clerk informed him that it was too late to advise the branch on the same day. To make the case stronger, it should be added, that the cheque was not drawn on any dis tant establishment, but on the Bank of England itself. Surely a practice like this is hardly consistent with a regard to public convenience. The acting committee of the associated body of West India planters and merchants have just printed their report, giving the full particulars of the measures pursued as best calculated to restore the cultivation and prosperity of the West India colonies. It appears from this document that since the final emancipation of the negroes the production of sugar has gradually increased from the lowest return of 107,000 tons to 142,000 tons, but yet at the same time great loss has accrued to the proprietors, and others interested in the cultivation of the estates, in consequence of the increased expenditure for labour, &c. The committee express their opinion on the recent schemes of immigration, fled give other information, which will no doubt prove acceptable to West India pro prietors and planters at large. - ASTIToN.—ADVANCE OF WAGES.—The joiners, and others connected with the building trades in this town, fol lowing the example of the trades in Manchester, have given notice for an advance of 6 d. per da y , which they demand from the 4th of April next. COLLISION ON THE BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—On Sa• turday evening the up mixed train, which left Birmingham at 45 minutes past five, met with an accident of a formidable n e ture, but which did not, fortunately, cause loss of life or lime' to any one. Everything went on well until the train had pissed the Cheddington•station, but on entering a deep cutting about two miles from Tring, the train came in vio lent collision with three luggage waggons, which were most u naccountai,ly left standing on th e r ails. Most of the pas sengers were Orown off their seats, and as soon as they re covered from the shock, many of them got out and scrambled up the cutting, as there w as g reat fear of the express. train coming up and dashing the other train to pieces. The guards, d°l" h owever , immediately dispatched men both p and f or tunately the line with sign:els to stop it, and in this they succeeded.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CHICUIT.—Derby, March 18,19, and 20 DOE DEL THORNHILL V. THORNHILL. • This action was brought to recover possession of what is called the 011erenshaw eatate situated near Chapel- en- le- Frith, claimed under the will of the late \V. Thornhill, Esq. The counsel for the lessor of the plaintiff were Mr. 'Win frey, Q.C., Mr. Waddington, end Mr. Haynes • for the de fendant, Mr. Cockburn, (s.c. (specially retained), Mr. White hurst, Q.C., and Mr. Wildman. Mr. HUMFRIKY, in substance, stated the case as follows: — The plaintiff, Mr. Walter Thornhill, resides in London, carry ing on trade there; the defendant is Mr. Jonathan Thornhill, the brother of the testator, their common ancestor being one Joseph Thornhill, who resided at Wardlow, in this county. The older branch going to London, the families became sepa rated, and knew not each other for years but by repute. The testator was apprenticed to an uncle at Stockport, as a currier, as was also the present defendant, and to their uncle's business they ultimately succeeded. The twitter was a penurious man and had saved a considerable fain of money. He was also an eccentric man, In 1822, he purchased the 011erenshaw estate, consisting of 170 acres, for which he paid 8,0001. In 1830, he retired from business, and went to reside on the property, and continued so to do until his death. The mind of the testator was swayed by two motives, penury and os tentation. lie was at the same time kind to the poor, but here his love of money showed itself, for though engaging large numbers of them when out of employ, he would, ne vertheless, give them the smallest wages he could: The tes tator was in the habit of corresponding with hla relatives in London, that is, with the father of the present plaintiff; and ids family, and on ene occasion he went with them to seethe Melts," such as the Parliament Houses, the Opera House, tee. It would appear that, having risen flan a humble sta - ion, hie chief obi et wan to found a fitted.) , name, and nu leing, in the year 1839, married, an-1 11i5 brothet, the :labs. lout, having only thite daughters, whilst the plaintiff, young Mr. Thornhill, liath two or three sons, tie leacame atten- ive to him, and in a letter to the father of the plahttifr, he speaks of Mr. Walter as " Ilia good son Walter;" he also mentions that his hrother has only daughters, and if he (the testator) did not marry, he should like to show some respect to the name of Thornhill. The testator belonged to a religious sect calico " The New Methodist Connection," who have some peculiar notions as to the world beyond the grave, and like the Puri tans and Covenanters in former times, are very strict in their religious notions. , In 1839 the testator married a Mise Bar. Jew, the daughter of a widow lady, at ivhose, death 13he Would inherit near 10,0001. Quarrels arose between them ; while just a year at:er the marriage a charge was made by one of . the female domestics against tier master of .aft attempt at rape. The deceased always protested his innocence, and attributed the making of the charge to a con spiracy between his wife and the girl. It would appear no settlement was made at the marriage, and all the testator got was a bad debt, in the shape of an old note for 3001., which Mrs. Barlow, knowing his penurious habits, and that if any body could get the money he would, banded to him, and ha did squeeze out of the party 1001. On one occasion the lady having a legacy of 2501. left to her, she, accom panied by her husband, went to receive it. She signed her name to the receipt paper, but the husband refirsed to sign his own until he had got the money. She contended it was hers, he took the contrary side of the question, and a scene of recrimination took place, which ended in her scratching her name through, and they left without the money. In consequence of these disagreements, the wife, on two occasions, left her husband's borne, and only re turned shortly before his death, which took place on the 7th of May, 1845. On the 25th of March, 1845, he made his will, giving the estate in question to the lessor of the plaintiff. He also left a large sum for the building of a chapel, and made his brother, the defendant, a residuary legatee, Which'in effect was giving him the bulk of his pro perty, but cutting off his wife with 5/. ; alleging in his will her misconduct towards him as the reason why he had done so. The intention of doing something for the plaintiff was shown to have been in the testator's mind long before making his wilt, for in a letter written shortly afta his marriage he says, he has not "much hopes of a family, and in failure of one I do intend to think well of you." In that letter his love of ostention broke out, for he states his house is forty-two yards long, and in order to give it an im posing appearance the stables were in the middle, and to save in taxes no room bad more than one window. Mr. Humfrey then read several letters from the testator to his relation in town. We insert the following as showing his political opinions :—" As respects politics, we in this country beLeve that Peel has been called to the head of the National Assembly to rescue it from total destruction, which ten years of bad policy and misgovernment have well nigh effected. As for Cobden, I was on the hustings at Stock port when he first offered himself a candidate for the bo rough, but lost his election, my brother being returning officer, as mayor. He (Cobden) is very malicious, and of fiend-like passions, and therefore if he should do any good it will be by misadventure.—(Loud laughter.) You ask if there is not a deal of distress ? I answer in the affimative. How must is be otherwise when neither our home or foreign trade are protected. Look at the home trade of lace, silk, and gloves. By the admission of French articles of this descrip tion, those mechanics who used to earn 20s. now get ;but and not employment for them at that. Woodstock, in Ox fordshire, for gloves, is quite ruined ; Coventry for ribbon; -Nottingham for lace ; and look at Spitalfields and other places for silk ; and in Sheffield, Russian cutlery and German saws are sold at 30s. per cwt. under English. Now trade is bank rupted agriculture must be so too—American cheese at sd. equal to English at 7d. Consider all foreign nations under the idea of single men in lodgings, and English tradesmen as householders who have rent and taxes to pay. Would it be right to have all householders out of home to live in caves and under hedges? Need we a.ik how a river is dried up when its sources are dried away ?" The Learned Counsel then went on to detail the circususi antes under which the will was witnessed, and t o remar k upon the insanity that was intended to be set up, citi ng cases to show, however eccentric or even insane a man might b e on any particular point, yet, if l ie was sane with reference to the disposition he was making of Isis property, the will would stand good. The great body of evidence adduced on the part of the plaintiff went to show that, however eccentric the testator alight be bocce .austter4 cli ;41. believiogigclr eats6l4 SOUTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Carmarthen, March 21. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIONTMAN.) BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE AND SEDUCTION. OWEN V. WILLIAMS, CLERIC. In -this action,- Margaret Owen was the plaintiff, and the Rev. William Williams defendant ; and the action was brought by plaintiff to recover compensation in damages from the defendant, for the non-fulfilment on his part of a promise to marry her. Mr. E. V. Williams, and Mr. E. L. Richards, appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Chilton, Q.C., and Mr. Wilson, for the defendant, who pleaded that he had not promised to marry plaintiff, in the form and manner stated. Mr. V. WILLIAMS addressed the jury on the part of the plaintiff, who he said was the daughter of a person in a humble though respectable condition in life, carrying on business as a farmer and master carrier, near Lampeter, Car diganshire, The defendant was a clergyman of the Church of England, residing near Lampeter, and about five miles distant from the place -where the plaintiff's father re sided. "'The plaintiff had the misfortune to lose her mother at a very early age, and the management and care of the family had been left to Mary Owen, plaintiff's eldeq sister. The family consisted of three sisters, besides plaintiff, as well as two brothers ; and the plaintiff and another sister were engaged as confidntial servants in respectable families in the neighbourhood, The plaintiff at the age of seventeen was employed in the family of a gentleman named Davies ; subsequently in that of a medical gentleman named Thomas, and in 1843 she was engaged by the defendant's brother, who was a bachelor, in a confidential capacity, as a housekeeper, having the entire management of his household, the disposal of farm produce, &sc. It was here she first met the defen dant. The plaintiff, then about twenty years of age, was, unfortunately for herself, a young woman of considerable personal attractions, and she was not long be fore the defendant became enamoured with her charms. He was a few years older than • the plain tiff, and had then taken orders only as a deacon, but not priest's orders. He continued paying marked and constant attentions to her until the spring of 1844, when she became pregnant. The defendant, upon being made ac quainted with the fact, so far from being disappointed or surprised, expressed the greatest pleasure i and said that he would marry her, but also expressed a wish to delay it for a time, alleging that the circumstance of his marrying a woman in that condition might prove an impediment to his obtaining priest's orders. He (defendant) therefore proposed that the plaintiff should take private lodgings at some dis tance in the country, he (defendant) offering to pay all ex pensee, to provide an attendant, &c. Soon afterwards he met the plaintiff 'a sister, and communicated to her the cir cumstances, when she was of course extremely shocked at the intelligence. The defendant, with a view of alleviating her grief, assured her that he would marry the plaintiff, adding, " We are already married in the sight of .Gre:l, and what takes place in the church is unimportant, being merely a matter of form 'before men." Could it be wondered at that a girl placed in the plaintiff's situation, when addressed in such language by a clergy man of the Church of England, had given way to temp• union ? Could 'it be wondered at that in an hour of weakness her virtue had not been sufficiently strong to resist his importunities? Fur some reasoes, hirwever, the proposed arrangements bad been abandoned, aed the plain iff in August, 1814, was delivered of a son in her father's house. During the time of her confinement the defendant repeatedly visited her, and expressed as much pleasure as :ley man owniu large possessions would on the birth-of an heir apparent. he evinced great tenderness, and on the occa sion brought her a copy of Welsh verses written by himeelf, a literal prose translation of which he begged to read to the jury. [The Learned Counsel here read the verses, a speci men of which is given below, and which excited some mer riment from the quaintness of the plira , eology.t Tho plain tiff's education had not been such as to qualify her to inter mix with. sncletee in.a. creoVable, manner, as a elegyinan's wife. The defendant therefore proposed at Itie should go to school at Aberystwith, and, in order to enable him to cor respond with her without the mistress knowing that she had a pupil carrying on such a correspondence, he addressed her as his cousin, although it was well known that the plaintiff and defendant bore no blood relationship towards each other. The following is a specimen of the prose translation of the Welsh poetry, written by defendant on the occasion of plain tiff's confinement : "Dearest Margaret—Be not grieved ; better times than these will come again, when you and myself shall be quite light-hearted. Many times I have sorrowed and groaned heavily, because I bad been the instrument to grieve you, my darling. The only comfort I can give you is to leve and cherish you after having united our hands. . . . For all who behave unkindly to thee, my dear, there yet remains misfortune, woe, anguish, and long sorrow, with very great repentance. above everything, is to comfort thee. Therefore raise up thy heart and be again full merry Mar g 'ret ! Margret Diarg'retl Margret I—(Laughter.) In me thou hest put thy trust ; trust again for a while." The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read the first letter of defendant to plaintiff after her arrival at school. The fol- lowing are extracts : " My deat‘Cousin,--Nothing but the sight of you, and talking to you face to face, can be a greater pleasure to the than writing to you. It is most pleasing that lam able to make known to you that all your relatives are in health, especially your most dear love, Thomas James Williams. I will pay you a visit before long; all with whom I converse about you give you extraerdinary praise, by commending you more and more, and stating many good qualities you possees, while I listen to them with delight, as I always do to hear my relatives praised, especially you, my dearest cousin , Mar garet. I can never make known half my love to you, were Ito write a year. . . Ido hope, for the sake of your dear lover, that you do not make any acquaintance, in the shape of love with any one, as that would be the perfect breaking of the treaty of your dearest." The Thomas James Williams alluded to in the above, as in several other letters, was the plaintiff's child, whom ale de fendant had called after his own name. The manner in which he is spoken of was undoubtedly used to blind the schoolmistress. Two other letters followed, in which the defendant expressed the most ardent affection towards the plaintiff, and made the most affectionate reference to the child. Its another letter, dated January 8, 1845, the plain tiff,gives the defendant some news of the courtship going on in the neighbourhood, and the information conveyed was anything but chaste or, delicate. In reference to the plain tiff's child, he writes:—" I cannot possibly conclude without saying that your dear love, Tom James Williams, Esq., is doing well; he is getting fat, and begins to grow red. I suppose he drinks hard—(Much laughter)—you will not be able to know him when you next see him. He becomes a bigoted gentleman like his papa. I shall write a long letter soon again ; believe me to remain your ever affectionate Cousin, W." Several additional letters were read, all breathing the most ardent affection ; but (observed the Learned Counsel) the jury would perceive, that although he had promised to visit the plaintiff at Aberystwith, he had never done so— she consequently walked a very long distance for the purpose of meeting him. In a letter written by the defendant subse quent to this, he expressed regret that she should have un dergone so much fatigue. She appeared to have suffered in health. In his last letter, dated Feb.B. 1845, defendant writes :—" I am very sorry to hear you have been unwell, but with feelings of tender love I sincerely hope you have recoverPd from your illness, and are quite as well as ever.
