The arguments on this appeal were concluded to-day, and Their Lordships gave judgment reversing the decision of the Court below. THE EARL OF HOPETOUN V. RAMSAY. This case was postponed to Thursday next, on the applica tion of the counsel for the appellant, who consented to pay the costs of the day. SECONDARIES COURT, March 20. There was only one case in the list, which was for work done, it was undefended, but the witnesses not being in at tendance the case stood over till one o'cicck. It was not of the slighest interest. THE QUEEN V. THE ESTATE OF JONES. This was an inquiry on a writ diem clauset extremen, directed to the Sheriffs of Lom?on to ascertain whether the said Henry Thomas Jones, o f Sudbury, Suffolk, was alive or dead, and if dead, when and where he died, and of what property he was possessed at the time of his death, within the Bail wick of the Sheriffs of London. The Solicitor to the Excise said that this proceeding was similar to a writ of extant, at the suit of the Crown ; but Jones, the debtor, who was dead., being in arrear for malt duties to the amount of 1,0331. l Os. Ild. A witness was called, who proved that the deceased, H. T. Jones, committed suicide in one of his own malthouses, at Sudbury, on the 4th inst. Mr. J. E. Whittle, one of the officers of the Sheriff's of London, proved the seizure of 125 quarters of malt, at the premises of Messrs. Randall and Co., corn-factors at Queen lithe, on the 7th inst. Mr. Charles Randall, on being desired to value the malt at a low price, valued it at 48s. per qr. for 121 qrs. of good ; and 455. for 4 qrs. damages; he had a claim of 14/.lls. Bd. for freight and warehouse-room. The jury gave a verdict for 3001. ASSIZE IN TEL LIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT, Lewes, March 19. William Freelove, 29, and John Purfitt, alias Perfect, 26, were indicted for feloniously removing 80Ibs. of indigo, value 201., the property of Vander Vandermulen. In other counts of the indictment it was stated that the property in question had been cast ashore from a wrecked vessel, and that the prisoners unlawfully kept possession of it, and neglected to deliver it up to the ser geant of the . Admiralty, who was duly empowered to take it on behalf of the owners of the vessel, and which neglect is make felony by special statute. In some other counts, the property was said to belong to her Mejesty and to the Duke of Wellington, as Warden of the Cinque Ports. Mr. Horne conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Cob bett appeared for the prisoners. It appeared from the evidence that on the 28th of December last, a Dutch Indiaman, called the Twee Corndlissen, was wrecked on the Sussex coast, near Hastings, and the vessel, which was laden with 550 chests of indigo, and other valuable articles, eventually went to pieces, and the cargo was washed ashore for several days afterwards, and considerable portions of it strewed the beach. Nearly four hundred of the boxes of indigo thus cane ashore, and it would appear that the prisoner Freelove had engaged a fly, and that he and Purfitt placed one of the boxes of indigo in it, and conveyed it to Hastings, at which place one of the men belonging to the preventive service interfered, and, sus pecting something was wrong, he took possession of the property, which turned out to have formed part of the cargo of the wrecked vessel. Mr. COBBETT took some technical objections to the indictment, but they were overruled, and the jury found Freelove guilty, and acquitted the other prigoner. Lord DENMAN sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for four months. William Binstead, the Post-office clerk, who was con victed on Tuesday of stealing a gold watch from a letter, was brought up for judgment, and sentenced to be transported for seven years. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Exeter, March 19. The commission was opened in this city yesterday by Mr. Baron Rolfe. The cause list presents a very small number of ,casas, but there aralwAiikis understood, relating to rail way provisional committees, and there is one case of breach of promise of marriage; so that, perhaps, the public may be more than commonly amused. The calendar has not more than an average number of delinquents. There are two cases of infanticide, and there is one of inciting another to murder. This - morning their Lordships attended divine service in the Cathedral, and then repaired to the Castle, Mr. Justice Erie presiding in the Crown Court, and Mr. Baron Rolfe sitting at Nisi Prius. _ _ Justice ERLE, in charging the grand jury, observed, that there were two cases of child-murder ; with regard to one of them, as far as he could judge, it did not contain any cogent evidence that the bruise upon the head of the child was inflicted intentionally by the mother. If there was not cogent evidence likely to lead to a conviction for murder, it would be much better that the solemn trial should not be had, and then there would be a bill presented for the con cealment of tilt. birth. There was a charge of inciting another to commit murder, and therefore he thought it probable that a bill would be put before them for murder. The party shot was a gamekeeper. The only observation he should make would be this —if they should be of opi nion that the accused person and the person who shot the deceased, together with others, were out for the common purpose of using fire-arms to attack the game keepers, he was of opinion that the firing of any one of the party so engaged in one common purpose would be the firing of all, and all persons engaged in that common purpose would be guilty of murder. They were to be satisfied that the prisoner accused of that crime was engaged in a common purpose with the man w h o fi re d t h e gun of using their fire arms against the keepers in case the keepers should come forwards. (-Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) William Wright and Charles Arnold were indicted for bur glariously breaking into the dwelling-house of Edward Frost, and stealing therefrom many articles, his property. Mr. Phinn conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Cox defended the prisoner Wright. On the 3d of August the prosecutor and his sister lived •together at a farm called Holcombe Farm, near Tiverton. They slept in one room. In the night they were awoke out of their sleep by a noise, and then they saw a li g ht, an d im mediately afterwards rnold entered the room. His face was blackened. Wright followed him with his face black ened. Arnold bad lived in the service of the prosecutor for six months. They took some things out of the room and went down stairs; and then Wright returned with a light in his hand. One of them struck the old man and cut his cheek. He begged him not to hurt him, and called out for mercy. The prisoners said " Life or money." The old man told them his money was in his breeches pocket. Arnold took it out, and then they said they wanted some blankets, and they took those which were on the old man's bed. Both the men had bludgeons. The men were in the house half an hour. The prosecutor gave a description of the men to the police, and Arnold was apprehended the same morning near the premises going to work. Arnold's shoes were compared with some marks of footsteps in the prosecu tor's garden, but he was at the house the day before as a servant. Arnold was seen near the spot at five o'clock on the, morning after the burglary had been committed. Ho was a farm labourer. Upon examining him there was the appear ance of lamp-black near his ear and on his hair, and in his pocket there was sonic lamp-black in a paper, and a bit of greasy tape, a box of Inciter matches, a fork, a clasp knife, and a gimlet. When Arnold's Ades were compared with the tracks he said those were his tracks, and that he had used the lamp-black to grease his boots at Wright's house. The door of the prosecutor's house had been broken, and b)iien Arnoldthat means w theas being robb exershaadminenedteraetd.thlet Town-hall, appeared that at w Tiverton, Wright entered the hall, and he was then pointed out by the prosecutor. Mr. Cox, for Wright, argued that the evidence of identity should always be looked at with strictness. Arnold, in hit! defence, said that the prosecutor had got it all up for spite, because he owed him wages. The jury wanted to ask the prisoners where they were, but The JUDGE said that was not the way the law was admi nistered in this country ; prisoners might state what they pleased, but they must not be asked any questions. The Learned JUDGE then summed up, and The jury Acquitted both the prisoners. NISI PRIUS COURT. _ _ _ Mr. Baron Rolfe very soon disposed of six out of the 15 causes, and the counsel having urged upon . his Lordship that they were not prepared to go further, he, evidently with great reluctance, consented to the other cases being postponed till the next morning, and he then tried some of the prisoners. _ March 20. The Learned Judge took his seat at nine o'clock. The first case called on was one respecting THE LIABILITY OF RAILWAY ALLOTTEES. WOOLMER AND MITERS V. TOBY. Mr. GREENWOOD opened the pleadings, and Mr. CROWDER, Q. C., stated the case. He said this was an action brought by the plaintiffs against the defendant, to recover damages for the breach of an agreement which the defendant had entered into. The amount of damages was 1051., that being the sum according to the agreement be tween the parties the defendant had undertaken to pay to the plaintiffs. The jury were all aware that when a bargain was entered into between two persons, or two sets of persons, it was to be kept, and if one broke the bargain, the law would come in and oblige him to fulfil his engagement. This action arose out of an agreement entered into with re ference to a railway company, and very likely many of the jury had heard, among other projects in the autumn of last year, there was a company called " the Direct Exeter and Plymouth Railway Company." It was a line of railway that was considered to be very favourable in all its parts— it was an economical line—a direct line—and one expected to be exceedingly serviceable to the county. Of that dpinion it would appear there was a very great number of persons who were anxious to be connected with this Company, and to have shares. Among others, Mr. J. Toby, the younger, who he believed was an attorney of this city, was an applicant to belong to this Company, and did apply to have shares in it, which shares were afterwards allotted to him by the mana ging directors of this Company; and when the shares were allotted, he refused to pay the depo3its ; and this action was brought, and the jury would be called upon by their verdict to give the plaintiffs theamount of damages asked. The Com pany was provisionally registered (as it was called), under the provisions of a particular Act of Parliament, and it was always necessary, in these matters, that a few should be selected as a committee, for the purpose of managing the affairs of the concern ; and it appeared that on the 7th of October, the persons who had been appointed to carry on this company, selected out of their body seven gentlemen, who were a committee of management. These seven gen tlemen were the plaintiffs upon the record, and they were, Edward Woolmer, Esq. (late Mayor of Exeter), Lieut.- Colonel Ellis, Major D'Urban, John Eyre Kingdon, Esq., B. Salter, Esq., W. H. T anner , E sq. , an d S . S . B astard, Esq.; all these gentlemen were living in and about Exeter, and were very fit to conduct this undertaking. On the 7th of October the affairs of management; were first entrusted to these gentlemen Shortly afterwards it was found that a great many applications for shares - were made, the appli cants numbering 721 persons. The capital required was a million, to be supplied by 40,000 shares of 25/. each, deposit 2/. 12s. 6d. on each share. At this time Mr. Toby sent this letter : TO THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE DIRECT EXETER AND PLYMOUTH RAILWAY. "I request you will allot me fifty shares of 25/. each in the above railway ; and I undertake to'accept the same, or such number as you may allot me, subject to the regulations of the Company, and to sign the necessary documents, and to pay, when required, the deposit of 21. 123. 6cl. per share." Nothing could be more clear than the terms in which the defendant wrote to have shares allotted, to him, and to pay the required deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. per share. No shares were immediately allotted, because it was necessary to see in what condition the Company were likelix..to be, and how the shares could be proportioned. All tlisie 'were matters for consideration. This letter was sent on the 13th of October. 1845. At that time it appeared there was a meeting ;'and it seemed from the great number of applicants that it would be a very thriving concern, and in all probability the matter be generally taken up. It was neces =ary there should be a survey of the line; and engineers were. appointed by a reso lution of the committee on the 13th os4.l'Ss rf October—the engineers being Mr. Red:maw-and anbther personfhr the purpose of surveying the line. On this occasion also it was necessary to have lawyers—always a necessary evil in such cases—who must prepare all the various Parliamentary contracts and other matters, and advertisements, in order that the public might be apprised of the undertaking. These persons were appointed ; and he believed all these gentlemen, and all the other officers of the Company, were persons of the highest respectability, and he defied his Learned Friends (Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Montague Smith) to bring any proof of this being a bubble, or of being only established fur individual gain. It was a bona fide Company, supposed to have an exceedingly good line, which would be beneficial to the country. The soli citors were Messrs. Woollcombe and Square of Plymouth, and Mr. blond of Exeter. Of course, expenses were in cuffed ; and the jury would remark that before any engineers were employed, and before any expenses were incurred, the gentlemen who acted as the provisional com mittee of management took care to be perfectly sure, by the number of persons who applied for shares, there would be plenty of funds to meet their engagements, because the jury would know, now that railways bad been carried out to so great an extent, all these things were attended with an enormous expense. Those expenses must be paid ; and it' was on the faith of the people subscribing on making appli cation for shares, that the committee were induced to incur these expenses. There did come some panic. The parti cular period of the panic he did not know, but it took place during the latter end of last autumn, and had operated during the winter. But subsequently to the proceedings he had narrated, on the 15th of December, the allotment was made, and the defendant received a letter, which allotted to him not the whole of the 50 shares, but 40 shares. The letter was sent in the ordinary form, and was signed by Mr. Farrant, the secretary ; and it informed Mr. Toby that the deposit of 2/. 12s. 6d. on each share, must be paid on or before the 20th of December then current. The letter also stated that the plans and sections had been deposited in order to go to Parliament in the ensuing session. This was quite true. This letter being sent, the Learned Counsel contended that there was a distinct agreement and a complete bargain entered into ;-36,000 shares were allotted, and the de fendant became bound to pay the deposits allotted to him. Out of the number of shares allotted, very few persons indeed paid any deposits, leaving the provisional com mittee, who had incurred these considerable expenses, without the means of paying for them ; for he should tell them that the expenses incurred amounted to upwards of 6,0001.; but if the parties had paid their deposits, there would have been ample funds, but without these payments there were no funds whatever. Mr. Toby, jun., seemed to have set himself against the Company ; the Learned Counsel did not know whether he was at the head of this opposition or not, but he was informed that there was a club or union of all those persons who had not paid their deposits, and they defended this action, and were determined to defeat, by every means in their power, the claims of the provisional committee, because to all these persons it was most important that this action should fail. Everything which had been done had shown that the gentlemen who had consented to conduct the affairs of this Company without remuneration, had been only anxious to do their duty to the public. A circular was sent round to the allottees ; and this was done with the best possible motive, in order that if the project should not proceed further, they should obtain in. demnity for the expenses incurred. This circular was sent round on the 31st of December to the defendant ; in this it was stated that the committee of management had undertaken to pay 3s. on 200 shares each, and the provi sional committee 3s. on 100 shares each, and the allottees evFe j appiiedto f,,r 3s n the shau? allotted to them.:fo this no reply Was received - 6 Le — arned Counsel, In conclusion, said, the pleas of the defendant amounted only to a denial that any agreement was entered into ; on one of these pleas, that assuming that an agreement was entered into, but re presenting that the defendant had been induced to make it on account of fraud on the part of the plaintiffs, the Learned Counsel commented with much severity. The letter of Mr. Toby applying for shares having been put in, Mr. Granby Farrant, secretary to the Direct Exeter and Plymouth Company was examined, and proved some of the facts detailed by Mr. Crowder. This witness was subjected to a long cross-examination by Sergeant Kinglake, and it appeared that he had not produced some prospectuses which he had been subpoenaed to bring with him ; and the Learned Judge said if this was so, he might be proceeded against. Witness stated that no Parliamentary contract or scrip was prepared, as it would have added considerably to the expenses. Sergeant KINGLAKE objected that the committee of management was a committee of management for the Com pany, and that there was no contract entered into by Mr. Toby with that committee. If there had been a contract, the committee of management were not the parties to sue. The JUDGE said he would reserve the point. Sergeant KINGLAKE then contended that there had been a change in the provisional directors after the application, and before the allotment had been made ; and that, there fore, there could be no contract between the defendant and them. It was a different scheme now to what it was before. He contended that there was evidence that the committee of management itself was changed; and if that were over ruled, it would be sufficient that the provisional directors were changed ; and the defendant was only bound to take shares in the Company as it was when he applied. He also argued that Mr. Toby had applied to take shares in a scheme of 40,000 shares, which meant that 40,000 shares should be allotted. Here 40,000 had not been allotted, and the con dition on the part of the Company had not been carried out; and the defendant was not bound to pay his deposit, except in a scheme in which 40,000 shares had been allotted. If the defendant had paid his deposit, and the whole shares bad not been allotted, he would be entitled, as in the case of Hodgson against Spottiswoode, to receive the whole back without any deduction for expenses. He also took a techni cal objection to the declaration, on the ground that it set out that the defendant had agreed to pay the deposit on the 20th of December, whereas his letter of application stated his readiness to do so when required. The JUDGE was of opinion that this was the proper form of averment under the c i rcumstances. Sergeant KINGLAKE, in continuation, contended there had been no allotment of shares, as shares could only exist after the Act of Parliament had been obtained, whereas this must be treated as *an abandoned scheme, in which the ~ projectors could not r ecover a s i x pence. Ha contended that if the jury sh ou ld b e o f o pi n ion the allotment was properly made to the d e f en d an t, the damages should be 31 the proportion of 3s. per shire for the expenses, and not 105/. The JUDGE said he would reserve the points, and give Sergeant Kinglake leave to move for a nonsuit in the court above. Mr. Farrant was recalled, and it appeared that Mr. Berkeley and Mr. Tombs withdrew from the provisi ona l committee between the periods of the application and the allotment, but no public notification was made of their with- drawal. Sergeant KLNGLAKE then addressed the jury, and con tended that the allotment was not made within a reasonable time after the application. He denied that any club had been formed for the purpose of defending the case. He said it was not impossible that if the shares had risen in the market during the interval which bad elapsed, Mr. Toby would never have heard of any shares being allotted to him, and that the provisional committee would have taken them all themselves, and the profits would have gone into their pockets. But as it happened that a panic took place, the shares were only allotted after the scheme had been virtually abandoned, in order to get the money for the expenses from the pockets of the allottees. Mr. CROWDER, in reply, said that the remarks of his Learned Friend might as well have been spared, as the evi ev and bona fid e ra il way deuce which had been produced by his Learned F r i en d i n th e cross - exa mination of Mr. Farrant, clearly proved that if Company. Everyad been elicited by er his Learned Friend proved this fact, and he b a d f a il e d t o fi n d scheme,t h e re e it was w as a the genuine, Di Direct circumstanceet h ounxosutrear which b and Plymouth Railway bl any one point in which he could show misrepresentation or collusion. The JUDGE said it was impossible to call the interval be fore the allotment an unreasonable time. There were 40,000 shares to be allotted, and applications were received f rom 721 people. It was true that 40,000 shares had nhotadbeetnakaelnlotntiends, goN b v u et t ekt 3 hs 6 r , ao 4 bu 6 az G aht s ii l t i t a in r l e tl s ess h ess a tm a i m , sd a e.

The last of the criminal cases was tried last night, and to day both of the Learned Judges have been engaged in the trying of causes, a large amount of which still remain undis posed of. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) NAYLOR V. EILERITON.—SEDUCTIoN. The plaintiff in this action is John Naylor, a stonemason, residing at Merrick ; the defendant, Richard Ellerton, is a farmer and owner of landed property, livin g at t h e same place. The action was brought to recov er compensation in damages for the seduction, by the defendant, of the plaintiff's daughter, Ellen Naylor. The defendant had pleaded not guilty; an d a l so a second plea, that of leave and license from the plaintiff. Mr. Dundas and Mr. Addison appeared as enamel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Bli ss f or t h e de fendant. Mr. DUNDAS stated that the defendant, who lived in the same neighbourhood as the plaintiff in this action, was a far mer, supposed to be of considerable property, a n d h a d th oug h t proper to seek the acquaintance of the plaintiff's daughter.

PRICE SD. MARCH 21, 1846. The plaintiff was in a station more humble, but his family were people of respectability in character and conduct ; and it would be shown that the plaintiff, during his acquaintance with the daughter, had always represented that his object was to marry her. He had repeatedly promised so to do ; but he had not only broken that promise, but betrayed, and subsequently deserted her. Ellen Naylor, the daugh ter of plaintiff, was now eighteen, and was only about fourteen at the time the acquaintance commenced. She had become pregnant in the summer of 1844, and early in last year had a still-born child. That child, she said, was the child of defendant. The defendant had denied that he had debauched the child of the plaintiff. But he had farther pleaded that which was singularly shock ing, for it was this, that he had leave and license of the girl's father to do that of which the father by this action now complained, that he had effected the ruin of the daughter with her own father's connivance ! If even that were the fact, he (Mr. Dundas) would ask what kind of man must this be who could defend the action by a plea containing such an admission against himself? He challenged the de fendant to support that plea by evidence, and would only beg of the jury to attend to the proof which should appear before them, to judge of the defendant's conduct and of his defence as it might appear, and then to give those damages which they should consider just in such a case. The plaintiff's daughter, Ellen Naylor, now eighteen years of age, was the principal witness examined. She stated that her father was only a journeyman in the trade of stonemason • that he had one o th er c hild, a d aughter, older than herself, who had been out at service, and that she herself was now eighteen years of age. The witness was dressed in a style more than neat, for it might be called genteel, so that she would not have been taken for the daughter of a journeyman stonemason. She stated that the residence of her father at Merrick was about seven miles from Richmond. They had dwelt there two years and a half. They before lived at Downham, three miles off; and at the latter place they were tenants of a cottage belonging to the defendant, or his mother, in which there were but two rooms, one up stairs and one_ de, se e.eTlefeeeleimdant, tteey•were at Down figiVnTea a. on half a mile from them, with his mother and sister. She first got acquainted with the defendant at Downham, and then she was only about fourteen years of age. She considered him a gentleman of rank. He held a farm of his own. He was about thirty-four or thirty-five years of age. Half a year after she had come to live at Downham, defendant came to visit at their house. He used to come frequently, as often as four or five times in a week. He was her suitor, and her father and mother knew it. He alwayS said he would marry her. He said, however, that he had an uncle, an elderly man, Dr. Ellerton, who was a clergyman, who had a great deal of money, and that he wished not to marry until after his uncle's death. Plaintiff had no servant but witness herself. Had a child in February, 1845, and defendant was the father of that child. Upon cross-examination, the witness said she first became acquainted with the defendant when on her way to the mar ket at Marsk. Defendant then "threw himself in her way," in a lane, accompanied her to the market, and back again. They were acquainted for two years and a half before any thing improper took place between them. That first took place in the month of June, 1845, when she was going on the North Sides from Merrick. It was in a wood ; but cannot say what time of day. Thinks it was after dinner. De fendant took her into that wood. Witness has gone with her mother into the same wood to pick sticks, but never left her mother when so engaged to walk away with the defendant for an improper purpose. The same intimacy had taken place between her and defendant in plaintiff's house. Her father and mother were from home on every one of those occasions ; and her sister was always at service, except for a fortnight. The sister, when at home, slept with witness, and they both slept in the same room with plaintiff and his wife. The defend ant's mother did giie plaintiff notice to quit the cottage in 1844. Mr. Lodge called to give the notice; but he did not state that Mrs. Ellerton did that from her son being " har boured" in their house. Witness has worked for defendant. Has worked at hay-making, stone-picking, and hoeing tur nips. The boa now worn by her was given to her by Miss Lambert, the daughter of the clergyman. Her bonnet she had had three weeks, and her scarf a week, and her gown was a new one. Believes that her aunt, the plaintiff's sister, once spoke to witness's mother on the impropriety of the de fendant's visits. There was a Mrs. Matilda Wilson, another relative of the plaintiff, but does not know that she remon strated against them. The defendant once came to the house on horseback, and her mother held his horse for five or ten minutes while he was within; but she did not lead the horse up and down; and the plaintiff was inside the house all the while that defendant remained, and in his company. In the hay season of 1844 Joseph Tackson was at her uncle Wil son's, and witness was there also, but she does not remember Jackson throwing her down in the hay-field and kissing her. Defendant never sent plaintiff any present, except once, and that was of a. hare. Never gave witness anything but once. He gave her a half-crown as a new year's gift. He had bought her a new muslin de laine gown once. Witness goes out to work in the fields, but not in Winter. She gets from is. to le. 3d. per day. Re-examined—About a year and a half ago defendant told witness that if he and his mother should quarrel, he would break his father's will, which was bad, and then marry her. She believed what he said. She was 15 or 16 years of age when she lay on her back as above-mentioned. They were all then "larking" and playing. The Joseph Jackson spoken of as being in the hay-field is a relation, brother to her aunt, Mrs. Wilson. Mr. John Cawsey, surgeon, stated that he attended plain tiff's daughter at the time of her confieement. His charge for that attendance was one guinea, which had never yet . been paid. Me. Walter Harland; Mr. Robert Hutchinson, sons of farmers in the neighbourhood, the latter of whom paving 40W. a year for his fa rm , an d r. George Whitel oc k, o f C.:A den-hall, all gave evidence to show that the defendant was a person of considerable property% He held sonic land himself, and let one farm besides of 100 acres, at 21. per acre. He had declared, in the presence of Mr. Hutchinson, at Mr. White lock's, that he intended to act "honourably" towards the girl; and the latter gentleman having told him by way of joke that Mr. Whitelock had taken a fancy to her himself, he replied "he had better not, for we will follow law to the utmost if he molests her." Subsequently, in addressing Mr. Whitelock on the same topic, lie said, " You had better not, or I'll make it cost you four or five hundred pounds." The Rev. Mr. Lambert, curate of Merrick, spoke to the respectability and good character for decency of behaviour of the plaintiff and his family. He knew nothing against the girl before this occurrence on the score of modesty and pro priety. Witness had six daughters, but he knew nothing about the boa having been given to the plaintiff's daughter. On cross-examination, Mr. Lambert said that there were reports two years back respecting the visits of defendant to plaintiff's daughter. Never heard them commented on as very improper. Never was in the plaintiff's house. Lives only 200 or 300 yards from the plaintiff's. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins addressed the jury at considerable length for the defence; after which, His Lordship having recapitulated the evidence, the jury went out for about three-quarters of an hour.—Verdict for the plaintiff—damages 3001. Edwin Adamson, convicted of forging a cheque, in the name of Messrs. Brownlow, Pearson, and Co., of Hull ; and Hugh Doran, convicted of uttering a similar forgery, were sentenced, the former to be transported for fifteen years, and the latter to be imprisoned for two years with bard labour. Thomas Adamson and Ben arnin Adamson, severally charged for the same offence, were both acquitted. NORFOLK CIRCUIT, Bury St. Edmunds, March 19. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) John Lewis, aged 19, and George Martin , aged 17, were indicted for maliciously setting fire to a shed, the property of Sir Augustus Henniker, Bart., at Haughley, on the 4th instant. Mr. Power conducted the case for the prosecution. The prisoner Lewis pleaded " Guilty," and Martin " Not guil ty.' From the evidence of the butler of the prosecutor and others, it appeared that the two lads, who had only the day before been discharged from the House of Correction, where they had been committed as vagrants, called at the house at half-past eleven o'clock, on Sunday, the 4th inst., and so licited charity. The butler said he had pity for them, bat no money, as the family were all at church, whereupon the two boys turned away muttering to themselves. In about a quarter of an hour a girl came running into the house to say that "the haystacks were on fire," but the butler rushing out saw that the fire was in the colt shed, near which the strangers would pass on leaving the premises. It being too late to save the shed, the butler thought to secure the offenders, and on going into the road found both the prisoners in the custody of a farmer, who, passing by, saw them come over a gate leading from the shed, just after he perceived smoke to arise from its vicinity. When delivered into the custody of the police the prisoners stated, that after they had been refused relief at the house they were "quite wild," and coming upon the shed they rested there for ten minutes, at the lapse of which period they set fire to it, and were making off when they were stopped on the road. Mr. Baron PARKS said, that perhaps the jury would con sider the case too clearly proved to require any observations on his part, or any repetition of the evidence which they had so recently heard. The jury considered the matter for five minutes, and having returned a verdict of Guilty, both prisoners were sentenced to 15 years' transportation. James Plumb, a stupid-looking cub, 15 years of age, was charged with maliciously setting fire to a corn stack, the pro perty of William Jillings, at Ousden, on the 6th inst. Mr. Gunny conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was not represented by counsel. This was also a clear case, and only remarkable from the total absence of all motive on the part of the prisoner for the perpetration of the crime imputed to him. According to the testimony of two young girls who were working in the prosecutor's field, where the sack in question stood, it came on to rain at twelve o'clock on the day in question, and thinking it a good opportunity to partake of their homely dinner, they retired to the stack, and while sitting down on one side discussing their meal, and wondering when it would leave off raining, they were surprised to find themselves sud denly enveloped in smoke, which came pouring on them in volumes round the corner of the stack. Jumping up, the elder one ran round the stack, and there she saw the pri soner deliberately engaged in " kindling a straw tire" on the ground within two feet of the stack, which was of barley and of considerable value. Remonstrance by the girl as to the imprudence of his conduct only elicited coarse abuse from him, coupled with the expression of his wish to fire the stack. The girl, however, resolutely put out the " straw fire," as she called it, and retired to finish her dinner, but had scarcely sat down before she heard " the crack of a lucifer match,, ' and on going back to the prisoner she saw him poke a whole box of lighted lucifers into a hole which hail been excavated by the prisoner in the stack about a foot from the ground, and from which flames and smoke immediately burst out. This second fire she likewise extinguished with great promp titude, in spite of the opposition of the little urchin, who re peated his intention to set fire to the stack, and termed her a fool for interfering in his affairs, when she handed him over to her master. The jury having found the prisoner Guilty, and The Learned JUDGE, having animadverted on the enormity of his offence, sentenced him to be transported for 15 years, in the hope that after a short period passed in this country he might be found to have reformed his evil disposition to an extent which would warrant the remission of the full penalty of tha law. He might be assured, however, that if he did not evince a desire to repent and reform, he would be trans ported and made to suffer to the full extent of the sentence now passed upon him. THE G2D REGI3IENT.—Extract from the letter of an officer:—" Poor fellows, they have suffered from the shots both of enemies and friends. Three officers out of 20 only came out of the action. They fought like lions. They were literally mowed do'we like grass by the grape from 31 of the enemy's heavy guns. They actually fell by section," POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. A cab-driver, named John Evans, appeared before Mr. Jardine to answer a summons charging him with creating an obstruction in Wellington-street North, on Saturday night, at half-past eight o'clock. The charge was originally made on Monday morning, the prisoner having been taken in custody on Saturday when the offence was committed. The prisoner's attorney then argued that the policeman had no right to take the prisoner in charge, and that he ought to have summoned him, but Mr. Jardine said that the policeman was perfectly justified in doing so, as the prisoner persisted in his misconduct, and he, the policeman, could not suffer the obstruction to continue. The attorney said that he could bring forward several witnesses if time was given, and he hoped Mr. Jardine would remand the prisoner. Mr. JARDINE said that if he did, the prisoner must remain in custody. The attorney offered bail, but Mr. JARDINE said he would discharge the prisoner for the present, and the policeman could summon the prisoner, by which means time would be given for the latter to produce his witnesses. A summons was therefore taken out for this day, and served on the prisoner, who was then set at liberty. On the case coming on to-day, the defence was made that this took place within the bounds of the Waterloo-bridge Company's property, and was therefore out of the jurisdiction of the Magistrate, but as it appeared that it was at the crossing above the English Opera House, and adjoining the cab-stand there, Mr. JARDINE fined the prisoner in the penalty of 10g. and costs. SOUTHWARK. A young girl named Dunn, of considerable personal at tractions, was brought before ➢lr. Trail], charged with wil fully breaking two panes of glass in the shop-window of a tradesman in the vicinity -: , fthis court. . _ . defendant a pproached his sho p-window and deliberately smashed two panes of glass with one of her hands, which was very much cut, owing to the manner in which she did the damage. That she made no attempt to avoid the responsi bility she incurred, but waited there until a policeman was called, into whose custody she was given. The complainant added that she was a perfect stranger to him, and that he was totally ignorant as to the cause of her having acted in the manner described, and that he had expressed to her his willingness to permit her to go at large if she paid for the two panes of glass, but she refused, declaring that she com mitted the damage in order to be sent to gaol. Mr. TRAILL, addressing the defendant, asked her what was her motive for breaking two panes of glass, and why she was not contented with smashing one instead of two, if her determination was to be sent to gaol? The defendant, who exhibited much obstinacy, and re fused to answer, at length explained that her ;object in breaking two panes of glass instead of one was, that if she had only broken one she knew that her mother would pay for it, and so have her released, but that the expense of two she knew was more than her parent could afford to pay, and that she (defendant) would therefore have to go to gaol. TRAILL said that she would find a great difference in a gaol to her own home. In the former she would be com pelled to associate with the worst of characters, and when she came out, it would be an indelible stain upen her cha racter. The Magistrate then called forward the girl's mother, who stood weeping in the Court. Mr. Trail], addressing the poor woman, asked her if she could explain the reason her daughter had conducted herself in the way described ? The mother replied, that to prevent her daughter seeing a man who was endeavouring by the most artful devices to seduce her from the paths of virtue, she (the mother) deter mined to keep her at home, and for that purpose locked her in her room. She found, however, that her daughter soon got over the impediment by jumping out of the window into the street, and when she was followed for the purpose of being brought back, " Rather than return," said she, " I'll commit an offence, and break some windows to be taken to gaol." That she had no sooner uttered the words than she smashed two panes of glass in the complainant's shop win dow. The mother added, that she was afraid her daughter intended to lay violent hands upon herself if she was re strained from seeing the individual whom she (the mother) was confident only sought her ruin. Mr. TRAILL, having given the defendant a serious lecture upon the folly of her conduct in not listening to the advice and admonitions of a parent, was at length induced to dis•• charge her on her promise to be guided by her mother, and not be led away and ruined by a heartless seducer. The tradesman's glass being paid for, she was liberated. SUSPICIOUS DISCOVERY ON CHATHAM ISLAND. A letter has been received at Lloyd's from the Foreign office, inclosing a copy of a dispatch received from her Ma jesty's Consul-General in Central America, dated A Guatemala, Dec. 3, 1845. My Lord,—The master of the Black Cat, of London, who has just arrived at Iztapa, bas given me the following note respecting the remains he found of the furniture of a vessel on Chatham Island, situated near the equator, in longitude about 87. Captain James Davies's account is as follows : November 10, 1845. Made the Orallapagos Islands. Being calm, I went on shore on Chatham Island in search of water, but fount( none. At eight A.M., returned on board, and proceeded along shore at the rate of 6 1 ,4 knots per hour, for the space of two and-a ha,lf Inure, when the wind died away. A sudden calm abreast of a deep bay. Lowered my boat, and went on shore myself, and four hands under arms. On arriving at the bottom of the bay, in pulling along the shore, my attention was called to a number of water casks, twenty-five in all, twenty yards above high-water mark. I then landed at the spot, took out the bungs, and finding the greater number of them full, rolled four of them down to the beach ; left them, as it still continued calm ; proceeded a short way into the woods with the boat's crew, when I discovered three poles sticking into the ground, namely, two top-gallant and lower studding sails booms belonging to some unknown vessel of about 180 or 200 tons, on which the American flag was flying all in tatters ; beneath them a heap of cinders, where there had been apparently a great fire, and the most valuable of instruments to mariners had been destroyed attd melted, namely, brass sextants, compasses, and log glasses, knives and forks with out number totally burned and destroyed, with the exception of one knife and fork of buckhorn handle, having the name of" Rodgers ;" sailors knives, scissors, sewing needles, packing ditto, fish-hoops, ramrods, gun and musket locks, a heap of but tons melted together. Brought away five supposed to be Spanish gold, date 1787, of the weight of two ounces. Leaving the spot, on running my sword into the sand it held fast. I picked up a hoe near the same spot, and digging where I ran my sword I discovered a cask of beef without pickle, in a putritied state; tripe, Indian corn, meal, large white round peas, and a can of castor oil; a chest containing carpenters' and coopers' tools, some of them were bran new, having the name of " Myers," cast steel ; blocks and tins, cooking utensils, kettles, saucepans, two boilers, one of metal, the other of j copper, muskets without locks, a barrel of common gun powder, 39Ibs. 9oz. ; clumps of guns, tompions ; alsofive pump kins, which were in perfect order, with the exception of one. Proceeded to the boat, and rolled four casks into the water, one of which, being very large, and the tide having fallen about fourteen feet, struck on a rock and bilged there. I suceeded in getting on board, made sail, and proceeded on my voyage. At 10 30 A.M. the following day Downes Island, which is marked doubtful in the chart, bearing distant five miles; latitude observed at noon 33 min. 15 sec. north, longitude 89 deg. 30 min. west. By having the same inserted in the papers, it may ba of ser vice to some nation or people, as I attribute the whole to some piracy or mutiny, from the signs. Your Lordship may perhaps think it desirable to make this singular case known at Lloyd's, for general information. At first I was inclined to suspect that this might be the Toven Cecilia, Peruvian schooner, which disappeared from the coast of Peru in November, 1844, with a caw of goOds , of the value of 20,000 dollars, belonging to Mr. William Turner, a British subject, and which was traced to Realego and Punta de Arenasin, the republic, where the Captain, Santo Bustos, sold some of the cargo. confi Mexico,t a , and On the 13th of February last , s i was supposed to have proceeded but the valuable nature of the object s, Capta in D avis de btcheciiaclle ed to in th a e t A o c a s t j de scribes as having been so deliberately destroyed, and the fact that a quantity of gold was found melted with the rest of the things, forbids that supposition, and leaves the cause of this strange occurance beyond reasonable conjection.

THE REBECCAITES IN THE GREAT DOVER -ROAD.-- Yesterday morning, and to some extent during the day, a good deal of excitement was caused in that portion of the Great Dover -road from St, George's Church, in the Borough, to the turnpike near Roll's floor-cloth manufactory, in consequence of the demolition of a temporary bar placed opposite the Swan inn, by some of the " Re becca" party in that neighbourhood. Since Saturday last posts have been d r i ve , i n to the ground, and a bricklayer's pole attached to them, at the corners of all the streets along that distance, in order to exact a toll for vehicles passing through them into the Great Dover-road. The persons, however, who are placed there to exact these tolls, so far from using their "poll bars," which would not reach half-way across the streets, as a means to refuse the passing of the vehicles, have had the ends iron -bound to the posts, so that they arc like a fence by the side of the footway. In the course of Wednesday night the " pole" near the Swan was broken down, and it would probably take a dozen such lengths to reach across the street. The inhabitants never remember a toll being before demanded, nor were bars ever placed there, and they feel it a considerable hindrance to their business to be thus novelly and without any reason taxed. Men are placed there who demand the toll sans gate, and some pay and some do not. Westminster Hall will probably be the place where the novel proceeding must at last be decided. DEPRECIATION OF THEATRICAL PROPERTY.— On Thursday Mr. G. Robins, the auctioneer, attended at the Auction Mart, to sell by auction several renters shares in the Theatre Royal Drury lane, there being present several gentlemen connected with the thea trical world. In the particulars of sale it was stated, that originally a share was entitled to 2s. 6d. a night, but that the sum has been lowered to ls. 3d. per night. The auctioneer, however stated, thal. a renter of such a share now only received 41. per annum, though he had no doubt that nextyear, in consequence of the able management of Mr. Bunn it would have an increase of value. For many years he received 251. for his share per annum. There were four shares, with a free admission to each, which was said to be worth 31. 10s. Two were sold for 61 guineas each; another for 60 guineas; and the fourth for 59 guineas. . ROBBERY BY • CARRIER.—At Afarylebono Police court, on Thursday, a man, named Fidler, in the employ of Messrs. Ford and Co., carriers, was committed for trial, charged with having stolen a crate and a deal box from the Paddington terminus of the Great Western Railway. The evidence of the case went to show that the prisoner, after loading his waggon with goods regularly booked to him, took up the articles in question and was going off with thorn when he WAN giyeu Into custody. P.* • 4 • '.- /,: FRENCH PLAYS. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. La Grisette et L'Heritiere, a drama, in two nets, was performed for the first time in this country last evening. The scene opens in a mgaasin des modes, where we find Clothilde (Madame Doche), Seraphine (Made moiselle Anna Grave), and a number of other grisettes, employed in the production of millinery. Clothilde is a girl of sentiment and virtue, she is the pet of her companions, and the beloved of Arthur Duresnel (M. Rhozevil), the son of a rich manufacturer, whose suit, however, she rejects, until she ascertains that " his suit is honourable, his purpose marriage," and even then, although she promises to love him ever, she endeavours to dissuade him from an alliance, inasmuch as she is not only of obscure parentage, but, as she believes, a natural child, for she had never known a father and her mother bad died of a broken heart, The father of Arthur has heard of his penchant for Clothilde, and employs Athanase Pemaret, his nephew (M. Plunket), a hypocritical, vulgar dandy, a Frenet , snob, in fact, to endeavour to break off the match, promising him a handsome reward if ho succeeds. Athanase makes love to Seraphine. and thus obtains admission to the magazine, and by means of 'forged letters, and various other equally honourable contrivances, manages to make Clothilde believe that Arthur has deserteeher. In the meantime a certain M. Marcos (M. Dorgebret), the confidential steward of M. Ribera, a rich Spanish merchant, arrives, and seeks an interview with Clothilde. He discloses to her the fact that her father is this rich merchant-- that he has sought her out as his only child, having lost a child by his last marriage, that she is his legitimate child by his first marriage, and that he intends to make her his heir. Having re ceived the letter purporting to come from Arthur, but forged by Athanase, breaking off the connexion, sho Cadiz; beutalnt a grisettealarmis g h ive a r s i just . goes aoffctewr shewith Marcos a r s e °s i thrown herself into the river, and every a left to the h one concludes that Clothilde has committed suicide on account of her love for Arthur. The second act introduces to the residence of the father of Arthur in Paris. M. Le Baron (we are particular about the Baron, inasmuch as the worthy gentleman himself lays particular stress upon the dissyllable)— M. Le Baron Duresnel (admiratt j lz.• acted by Dumery) -.,‘ e e : ~,,,,,; ardtetFaheicu et qui, .4144, •reste-Cci t'grie r e-nietri Two years have elapsed since the first act, and Athanase is high in the confidence of M. Le Baron, who, having made him a handsome present for break ing off the match between Arthur and the grisette, promises him 100,000 francs if he can induce Ar- I thur to marry I nez d e Rib era, the rich Spanish heiress, whose hand Las been promised to him, and and who is coming to Paris under the guardianship of M. Marcos. Athanase promises to do so, but the pro mise is not so easily performed. Arthur, having heard of the suicide of Clothilde for love of him, is attacked by a brain fever, from which he only recovers to remain in a state of incurable melancholy ; he has Towed eternal fidelity to the memory of Clothilde, and will not hear of another marriage. His father, enraged, declares that if he will not marry Inez, Athanase shall, and that to Athanase h e w ill l eave his whole fortune. The tactics of Athanase are now changed, and he urges upon Arthur the great virtue of fidelity to the memory of his departed love. Arthur, however, consents to see Inez, and on being introduced he is struck by the likeness to Clothilde. Still be cannot believe that it is Clothilde. He has an interview alone with her, and is rapidly falling in love with her when the interview is interrupted by Athanase, who desires to speak with Arthur alone, and who suggests that Clothilde may still be living, inasmuch as her body has never been found, and that, probably, Marcos had abducted her for the purpose of bringing about the match with Inez. Arthur determines to be faithful to Clothilde, but Athanase, seeking to make as surance doubly sure, suggests that Inez has another lover, and produces a gage d'amour which he had found in her possession. It is a gage d'amour which errthur had given to Clothilde. The mystery is revealed, Clothilde, the grisette, and lnez L'Heri dere are the same ; and the lovers are made happy, while Athanase is obliged to content him self with his 100,000 francs, and the hand of Seraphine, to whom he had promised marriage two years before, to secure her services in sowing discord between Clothilde and Arthur. The acting of Madame Doche, both as La Grisette and L'Heritiin•e was most artistical—simple yet polished—pathetic, yet net forced, b u t b eaut i fully natural throughout • her Clothilde was a p er f ect triumph. She was admirably supported by Rhozevil, as Arthur, and by Dorgebret, who, as Marcos, had but littl e to do, but did that littl e excellently well. Plunket as Atha nase, was an exquisite snob (we use the term exquisite advisedl3), and Dumery and L Baron was the very beau ideal of a parvenu. It was preceded by Une Femme de Quarante Ans, and succeeded by Etre Aime, vu Afoul*, in both of which Mademoiselle Martelleur was excellent. tier Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert honoured the theatre by their presence, and the per formances were by express desire. The royal party arrived towards the conclusion of the first piece. Both her Majesty and Prince Albert paid the utmost atten tion to La Grisette ct L'Heritiere, and seemed to enter fully into the interest of the plot. They seemed par ticularly amused with the boasting of the Baron, that he was often invited to the balls eke: le Ministre, and evidently did full justice to the transcendent talents of Madame Docile. At the conclusion of the play, the applause from the royal box was long-continued ; and among these who, on the appearance of Madame Doche, in obedience to an unanimous call, offered her the homage of their hearty epplause, not the least con spicuous was his Royal Highness Mince Albert. The house was in every part crowded to excess. IMMENSE DESTRUCTION OF PLANTATIONS BY THE LATE HURRICANE.—The almost unprecedented gale of Wed nesday week has been severely felt among th e High land and other plantations. Trees on the Inches of Perth which had stood the blast fir 100 years, were stripped of their branches, broken in their trunks, or torn tip their roots. A most beautiful Lombardy poplar, the crowning beauty of the North Inch, was torn to pieces and levelled with the dust, greatly damaging, in its fall, several other trees in the clump beside it. Ano ther of the same description at Deadlands, a great ornament near the west end of the bridge, was uprooted, and fell into the river. Strong ashes and other hardy trees were shivered and turn on the South Inch, and the fruit bearing trees in gardens suffered materially. A large number of trees were blown down along the east bank of the Tay opposite Perth At Scone, wood to the value of more than 1,000/. shared the same fate. At Moncreiffe and Dupplin the havoc was im mense. From Castlehuntly, Logieahnond, Lynedoch, and other places, we have accounts of great devastation—at the last mentioned, a roup of wood had been advertised for that day, but the number of trees blown down or uprooted was about five times that of those marked off for sale. The fine woods about Methven Castle have also sustained great damage. But the forests about Dunkeld have suffered perhaps more severely than any. There is scarcely a standing tree on Craig -y_ barns, and Craig-Vinian is little better. The number broken by the wind or torn up by the roots in that neighbourhood is variously estimated from 20,000 to 30,000! In various parts of the country the barn yards give evidence of the severity of the hurricane.
