quire from them that they should place confidence in the justice of the House o; Commons, and in the justice of the Executive Government. That con fidence would be perfectly justified, for my Right Hon. Friend has stated that directions have already been given by him for the suppression of this practice in every union workhouse. 'But that is beside the question —no other Government has a right to interfere in our proceedings. Ido conceive that nothing would be more injurious than that we, as our example is looked up to by other countries, should, prompted by feelings in themselves natural and laudable, attempt the establish. ment of a precedent by an interference of this natare in the domestic concerns of another country. Again I must repeat that I hope every gentleman will suspend his judgment with respect to the truth of this story. It is highly probable that it is untrue, or it has been grossly exaggerated, and I hope they will be individually satis fied with the assurance that the Government of Russia has undertaken to make inquiry into this subject. I have stated to the Hon. Gentleman that I have no dispatches to lay on the table. That assurance will probably induce him to withdraw his motion, and I must strongly recommend you not to establish a prece dent, which I think most injurious, and fraught with danger as inducing other powers to act on our example for worse purposes than could possibly be imputed to us now. Mr. COWPER said that after what had fallen from the Right Hon. Baronet, he should withdraw his motion. Sir ROBERT PEEL said he had stated every thing that he knew to the Hon. Gentleman. Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE called the attention of the Right Hon. Baronet to the address that was pre sented to her Majesty immediately after the visit of the Emperor or Russia to this country. He was sorry to hear the Right Hon. Baronet mix up the Andover case with the atrocities perpetrated on the nuns of Minsk. Ile c.•nsiderfd that it could not be compared with the atrocities committed under the Russian autocrat. He hoped, however, that as an extended intercour:e was going on between this country and the court of Russia, we shall be able shortly to hear that the Emperor of that country has estatilished an inquiry upon the subject as they had done in this country. Mr. MILNER GIBSON stated that the principles of such a policy as that propounded by the Right Hon. Baronet did not correspond with the efforts which this country had made, and was still making, to procure the abolition cf the slave trade. _ _ HOWARD considered that public opinion should be expressed in a dignified manner upon the sub ject. He hoped the time would speedily arrive when all the subjects under the Emperor of Russia's rule would have a perfect liberty of conscience in religious matters. Doctor BOWRING considered that the Emperor of Russia would be glad for having the opportunity afforded him of defending himself against these opinicns which had been gathering around him. Mr. NEWDEGATE said that in consequence of the lateneness of the hour, he would withdraw his notice relative to vexatious objections against' votes, and would mould move it on Tuesday next. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question of Mr. Philip Howard, said that he proposed going into committee on the corn-laws before he went into the committee of supply. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Twelve o'clock. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (YESTERDAY.) Sub-Committee No. 1. This Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock, Mr. Strutt, chairman. The Committee upon assembling intimated to the gentle men of the press that they were most willing to afford every accommodation to the representatives of the various journals in the execution of their duties. They, therefore, appointed the side table for them on the left of the Chairman, which was the best arrangement that, under the circumstances, could be made. LONDON, WARWICK, LEAMINGTON, AND KIDDERMINSTER. This adjourned case was then called on. Mr. Coates appeared for the promoters. Mr. BURKB proceeded with the allegations in the petitions against the Bill. They consisted of errors in the plans and sections, but none of them were of vital importance to the Bill. A few were sustained and many were abandoned. Mr. Samuel Hughes, C.E., was called by the opponents to prove errors in the plans and sections. A few arguments by Mr. COATES were sustained and others overruled. The next allegation of any importance against the Bill, was that the plans and sections deposited with the clerks of the peace differed from those lodged at the Private Bill. office. After some discussion on both sides, it was agreed upon by the parties to go through the allegations between themselves, so as to save the time of the Committee. This arrangement was concurred in by the Chairman, and the further consideration of the case was adjourned to Mon day next. THE EAST AND WEST INDIA DOCKS AND BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION RAILWAY. Mr. Gregory appeared for the promoters of this Bill. The formal proofs were gone into, and the further hearing of the case was adjourned till Monday. Sub-Committee, No. 2. This Committee met to-day, shortly after twelve o'clock. There were present Sir J. Y. Buller (Chairman), Mr. G. Craig, Mr. Bell, and Mr. Walker. TILING, READING, AND BASINGSTOIES. This was the first Bill considered, against which there was one petition from Mr. William Waithem, for which no one appeared. The formal evidence havirg been gone through, the Com mittee found that the standing orders had been complied with. The object of the promoters of this Bill was to constrict a line of railway from the London and Birmingham Railway at Pitstone to the parish of Saundaton, which was part of a proposed extended railway from Tring to Basingstoke, to join the London and South-Western Railway, the remainder to be incorporated in another Bill. Engineer, Mr_ S. Hughes, C.E. Amount of capital, 124,0001., and length of line fifteen miles. The Parliamentary agents, Messrs. Dyson and Co. ; solicitors, Messrs. G. P. Hill, and T. G. Everill, Soho-square. Mr. Ellicombe appeared in support of the Bill. GLASGOW, PAISLEY, 7LILI SARTIOCK, AND AYR, AND BRANCHES. This was the next petition taken into consideration. The object of the Bill was to construct a railway from Paisley to near Kilmarnock, with branches to Drybridge. The esti mate of the undertaking was 1,600,0001., and the subscription 600,0001., while the length of the line, with the branches, was about twenty- six miles. Parliamentary agents, Messrs. Burke, Pratt, and Vena bles ; engineer, Mr. John Miller. There were several petitions against this The formal evidence having been heard, Mr. Pit= said he would suggest to his friend, Mr. Laing (the agent for the petitioners), a course that would abridge the labours of the Committee, and would not in any degree injure the case of the petitioners. It was simply this i—That they (the promoters) admitted various in accuracies in the plans and sections deposited on the 30th of November, but that having found that to be the case, they had deposited amended plans and sections on or be fo-e the 31st of December. If his friend, therefore, would take this general admission, instead of going into the alle ga'ions iu the petitions, as had been done in the Welsh and Midland Railway, and in another case with which his friend must be acquainted, they would save tune to all parties. If this suggestion were not adopted they were prepared to go into the allegations s eriatim. Mr. LAING said he was willing to agree to any course that would save the time of the Committee, but he must object to his Learned Friend, Mr. Pritt, going into any proof of his having deposited any other plans than those deposited on the 30th of November. A case exactly similar to that arose before Committee 3, with reference to the South Union Railway, and Mr. Venables there objected to any proof being given in evidence of what had taken place subsequent to the 30th of November, and the Committee decided in favour of Mr. Venables. He must, therefore, object to his friend proceeding in the course he had proposed. The CHAIRMAN said, it did not make the least difference whether the evidence in question was given there or before the Com:eittee above stairs; but the question was, whether evidence not produced then could be taken up stairs. Mr. LAING sail that, accord,ng to the Act of Parliament, the parties were permitted to make any statement such as his Learned Friend had offered here up stairs, but that at present that could not be accepted. The CHAIRMAN thought that if the parties could come to some arrangement it would be better. Mr. LUNG said that one of the greatest landholders on the line was in attendance there, and objected to the adoption of the course proposed, having been already detained several weeks in town at a heavy expense. At the suggestion of the Chairman, the respective agents retired fer a short time to effect, if possible, some arrange ment, and after an absence of about a quarter of an hour, returned without having been able to enter into any set tlement. The first petition was from Mr. Andrew Bsolos, of Hill House in the county of Ayr, complaining general* at non compliance with the standing orders in various particulairo. Mr. Pnrrr said that before proceeding with that petition he would call the attention of the Committee to the fact that various iriterlineations had been made in the petition. Mr. LANG said that the terms of the agreement autho rised them to m a k e any alterations in the petition they required. He had to call the attention of the Com milee to a tact material to the present case. The second allegation was, that certain portions of the plans de posited by this Comp any were not their plans, but those of another Com pan y of the same.nanae, No. 6, but which proposed to construct quite a different railwai i - .. ded H t e had applied at the Private Bill-otlice for the Bill h e all , but was informed by Mr. Strut t that it would be produced by an order from the Chairman of the Committee before whoi of the same designation might be consider:any of the Bills The CHAIRMAN having sent for the Bill in question, Mr. Putrr proceeeded with the alleg a ti ons i n their correct order. The first allegation was, that no plans or sectiens of the proposed railway, which was to pass through the Abbey parish of Paisley and Laigh . Kk parish of Paisley, h ad been deposited with the sheriff's clerk of the county of Renfrew on or before the 30th day of November, which were applicable to the said parishes. Evidence pro and con, being heard, the Committee found that in this case the allegation was not sustained. The second allegation was to the effect that in the proposed branch of railway through the'parishes mentioned in the pre ceding allegation, a similar error had been committed, inas much as the plans and sections as regarded these parishes were the plans,or a portion of them, deposited in the Private Bill-office by the promoters of the Paisley, Barrhead, and Hurlet Railway. _ --7 11;61IAIlt511N considered that if it were even as alleged, it the plans were correct it would be no matter. Mr. LAING said he would under these circumstances pro ceed on the merits. The first class of allegations was that there was great in accuracy in the plans and sections deposited with the sheriff's clerks of the respective counties through which the line was to pass. The first allegation was with reference to the county of Renfrew, which was sustained, and with respect to the other counties it was admitted that the inaccuracy alleged was correct, and the Committee found accordingly, that in these cases the standing orders had not been complied with. It was next alleged that on the 13timile of the terminus at Paisley there was no figuring, which was sustained. Some other allegations of a similar -nature were abandoned. It was next alleged that from Nos. 85 to 107 the proper ties were not delineated in the plans deposited with the sheriffs' clerks. The Committee found that the sections in'question had not been numbered. Some similar allegations were admitted, and some were abandoned. It was next alleged that there was a difference between the plans and sections deposited with the sheriff's clerks and those in the Private Bill-office. The first of this class of allegations was that there was an error in the datum line, which the Committee sound to be sustained. The Committee then adjourned, at four o'clock, till twelve o'clock to-morrow. Sub-Committee No. 6. This Committee re-assembled this day; present, Captain Jones (in the chair), Lord Eblington, Mr. Deedes, and Mr. Pakington. BRISTOL, BIRMINGHAM/ AND MIDLAND. This case was postponed in consequence of an inf,rrnaluy in the petition. BUOICINGHAM (TR..TNG TO BANBURY). This was the next case called on. The object of the pro moters of this Bill is to construct a line of railway fromTring, which will pass through the towns of Aylesbury, Winslow, and Buckingham, and terminate at Banbury. The length is th irty-one miles, the estimated cost is 850,0001., for which amount the deed has been executed. The engineer is Robert B. Dockray, Esq.; the Parlia mentary agents, Messrs. Dorrington and Co.; and the soli citor, Samuel Carter, Esq. It was discovered by the Committee that in reference to cross sections, opposite to the line intended to represent the present surface of the ground, the words "altered surface" were written, and vice versa—the present surface of a e road ought to have been represented by a straight line, whilst on the contrary it was designated by a dotted line, and the re verse was the case with respect to the altered surface. The room was cleared, and after upwards of half an hour's time the parties concerned were re-admitted, when The CHAIRMAN said that they had fully considered the point themselves, and also referred to the chairmen of the other Sub-Committees, and they had come to the determina tion to report to the Standing Orders' Committee the non compliance with the standing orders in this respect. Mr. Doßmsterrorr—Perhaps you will be kind enough to attend that Committee when this case comes before them. The CHALRMAN—I shall attend the Committee, of course, and report the whole of the circumstances. Mr. Doßnntarox—Thank you, Sir. In all other respects the standing orders were corn plied with.

The Parliamentary agent in this case stated the Bill was very much opposed, and as he had released the witnesses from attendance (not expecting the case to be called on to day), he should be obliged if the Committee would allow the matter to stand over to some future day. The Chairman complied with the request. LEICESTER , AND BIRMINGHAM. This was the next case called on ; but a messenger from the House of Commons having announced the Speaker was at prayers, the Committee stood adjourned until Monday. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE. HOUSE OF LORDS. This Committee resumed its sittings this day at twelve o'clock. NEWRY, ARMAGH, and LONDONDERRY RAILWAY. The Committee decided, after hearing the usual evidence, that the Company in this case had complied with the stand ing orders. THE WEXFORD, CARLOW, AND DUBLIN JUNC TION RAILWAY. The Committee reported that in this case also the Com pany had complied with the standing orders. CORK, BANDON, AND KINSALE JUNCTION. In this case the Committee reported that the standing orders had been complied with. One objection was merely of an engineering character, and the other was that the plans deposited were not duplicates - , neither was the datum line taken from a public point. CORK AND PASSAGE (IRETcAND). In this case the Committee reported that the standing orders had not been complied with, several important no tices not having been served. IRISH NORTH MIDLAND. The object of this Bill is to connect Dublin with Ennis killen and the immediate towns, with a branch from Cavan to Monaghan ; the whole length of the line is 99 miles, and the estimated cost is 1,066,6601.

The half-yearly meeting of this Company was held at the George and Vulture Tavern, Cornbill, yesterday, at one o'cloc, but the attendance Was very small. Mr. WlrrArt, on taking the chair, proceeded to lay before the meeting a summary of the receipts and expenditure of the Company from July, 1837, to Dec. 1845. The cash ac• count showed a debt of 24,2751., and deducting the expenditure, a balance of 854 was left in the bankers' hands. The Chairman stated the present liabilities of the Company to be about 1,870/., to meet which the directors had still to receive 1,345/. balance, unpaid upon the call of 10,000/., but in order to get up that sum, it had been found necessary to institute a suit in Chancery, which was pending at that moment. On that account, he had been unable to bring the affairs of the Company into such a position as to make it possible to have them wound up at that meeting, but he trusted to accomplish this by the meeting in August. The accounts were approved and passed. _ It was then moved and carried by the shareholders present, and approved of by many absent, that the shareholders of the Company were under great obligations to their Chairman, Mr. Wittan, for the exertions he had untiringly made in the cause of the Company, which had been successful in saving them from much greater loss, and that, in token of their gratitude, they thought it proper to make arrangements for presenting him with a testimonial. The meeting was then adjourned. THE LATE EXPLOSION AT DOVER.—The borough Coroner completed his adjourned inquest on the bodies of the men killed by the explosion of gunpowder in a cave in Dover Cliffs. Since the adjournment, another man has died of his wounds, making the thirteenth sufferer by the accident. It appeared from the evidence adduced yesterday, that for some time past the cave had been con verted into a kind of beer-shop, to supply the labourers employed on that particular part of the line, notwithstanding the dangerous nature of the contents, which they were perfectly aware of. The jury fouod the following verdict:—" That the deceased were killed by the ex plosion of a certain quantity of gunpowder, not being properly pro tected from the possibility of an accident; and that the said explo sion was caused by a lighted pipe being dropped by one of the de ceased on the said gunpowder." BRITISH COLONIAL BANK AND LOAN COMPANY.— The fifth annual meeting of this company was held on Wednesday, at the efface in Moorgate-street ; Jas. Stewart, Esq., in the chair. From the was .

(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCEELL.) SMITH V. BESSEMER. This was an action to recover the sum of 151. 12s. for warehouse-room and care of a steam-engine under peculiar circumstances. The defendant denied his liability. The facts of the case were these :—ln June, 1844, the de fendant sent the engine in question to an engineer, named Wilson, carrying on business in the Wharf-road, St. Pancras. Wilson, however, was soon afterwards declared a bankrupt, and the present plaintiff, who occupied a part of the pre mises, was chosen assigner. Defendant demanded the engine, but the plaintiff refused to give it up, unless the warehouse-room was paid for.' According to the testimony of the plaintiff's witnesses, the defendant distinctly agreed to pay 151. 125., and on a subsequent occa • sion he called and said that he would pay that amount, and pulled out a 101. note and a cheque for 1001., and said if the engine was put into the cart he would go and get change. He went away but did not return, but the men drove off with the engine ; they were, however, followed and given into custody ; the charge, however, was not followed up. For the defendant it was contended that the offer to pay was only a ruse to get his engine, and ought not to be taken as a binding promise, as proper care had not be taken of the engine ; and, on the contrary, it had been thrown about negligently, and that many of the bolts and brasses were missing, and, in fact, the defendant had been put to an ex pense of 301. to put it in repair. The jury retired at one o'clock to consider their verdict. [On the names of the second jury being called it was found to be impossible to make up a sufficient number. It was stated that five who had been summoned were licensed victuallers and bound to attend on the licensing magistrates, it was, therefore, agreed to go on with a short number.] Verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 7/. 10s. ASSIZE IN TELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—CFelmsford, March 5. CROWN COUIVEL(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.) George Hart, 22, was indicted for having feloniously cut and wounded John Fuller, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. On other counts the prisoner was charged with the intent to rob the prosecutor. I , lr. Ryland conducted the prosecution. It appeared that the prosecutor was a farmer in the neighb.urhood of Chelmsford, and on Friday, the 16th January, he had been to the market at that place, and was returning home between six and seven o'c!ock in the evening, being at the time what is called market fresh, or a little the worse for the good liquor he had imbibed. It was a very dark night, and when he had got about a mile out of the town he heard the footsups of a man a little behind him. He walked on, the man still keeping close to him, and when they got near a cottage by the roadside the man left him. He proceeded on his journey, and when he had got on the road about half a mile farther, he suddenly received a violent blow by a stick or bludgeon, which felled him to the ground. A man instantly fell upon him and seized him, and at the same instant he received several severe cuts upon the head, and upon raising his arm to protect himself, he received a cut across his wrist. The struggle continued for some time, and at length the man who had attacked the prosecutor, apparently alarmed at the approach of some one, jumped up and ran away. The prosecutor was found in a dreadful state, covered with blood, and almost exhausted, and upon inquiries being made of him he was unable to give more than a very slight account of his assailant ; and the only additional circumstance likely to give any assistance in the discovery of the perpetrator of the outrage, was the finding of the peak of a cap, such as is worn by la bouring men, near the place where the struggle took place. Upon those slight materials, however, owing to the activity and zeal displayed by the constabulary sta tioned at Chelmsford, and the care taken in the investi gation of the matter by the magistrates, the charge was clearly brought home to the prisoner. The evidence was entirely of a circumstantial character, and consisted of minute facts, all tending to show the guilt of the accused. It was proved that on the night in question, and about the time the offence was committed, he was seen going in the same direction as the prosecutor ; that he arrived at his own lodgirg shortly after the of fence had been committed ; that the peak of the cap which was found belonged to the cap the prisoner had been in the habit of wearing ; that he had purchased a new cap immediately afterwards, and told the officer that he had fell asleep before the fire, and that it had dropped off and was burned; and, be sides this, it was proved that when the prisoner was taken into custody he was dressed in entirely new clothes, and the clothes which, according to the testi mony of the witnesses, he had worn on the night of the attack upon the prosecutor were found in the house very bloody. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence. said that he could not say any more than that he was at home at the time. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, said he thought that all the parties concerned in the adminis tration of justice in this county,- not only in this parti cular case, but in several others that had come before him during the assises, deserved very great credit, for the very careful and searching manner in which all the cases appeared to have been investigated, • and the pains that had been taken to produce all the ne cessary facts in evidence. It was highly important to society that, where great crimes were committed, the perpetrators of them should be brought to justice, and this could only be done in many cases by a most careful inquiry— by looking at attentively, and considering circumstances, which at first might appear trivial, but which eventually might, when combined with other facts, make out a chain of circumstaners entirely incom patible with the innocence of the party accused of the crime, and which must always be considered as the most sAtisfactory evidence that could possibly be adduced in support of a charge. The jury, af er a short consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty. Evidence was then adduced to show, that on two pre vious occasions the prisoner had been convicted of housebreaking. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, on passing sentence, told the prisoner that he had been convicted of a most henious offence, and he might think himself very fortunate that be was not standing at the bar to answer a charge of murder, for if he were, there was very little doubt that he must have been convicted, and his lfe, un doubtedly have been forfeited. Taking into considera- Von the character of the offence, and the circumstances under which it had been committed, he felt that the duty he owed to the public, and the necessity, by a se vere example, to detcr others from the commission of the like offence, left him no alternative but to pass upon him the full sentence of the law, which was that he be sentenced beyond the seas for the term of his natural life. ---- James Harding, 25, John Conolly, 23, Feliz 25, soldiers belonging to the 95th regiment of foot, were indicted for a felonious assault upon. Elizabeth Aldred. It appeared from the evidence, that the offence with which - the prisoners were charged was committed under most aggravated circumstances. So far as they will admit of being described, it may be stated that in the beginning of last August, the prosecutrix, accompanied by her husband, was going across a field in the direction from Tilbury Fort to West Tilbury, where they met the prisoners, all of whom were Irishmen, and one of them inquired how f ar it was t o th e f ort . They were told that it was about a mile off, and immediately afterwards they came up to the prosecutor and her husband, and one of them said that she was not his lawful wife, and they would have her with them, and at the same moment the husband was struck to the ground by a tremendous blow of a bludgeon. The men then seized the unfortu nate woman, and all three of them perpetrated the of fence, her husband lying by a portion of the time, bleed ing and insensible ; but it would appear that he got up at one period of the transaction and attempted to go to the assistance of his wife, wren he was again knocked down in the most brutal manner. The prisoners alter nately dragged the woman away, telling fur that her husband was dead, and that they would murder her, and then there would be no witnesses against them. The husband, as soon as the prisoners were gone, contrived to crawl to the villiage, where be obtained assistance, and the prisoners were apprhended shortly afterwards. The jury found the prisoners Guilty. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, having made some appro priate observations upon the enormity of their offence, sentenced them to be transported for life. When sentence was delivered, the prisoners, as is cus tomary, were handcuffed, and the moment this was done the Trisoner Harding threw his cap into the jury -box, and at tte same time said, " There you --- tike that ; y ou 'll k now th e wan t o f soldiers before long." He then struck his handcuffs violently against the iron spikes surrounding the dock, evidently with the intention of breaking them, when he was overpowered by the officers in attendance, and removed from the dock. He was shortly afterwards taken away in the van to the gaol, and as he was getting into the vehicle, he threw his cap, which_had been restored to him, among the crcwd, and called ot, " Good bye to Old England, I shall not see you any more." NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Durham, March 3. The assizes for the county of Durham commenced here this morning. Their Lordships, after attending Divine ser vice, sat at 12 o'clock, Mr. Justice Patteson on the criminal side, and Mr. Justice Coleridge on the civil side. There are 21 causes entered for trial, none of which, however, it is believed, are of very great interest. The calendar is unusu ally heavy, both in point of numbers and in the nature of the offences with which the prisoners are charged. There are four in custody for murder (three, however, in one case), five for rape, one for arson, six for highway robbery, five for cutting and wounding, and three for manslaughter. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE. ) Eight cases were disposed of in the course of the day, either by being withdrawn, or a verdict being taken by con sent. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. SMITH v. LINDSAY. This was an action in which the plaintiff sought to recover compensation in damages for a breach by the defendant of his undertaking to marry her. Mr. Granger and Mr. Robinson were for the plaintiff; Mr. Knowles and Mr. Atherton for the defence. Mr. GRANGER stated the case, and called Elizabeth Smith, the mother of the plaintiff, from whose testimony it appeared that the defendant is a faimer in the neighbour hood of Durham, a member of a family who are reputed well to do in the world. The plaintiff is one of three daugh.. ters, and is now about 26 years of age. She has two brothers. Her father has a farm of about 130 acres. In the latter part of the year 1844, the plaintiff, who had before that time been known but by sight to the witness, called at her house, and stated that his housekeeper had left, and that he would feel much obliged if the witness would allow her daughter, the plaintiff, to come and fill that office, at least for a short time. It was finally agreed that she should go till the May following, it being understood that she was then to return home, as her father had, during the summer, sufficient em ployment for all his children on his own farm. When May arrived, however, the defendant was still unsuited with another housekeeper, and the plaintiff still remained in his service. During this period she and the defendant were, it would appear, the only inmates of his house. This con tinued until November, 1844, when witness again required that her daughter should return home • and that she herself called for this purpose, other members of the family did the same. To them the defendant said that they must make up their minds to do without her, as she was about to become his wife. She remained at the defendant's until May, when she went home, and was then, as subse quently proved to be the case, pregnant. Before her return home, in the course of the conversations he had with the plaintiff's mother, he said that the circumstance of her daughter's having no fortune would make no difference, as he was a man of property, and the plaintiff was a fortune in herself, and had saved him considerably in his housekeep ing. Subsequently to ,the time of the plaintiff's return home he called at her mother's house. By that time her preg nancy had been discovered. He had an interview with the plaintiff in the presence of her mother and fattier kle said he had had a letter from her through a Mr. hope, and that , it was all right. The plaintiff's fattier said, " Well, George, you have promised marriage to Elizabeth, when do you in tend to perform your promise?" He replied that he never intended anything else, and would marry her some time shortly, sooner than was expected, and he invited the whole family to come and see them after the happy event. When he was leaving, he said, " Now, Elizabeth, you had better go home with me to-night, and we'll be married to-morrow morning." Plaintiff's father said, " No, George, I cannot allow that. If you come in the morning and take her honour ably to church, you may." The defendant, however, did not marry the plaintiff, and a child was born on the 15th of Sep • tember. On the 6th of August preceding, the witness had written a letter to the defendant requiring him to perform his promise, stating that a license would be procured, and making an appointment to meet him at the house of a friend of the name of Hope, whence they would go to church. No notice was taken of this communication. In cross-examination it appeared that the defendant was about fifty years of age, and that the witness was aware that he was at least occasionally in the habit of being intoxicated. The plaintiff had been in service before at the rate of eight guineas per annum. With the defendant she was to have not quite as much. Charlotte Smith, sister of the plaintiff. and Martin Prowl, her uncle, gave similar testimony. The latter on one occasion had called to see the defendant while the plaintiff was there. The defendant asked him to stop all night, and in the course of conversation informed him that he (the defendant) had about 200/. owing to him for corn, but that he was in no want of it, as he farmed his oWn land. It appeared from the will of the defendant's father that he left some freehold and leasehold property to be divided among his sons. Mr. KNOWLES addressed the jury for the defence, com menting strongly on the circumstance of there being no proof whatever of any promise, except by the. testimony of members of the family interested in establishing it. He observed upon the imprudence of the plaintiff's relatives in permitting a young woman to become the inmate of the defendant's house, in which no other person resided, espe cially as they were aware he was a person in whom, some times at least, intoxication mastered his reason ; and he contended that if they should return a verdict for the plain , tiff, they should lay oat of consideration the seduction, which would perhaps form the subject of another action, but could not be taken into consideration in this. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, observed that the jury even in this action could not lay the fact of the seduction entirely out of the question. The damages sought were for a breach of the defendant's contract, and it was from the fact of the seduction a greater injury to the plaintiff to break that contract, both as regarded her prospect of a future set. tlement and her wounded feelings. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 100/. Several cases were disposed of during the day on the criminal side, bat none were of any public interest. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. --- - (Before the Assisrarrr-JUDGE and a Bench of Magistrates.) On Wednesday, Dominic Seuroni was indicted for fraudu lently obtaining from Mr. Charles Dickens the sum of 21. Mr. DOANE stated the case for the prosecution. The pri soner was taken into custody by the officers of the Mendicity Society, and was charged with personating Mr. Mazzini for fraudulent purposes. The first witness examined was John Thompson, who de posed that he was in the service of Mr. Charles Dickens,l and that the defer.dant came to his master's house one evening in the early part of the month of January last, with a book and a letter addressed to his master, which he delivered. Mr. Charles Dickens was then examined. He produced the following letter written in very bad French, which, be lieving to be a genuine document really written by Mr. Mazzini, who appeared to be in great distress, he had enclosed two sovereigns for him in a letter of commisseration : "To the very honoured and celebrated Charles Dickens, Esq., &c. "The sad celebrity obtained by the author of the sub joined pamphlet, in reward of the immense sacrifices made by him to his country's emancipation, and the cruel persecu tions that have followed him even on the hospitable soil of England, have driven him to the painful extremity of get ting his daily bread through the working of his weak pen. You, a celebrated writer—you, whom they say to be as much eminent as generous, will you refuse to accept the work of the unfortunate proscribed Mazzini, and to grant him a re tribution (contribution)? No, Ido not believe you will, and I venture to hope that the day of to-morrow will prove that my reliance has not been vain.—Your obedient and respectful servant, " GIUSEPPE MAZZINI. " Jan. 27, 1846." Giuseppe Mazzini stated that he had given no authority to the defendant to send round his pamphlet, or obtain money for him. Defendant had not given him the money he re.• ceived, nor any portion of it, but, on the contrary, he had called upon him about the same period, and asked him also for pecuniary assistance. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he'had been the dupe of a foreign Count, and that he had given to him the letter and the money he had received. It appeared, however, clearly that he had represented himself as Mr. Massini. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The COURT, after a suitable admonition, sentenced him to imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction for six calendar month. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLERKEN WELL. William Philips, an athletic fellow, was placed at the bar charged with the following brutal conduct. It appeared in evidence that on Wednesday evening, at six o'clock, the prisoner was at a public-house in the City-road, where he quarrelled with a bargeman, whom he kicked and beat in a savage manner and left him in a state of insensibility. Th e p r i son er attempted to make his escape, but the police we re called upon to take him into custody. T wo officers arrived, and on seizing the prisoner he became exceedingly viole n t, and resisted them. On th eir road to the station-house he struck at and kicked the officers, who were much injured, especially about the legs. He spat at them, and made use of the most abominable language. With great diffi cu l ty h e was taken to the station-house. Several witnesses confirmed this evidence. The prisoner expressed This sorrow, saying he was drunk at the time, and he hoped the Magistrate would deal leniently with him. Mr. GREENWOOD said he was mistaken if he thought he was about to fine him. He sentenced him to seven days' imprisonment, without fine, in the House o f C orrec ti on . Prisoner—l hope your worship will take bail. Mr. Gfixiciwoon — Certainly not; and the man who you first assaulted not being able to attend to-day, after your term of imprisonment has expired h e can have a warrant against you. The police must be protected. COMMISSION OF LUNACY. Yesterday morning a commission de lunatico inT;ire; do was opened before Francis Barlow, Esq., at the Sheriff's-office for Middlesex, to inquire into the state of mind of Griffitlrs William Morris, who formerly carried on business as a sur geon, at Barnet. The writ had been sued out at the in stance of the brother cf the lunatic, and the evidence went very clearly to prove_ the insa n it y. Hi s delusions were rather peculiar. He at times considered that he had got the head of another person, and that the Queen, Prince Albert and suite put up at his house on their way to Hatfield House. On one occasion he caught a red hot coal out of the fire, and said that it was his canary bird, &c. In the latter end of last year he went from home on horseback to see his daughter at Cirencester, but after being gone some time the horse returned by himself, and the lunatic was not seen for two days, and he then said that he had slept in the fields one night, and could not tell where he stayed afterwards. In short his memory completely failed him, and he had not made any entries in his books during the last year. In December last he ran in a very excited state to the Red Lion, in Barnet, and said that his horse would run for the Derby at Epsom; he however had no race-horse. From that time his friends kept a careful watch over his actions, and in January he was placed in Brompton-house Retreat. Mr. Berry, a surgeon residing at Whetstone, was called, and proved that when he was sent for in January, 1846, he found Mr. Morris violently excited; and he had no doubt of his being unable to properly attend to his business. He had met him in consultation once in July and twice in October. Witness was on those occasions of opinion that the lunatic was not quite competent to judge of such cases, but did not like to say so. Mr. Morris did not appear to be able to bring his mind to bear on the subject. Witness bad afterwards said, "Oh, poor fellow he will go out of his mind." I n O c t o ber there was everything in his ap pearance, manner, and eye, to denote more than mere im becility. Witness, as a medical man, would not have liked to have taken his opinion. The jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict that the said Griffith William Morris was of unsound mind from the Ist of January, 1846. THE DISTURBANCE AND MURDER ON T HE H AWICH of Fushie Bridg e , arme d with and proceeded to b urn th e huts RAILWAY. (FURTHER PAIt TICU LAUS.)—On Sunday mo rn i ng t h e Scottish labourers on the line, to the n umber, it i s said, of 1,200 or b l, l s u o d o g , e as ons m se ai b id led ot i i n wr th l e eti n tai eig w h e be apo ur n h s o!a d occupied by the Irish labourers. No reason has transpired for this outrage. It is thought the procee dings on Saturday alone have ex cited the aggressors to such measures. De that as it may, the hand ful of constables left to endeavour to keep the, peace could do nothing to restrain such a powerful ccmbination of men; they could only form spectators of the fearful pr ogress the rioters made, as row after row of the temporary huts of the poor Irishmen were burned to the ground; the wretched inmates, men, women, and children being _compelled to fly to a distance to escape the ravages of the consuming element, and the blows of their infuriated and resolute assailants. Expresses for assistance were sent off im mediately on the determination of the mob being known, and accord ingly Mr. Sheriff Speirs, Mr. Sheriff Jameson, Mr. List and other officials left town for the scene of disturbance, accompanied by about twenty of the city police. Sixty dragoons from Piershili likewise were sent out, by whose assistance nineteen Scotchmen, who were iden tified as having formed part of the mob, were apprehended and brought into Edinburgh. About forty dragoons and a large consta bulary force remained last night to gaard against further outrage. It is reported that a great number of the Irishmen in Edinburgh have resolved to go out to-day (Tuesday) and avenge their countrymen, but it is to be hoped that the active measures taken by the autho rities, supported by the effective auxiliary of the military, will deter them from adopting a step which would only entail serious conse quences on themselves, and protract an unseemly and disastrous st rife.—Elinburgh Advertiser. ACCIDENT TO THE MOST NOBLE THE MARQUIS Or BUTE.—dye are sorry that an accident, which might have been pro ductive of mere serious consequences, occurred to the Marquis of Bute on Wednesday last. His Lordship was riding on the road from Rothesay to Scoulag, when his horse came down, and he was pre cipitated several yards. With the excePt'on of tome abrasurea on the forehead, his Lordship escaped uninjured ; and, after staying a short time at Mid-Ascog farm, lie proceeded to Mountstewart. We understand his Lordship i n t en ded going to London in the course of that week, but thi s accident will probably delay his departure for some time.—Ayr observer.
