AMERICA. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) GREENCASTLE, July 22. The North American, from Quebec on the 11th inst., arrived here at 4.10 p.m. She brings 5,500 dole. in specie. (Per North American.) NEW YORK, July 10. The repulse of General Kilpatrick's cavalry is confirmed, but with the additional statement that at night.they were reinforced, and afterwards drove the Confederates three miles. General Kilpatrick was not killed, as reported. General Lee is at Hagerstown receiving ammu nition and preparing for another conflict in Mary land. His front extends from Bakersville to Funk town, and thence three to five miles round Hagers town. His position is said to be stronger for de fence than that held by the Federals at Gettysburg. He has sent his wounded and supplies across the Potomac, but none of his troops. There is no Federal force in Virginia on Lee's line of retreat. General Meade and Couch's armies are rapidly con centrating in General Lee's front, and an early engagement is expected. The Baltimore correspondent of the New York Herald reaffirms the statement that General Beau regard, with 40,000 men, has reinforced General Lee. The same correspondent says that on the day following the battle at Gettysburg Lee's army passed through Emmettsburg, and by the country roads north of that - place, from near Gettysburg, across South Mountain, towards Hagerstown. The movement was made in perfect order, without haste or confusion. General Stuart had 15,000 cavalry at Emmettsburg. The Baltimore American of the 7th estimates that 9,000 or 10,000' Confederate prisoners have been captured from Lee's army, in addition to numerous prisoners gathered up by the Federal cavalry, The American thinks the Confederate loss in killed and slightly wounded cannot fall below 12,000 or 13,000 men. It is doubtful if any Confederate artillery was captured. The same journal estimates the Federal losses in killed and wounded at 12,000. General Lee paroled 3,000 pri soners, but this parole, under the terms of the cartel, is said to be of no effect, as General Steele refused to agree it, and General Lee sent the prisoners to General Couch, who accepted the parole. The New York Herald says that in view of the fact that the work of putting down the rebellion may be said to be substantially accomplished, the question arises what policy should be pursued to accomplish the speedy and harmonious restoration of the Union. The Herald recommends president Lincoln to pro pose an amnesty to all the Southern people except the leaders of the rebellion, on condition of their re turning within a specified time to their allegiance to the Federal Government ; and, having thus re stored internal peace, America would have an opportunity upon sufficient provocations for a final and decisive settlement with France and England upon American affairs. The Monroe doctrine will be certainly brought to bear in the next Presidential election against Napoleon's Mexican intervention and England's perfidious neutrality during the re bellion. The same paper thinks now is the time for a peai.te meeting, when the North is victorious, and urges the New York merchants to hold a meeting aud request President Lincoln to offer an amnesty to the Southern people if they return to the Union. It is silly to talk of a war of extermination. There has been enough fighting to convice the rebels that the Union must and shall be preserved. The same journal also thinks that the speeches made by the President and Cabinet members at the late popular demonstration at Washington were not equal to the occasion. The speeches of Mr. Stanton, who is the smallest politician in office, and of Halleck, his rival in imbecility and incompetency, were characteristic of them both, Neither President Lincoln nor Seward profited by the occasion to add to their congratulations a few words of conciliation or invitation to the South to return to the Union, or to accept an amnesty. Such a course might have failed, but it was worth trying, and if accepted it would have been glorious to the President and to the country. No European statesman would have overlooked such a chance of adding a triumph of di plomacy to the triumph of arms, and of ending the war without further fighting. Mr. Lincoln endeavoured to talk without saying anything, and Mr. Seward avowed his willingness to shoulder a musket if necessary,although he knew there was not the slightest possibility of his ever being called upon to tread the war path. Such offers in men of his age and standing, after the fighting is over, are not sufficiently patriotic to avoid being ludicrous. The Herald concludes The New York mer- The New York linzes thinks that after the late events the Southern people can no longer rest under the delusion that Southern independence is sure of being established sooner or later. There will pro bably be a change in the mood of the South con cerning the war, but what complexion it will take, or what action it will prompt, cannot be conjectured. The Times thinks that the late events will check any new offer of intervention, unless it has already been made. Confederate General Taylor has 12,000 troops 40 miles above New Orleans. An infantry brigade is being raised for 60 days' service for the defence of New Orleans, A case of retaliation has arisen at Richmond. Two Federal captains have been selected for retalia tion for Burnside shooting two Confederate captains at Sandusky, Ohio. The day of execution is not yet fixed. The draft is progressing in New England, Penn sylvania and New York. The World contains the following account of the surrender of Vicksburg : "At eight on the morning of the 3d the Con federate General Bowen and Colonel Montgomery, bearers of a communication from General Pem berton, were led blindfolded into the Federal lines. General Pemberton's letter said, "Although I feel confident of my ability to resist your arms indefi nitely, in order to stop the furthei effusion of blood I propose that you appoint three commissioners to meet three whom I shall nominate, to arrange such terms as may best accomplish the result.' General Grant replied—' rhe appointment of commissioners is unnecessary. While I should be glad to stop the needless effusion of blood, the only terms I can en tertain are those of unconditional surrender. At the same time I and my army are willing to testify to the distinguished gallantry with which the defence has been conducted.' A privateer, supposed to be the Florida, has been seen off Gay Head burning a schooner and a brig. The New York TVorld says :—" Dix has aban doned White House and returned to Fortress Monroe. He has destroyed the Central Railroad bridges and torn up the track of the Fredericksburg road, and effectually destroyed the communication between Richmond and General Lee's army." General Neal Dow and staff have been captured inside the Federal lines. near New Orleans. The New York, Herald asserts that the question of peace has been discussed in the Federal Cabinet, and that a Cabinet crisis has been caused by a pro position of Mr. Seward to issue a presidential proclamation offering an amnesty to the Southern people, withdrawing the emancipation proclamation, suspending the Confiscation Act, and offering protection to the personal property and rights of the Southern people, except the leaders. The Attorney General Bates and Mr. Mont gomery Blair favour the scheme with modification. Messrs. Stanton and Chase violently oppose it. Mr. Wells also opposes it, but not so strongly. Mr. Lincoln had given no opinion, but his speech on the late serenade indicates that he favoured freeing the slaves before consenting to peace. The Republican party will shortly submit a petition to President Lincoln to the following effect :—They are willing to make peace ani restore the Union. Slavery to cease after the year 1875. Minors at that time would remain slaves till they are 21 years of age. The loyal states only would receive compensation for their negroes. A con vention would be called to revise the Federal Con stitution with a view to strike out the three-fifths provisions recognising slavery as the basis of repre sentative population, and providing for emancipa tion in accordance with the above programme. The New York, Herald of to-day asserts that Vice-President Stephens' message was a proposi tion from President Davis for a separate govern ment for the North and South, but only one Presi dent. This would avoid interference with Southern property and negroes, but make one foreign policy for both sections. "In the afternoon Generals Grant and Pember ton met between the lines, and after one hour's consultation settled the terms of surrender. General Pemberton urged that his soldiers might be paroled at Vicksburg, and furnished with rations to carry them to their lines. In view of the bravery they had displayed, and the advantages of the place, Gen. Grant consented. " The number of prisoners and wounded is said to be 18,000, of whom 12,000 are in fighting condi tion. The immediate cause of the surrender of the garrison was the exhaustion of supplies and ammu nition, and the failure of Gen. Johnstone to come to their aid." Another account says that all that has been writ ten about the sufferings of the Confederates in Vicksburg has been but half the truth. There were about 22,000 people in Vicksburg, 10,000 of whom are efficient soldiers. GOD. Grant had determined to assault the place on the day following that on which the surrender was made. It is stated the surrender will give thaFederal Government 100,000 troops to be employed in other quarters. The gribune says that the Secretary of War has given orders for mounting guns and garrisoning the forts in Portland Harbour. and has authorised the Governor of Maine to raise artillery companies for the defence of the coast towns. In reply to the committee of Louisiana planters, who stated that Louisiana wanted to return to her allegiance with the state constitution unimpaired, and requested President Lincoln to order the elec tion in November of state and Federal officers in accordance with the state constitution and laws, President Lincoln said he had reliable information that the respectable portion of Louisiana desired to amend the state constitution, and contemplated a convention for that purpose. This was sufficient reason why the committee should not act under the existing constitution. President Lincoln could not see how such a committee should facilitate military operations, and it might be used to em barrass them. The World says that a Federal expedition of 12,000 men, which was sent from White House, to cut a bridge across the South Anna River, had returned unsuccessful, having met a force at the place of their destination too large to cope with. Gen. Prentiss reports on the afternoon of the 4th, that although the rebels were badly whipped at Helena, Arkansas, there was no doubt they would renew the attack, and were massing their troops for that purpose. Gen. Prentiss's force was inferior to that of the Confederates, but with aid from Hurl burt and from the gunboats he thought the Confe derates might be severely beaten. Gen. Hurlburt was sending reinforcements. The steamers Alice, Racoon, Kate, Antonica, Elizabeth, Ellen, Beauregard, from Charleston, and the steamers Banchee, Charleston, Lizzy, Flora, and Fanny, from Wilmington, have all arrived at Nassau. NEW YORK, jnly 10, Evening. General Morgan, with 8,000 men, has captured Corydon, Indiana, and is advancing to Jefferson ville, where there are large Federal supplies. Busi ness is suspended at Indianopolis, and the Governor of Indiana has caned out 50,000 man. The Confederates have retired from Helena. LATEST. (By Telegraph to Cape Race.) NEW YORK, July 13, Evening. Generals Lee and Meade's armies confront each other, preparing for battle. A serious riot has occurred at New York, caused by the enforcement of the draft General Bragg has crossed the Tennessee River and destroyed the bridge at Bridgeport. It is stated that General Bragg will make the Tennessee River his future line of defence. It is supposed that the Confederates will abandon the Hunterville, Memphis, and Charleston Rail road. The _Richmond Enquirer of the 6th instant says that General Taylor has captured 7,000 Federals near New Orleans, and is marching on that city. The Southern papers state that Vice-President Stephen's visit to Washington was either to arrange for the exchange of prisoners or to inform the Federal Government that if private property was not respected the Confederates would retaliate. The counsel for the captors of the Peterhoffclaim the condemnation of the vessel and cargo, on the ground that the destination of the vessel was a blockaded port, and that even if it belonged to a line of vessels designed to go to Matamoras, yet there were traces that the destination of the cargo was Texas, the voyage to Matamoras being a contrivance to do indirectly what it was not practicable to do directly. If it was proved that the cargo was con traband of war, and that the owners contemplated the direct transit of the cargo through Matamoras to Texas, the counsel maintained that it did not help them that they took the vessel to a neutral port.

The Jackson, Mississippi, journals of the sth inst. state that the entire force under General Osterhaus, crossed the Big Black River on the 4th, and that it was supposed that fighting with Grant would be commenced. NEW YORK, July 11, Morning. Cannonading, was heard at Frederick yesterday, in the direction of Boonesboro. There was skir mishing between Jenkings's Confederate cavalry and the Federals, under Buford. Jenkings is said to have been captured. Gen. Lee's army is estimated at 50,000 men with 250 pieces of artillery. The Richmond papers speak of the occurrence of a fight between Gene. Meade and Lee, stating that the Confederate centre, under Hill, fell back, draw ing the Federals from their works, when Gene. Longstreet and Ewell advanced upon both Federal flanks and captured 4,000 Federal prisoners. The Confederates under Morgan have captured Salem, Indiana, and burned the depot of the Louis ville Chicago Railroad. Morgan has moved to strike the Louisville Indianopolis Railroad. The Federals are in close pursuit. Martial law has been declared in Louisville. All citizens have been ordered to enrol themselves, or to go North, Vicksburg advices of the 4th inst. stated that the terms of the surrender were, that the prisoners should be paroled, and that the officers should re tain their side arms and horses, 27,000 prisoners, 102 field pieces, 30 siege guns, and 50,000 stand of arms were captured. The capitulation was caused by destitution and prostration. 10,000 to 15,000 deserters from Gen. Bragg's arilly are reported to be in the country north of Franklyn, Tennessee. Gen. Rosencranz's army is at the bend of Elk River. New Orleans advices to the 4th inst. state that Port Hudson still held out. Public assemblages, except for public worship, are forbidden in New Orleans, without the permis ision of the commandant. No more than three per taons are allowed to assemble or congregate in the SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The case of Mr. Bewicke is one of those in which the honesty and compassion of the public have a deeper wisdom than the cau`ion of official persons, It is not wonderful, it is not even blam able, that gentlemen in the position of Sir G. Grey and the Solicitor-General should look at a matter of this kind in its relation to the general adminis tration of justice, that they should fear to establish a troublesome precedent, to excite hopes in others which they would have afterwards to disappoint, and, in fact, by giving compensation for one glaring wrong, to break down the principle that no person has a claim to compensation for anything he suffers through the process of criminal justice. In their eyes Mr. Bewicke's is merely a hard case, and they are unwilling that it should bring forth bad law. But though opposing Mr. Berkeley's motion through a sense of official responsibility, they are unable to deny the greatness of the victim's injury, and the scandal which such a wrong, if unremedied, brings upon the administration of English criminal law. We think that their reasoning and their con clusion were unsound, and that Mr. Bewicke might be compensated for his extraordinary misfortune without any breach of sound jurisprudence, or any chance of the Treasury being besieged by a legion of claimants. Although the outline of the case will dwell in the remembrance of our readers, we may once more mention the principal circumstances : Mr. Bewicke, of Threepwood-hall, in Northumber land, was defeated in an action at law, and the sheriff proceeded to levy on his property. How this functionary brought together his assistants does not appear, but they are alleged to have been men of the most villainous character. Felons, perjurers, if e -b ea t e rs, drunkards, were, according to M r . Berkeley, the executors of the law in that distant county. The sheriff's officers went to Mr. Bewieke's, but he refused, as he had a perfect right to do, to admit them to the house, and told them that there was sufficient for the levy outside. One of them then produced a pair of pistols, and Mr. Bewicke, seeing this, went for a revol ver. He barricaded himself in the house while the bailiffs remained in possession outside. The next day he wanted to fire the pistol out of the window that it might he clean. He told them what he was about to do. They answered, "Alt right, Sir," and he fired it, doing no harm, and, of c ourse, thought no more about it. But this act gave tti ruffians the id ea o f b r i ng in g an accusation of at tempted murder against him, probably withko was w the intention of extorting money. Mr. B held to b til, but thought too lightly o ' the cwlc matter to take proper steps to defend hims elf. .F he sheriff's officers swot a up to the mark, he was con victed, and The Trustees sented to four years' penal servitude. s t los of a goo s a of Greenwich Hospital, as lords of de manior, seized Mr. Bewicke'a furniture a nd Mr. Bewicke's convicted felon.

To what extent ! was it, then, practicable for Juarez to draw down fresh levies for the defence of the capital ? That important question remained unsolved. There were many who alleged, and not without great plausi ltility, that a fresh and more numerous army would: be arrayed at Mexico than bad held the French in check at Puebla. We have now seen, however, what , this hypothesis is worth. It appears from. more than one trustworthy source that Juarez has, hut between six end seven thousand men at the ut most, and that even they are tainted with disaffec tion. Taut even supposing them faithful to their chief, what stand can they possibly make against the French army, which the marshal now declares to have suffered but inconsiderably in numbers by their last march, and to be, in fact, an overpower ing force ? It was obvious from the first that when ever Juarcz should happen to lose Mexico all . would then depend on the manner in which he and Mexican d oCeosn "nore d e r a a p t ipoetaLr that might be supported by the Northern States of tile That the hour Northern o h r a t s h n e r o nw Statescem e, it care at all for Juarcz, or are ready to hold out a will fingerto probablysave b h r i i rn n . g u s soemwpeniledi nett bc iesWitvheersete intelligence weeks' u e i k a s n , lma later this head, for i m ts a d rs at h es i French are now at theacrifsiscwoehtY t ' h s ei d r e r s e p s a p t o c n h s . ibili T ti h e e s than that of in Mexico.

He must know perfeceil that no one of these three requisites of the ywell Mexi can are attainable by the successive military usur pations which under the name of presidential governments have hitherto brought little but curse and desolation upon the country. Marshal F or ey must therefore look to some substantial change in the political basis of Mexico. NV have been among those who have looked upon the ' French deviation from our original and limited scheme of intervention as of doubtful policy and of doubtful justice. We see nothing t o alter those convictions. But the course of events has now in a great measure rendered their considera tion obsolete. The French army is in Mexico to fulfil the high mission with which it had charged itself, and which its commander has just now for mally accepted anew. This we take to be now the aim of the French. If the Mexican people are really disposed to accept them as their pacificatory, much may no doubt be done. The capabilities of the Mexi cans are surprising to those who have seen them only under the injurious condition of civil war—the re sources of the country itself past calculation.

Mr. Be wicke's case clearly comes under that of Mr. Barber, and is even stronger, inasmuch as Mr. Barber was really con victed on circumstantial evidence, was really the victim of that " unavoidable possibility of miscar riage in the administration of justice " of which the Solicitor-General speaks ; while Mr. Bewicke had his liberty, character, wealth, and property sworn away by a set of miscreants, who, by the negligence of a public functionary, were entrusted with the exe cution of legal acts in the county of Northumber land. HERALD.—The news we publish this morning confirms that received by the last mail. Vicksburg has really fallen, after a resistance which will im mortalise in history the name of that gallant little eity. Even the Yankees, who have never before shown themselves capable of anything like gene rosity, are forced to acknowledge and to admire the desperate valour which has held out so long against a powerful flotilla and an army of 100,000 men. The North has not much to be proud of. After suf fering so severely that we are told that the accounts already given only revealed half the truth, Vicks burg has surrendered to famine and not to the foe. without supplies, without ammunition, disappointed of the hopes so long cherished of assistance from Gen. Johnstone, the garrison has at last capitulated on honourable terms. Such, at least, is the Northern account; and if this be true it is apparent that all the stories which have reached us, also from Northern sources, of communications open between Vicksburg and the right bank of the Mississippi, and also of abundant supplies stored in the city, have been*un true. A full and reliable history of the siege and the surrender will probably reach us, ere long, from Southern authority. In the meantime all that is certain is, that the victory is more profitable than glorious to the Federal army. They have failed, after repeated efforts, to storm the place ; its fall is due not to their exertions, but to the original weakness of the garrison, in the want of adequate stores to stand a siege. But the price, however acquired, is one of the highest value. Only one strong point on the whole course of the Mississippi is now held by the Confederates, and when that is gone—if, that is to say, Port Hudson share the fate of Vicksburg—the Confederacy will be cut in two. The States east of the river will be blockaded on all sides, and will find it almost as difficult to obtain supplies from Texas and Arkansas as from Europe. This is a serious calamity, but we mast not exaggerate its severity. The States of the West will not be lost to the Confederacy. The Federal flotilla will not be able to prevent communication, and not even, in all cases, to hinder the crossing of the troops. Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana will have to fight their own battle ; bat their immense extent, their martial population, and their indomitable resolution, will make it as impossible for the Federals to sub due them as to conquer their sister States of the East ; and when the war is over, if the Confederates succeed—and no one doubts that they must succeed —in establishing their freedom, these States will be at once abandoned by the North and re-united to their sisters. Nor is the Mississippi really opened to the commerce of the West. W bile the war lasts no trading vessels can safely navigate that river except under convoy. They may be fired upon from the banks ; they may be set in flames ; they may be captured by the daring guerillas of the South-West. The worst evil in the fall of Vicks burg is that it sets tree an army said to number a hundred thousand men, to burn, plunder, and mur der, as they march through Mississippi, either to fall on the rear of General Bragg, to assist Banks at Port Hudson, to ravage Alabama, or to complete the establishment of military tyranny in Louisiana. It is a significant fact that the news of the fall of Vicksburg and the repulse of Lee was instantly fol lowed by an order for a conscription, to take effect immediately. It is clear that the Federal Govern ment was in desperate straits ; that a victory had become necessary to its very existence ; and that if none had occurred it would have been driven to in vent one. Men must be had if the war is to go on ; and even in presence of a Southern inva sion men will not come forward, and the Government dare not take them, except at the lucky moment when good news has excited the people to a fit of warlike enthusiasm. As it is, the draft has been resisted--a riot has occurred in New York, on the nature of which the gravest issues depend. Hit have been serious and success ful it will probably receive the support of Governor Seymour, and with his support riot would become revolution, When the mail left two great battles were impending ; one between Lee and Meade, one between popular liberty and Federal usurpation in the Empire City. If the Federal power be worsted in either of these engagements, there is a hope of peace—if unsuccessful in both, it may prolong the war till the South is devastated, the North ruined, and Lancashire reduced to bankruptcy —but the issue of the war remains as certain as ever, and the independence of the Confederacy is still an accomplished fact. POST.—The despatch of Marshal Foray from the Mexican capital to the Emperor of the French re presents the Mexican people in a new character. Hitherto we have known them as for the mast part opposed,to their invaders. But as the French arms advance, either they come upon sections of the com munity differing in opinion from those of Puebla and Vere Cruz ; or otherwise the tide of invasion has carried before it all the opposition with which it was before threatened. It appears that in Mexico itself, t'ae reception which has been given to the French marshal and his army has been one continuous ovation. Nor are we at all surprised that this should be so. Hitherto there have been no means of arriving at the opinions of the inhabitants of the capital. They were crushed by the worst of all despotisms—a corrupt military (or rather a brigand) usurpation, without justice and without even laws for any one. This was, in a word, the Government of Mexico. It must have been detested by every one bearing the spirit of freedom or pos sessing the mere instinct of security and right. But it is a part of such a Government to with hold any expression of the popular will. Fora Mexican to assert a will of hie own affairs was as inadmissible as to assert that hi s private property was not liable to sequestrationann in pub lic.s seizure by the State. From this state of n ty e r hanl and insecurity, while it was clear, on the rl ) ained, it that public opinion could not be to ‘f infer was, on the other hand, pretty what that public opinion really Wee elean at this übs while, however, it was perp show itself at lic feeling did not distinctly lezin As one moment it had Orizaba and at Puebla. Mexicans were resolved to resent invasion at all c osts, an d appeared as though the , s ide even with th e i r _ 'ban Wuhan the European invader usurper rather e ged. In Now, however, all is place of the markedthe earlier part of the slow marches which French advance fro m cam p a i g n, the • • Puebla to as rapid as it has be en Mexico has beentriumphant. Juarez has n ot even a ttempte d _ to contest th e posses , sion of the capital. The i nhabitants of Mexico have r eceived Mars halForey as th e i r d el i verer from an i n tolerable bon dage. In place of the artillery and small arms of Puebla, the French have been assailed by storms of garlands and bouquets flung from every window. To judge from the language of theCommender-in-Chi ef, who is no boaster, the r eception thus given to them must have been very remarkable and significant. Nor was this all. The municipality cam eforward to ask Marshal Forey for the blessings of justice, order, and moderate liberty—that is, for a complete political revolution. The marshal did not attempt to abridge or shrink from his imperial master's programme. He pro mised the municipality of Mexico all these things. We as sume, therefore, that he is still prepared to put this question of their political future before the Mexican people, and not to leave them until that question shall have been solved and the political future of Mexico be called into present existence. A people may prefer to owe the benefit of good go vernment to themselves rather than to a conqueror. But they may also fairly prefer to owe it to a conqueror than not to enjoy it at all. It now appears that Juarez has but 6,000 men t o support him, With this remnant he has retired northwards, it is stated, to San Luis Potosi ; but it would be more correct to say simply in that direc tion ; for he did not appear to have retreated to any great distance from Mexico when Marshal Forey's despatch of the 10th of .) une left Mexico. This SUMMER ASSIZES. OXFORD CIRCUIT—STAFFORD, July 21. CIVIL COD.2T. (Before Mr. Baron Martin ands Common Jury.) NIXON V. MOSS. This was an action in which the plaintiff claimed. damages from the defendant for the breach by him of his promise to marry her. Mr. Gray and Mr. H. James were for the plain tiff; Mr. Huddleston, Q.C. for the defendant, The plaintiff's name is dewy Ann Nixon, and she is the daughter of one John Nixon, a master crate maker, of Tunstal ; and the defendant, whose name is Joseph Moss, is a builder and stonemason at Tunstal. As long back as 1848 the plaintiff had a child, which was affiliated on the defendant. In 1850 she had another child, said to be the child of one Fuge. Subsequently the defendant again ap peared on the scene, and resumed his visits to her, and in 1854 she had another child, of which the de fendant was the father. After the birth of the second child, the mother of the plaintiff heard the defendant often promise to " alter the thing" and marry the plaintiff. He had, however, now deceived her beyond forgiveness, for he had married another woman last November. It was proved that he was the owner of six houses in Tunstal. Mr. Huddleston did not call witnesses, but ridi culed the action for its groundlessness and want of romance, and blamed the promoters of it for raking up the folly of the defendant's youth. The learned Judge endorsed the epithet " unro mantic," and stated to the jury that, if they were satisfied that the promise had been made and broken, then the plaintiff was entitled to compensation for not being made the wife of a man in the defendant's position of life, and also for the injary done to her feelings by being disappointed in a matter the most important of her life to her; and The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—da mages, £2O. Mr. Justice Byles sat in the Crown Court, but the cases were of a light and very uninteresting cha racter. JULY 22. CIVIL SIDE. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common Jury.) JONES T. JEFFRIES. This was an action brought by the plaintiff Ann Jones, against the defendant, James Jeffries, for :the breach of his promise to marry her. Mr. H. James and Mr. Brindley were for the plaintiff; Mr. Matthews for the defendant. The plaintiff, at the time of the defendant's intro duction to her, was the barmaid at the Blue Bell Inn, at Stone, and the defendant was a joiner and builder in the same place. The defendant only de nied making the promise. The plaintiff's case was proved by a Miss Stretch, whom the plaintiff suc ceeded as barmaid at the Blue Bell, and who turned dressmaker, living with her mother at Stone, and visited the landlady of the Blue Bell after she had left. She spoke to seeing the defendant with Miss Jones continually, and to their walking out of an evening for hours together, and to hearing the defendant tell Mrs. Dugmore, the landlady of Blue Bell, in answer to the question whether hie intentions were honourable, that he intended to marry Miss Jones at Christmas last. This occurred in October last, and in December Mr. and Mrs. Dugmore left the Blue Bell, and the successor at the inn no longer required a barmaid; upon which the defendant begged Miss Jones not to take an : other situation, as h e would make her his wif e , and Miss Stretch said she.cou ld give her a hom e f or a month or two. Th e plaintiff accordingly went to the Stretches and has been there ever since. Whil e there the defendant con continued h is visits, and re peated to Miss Stretch his i ntent ion to marry the plaintiff. In t he middle of March l as t h e too k a house for h i mse lf and Miss Jones, as h e sa id ; h e bought furn i tu re, sho wed a pattern of a wedding dress to Miss Jones, who disapproved it as too old fashioned. He also gave her a gold guard. It appe ared . also that the plaintiff bad given u an other suitor for Mr. Jeffries. The detend . ant p con . - tinned to v isit . Miss Jones till a Sa turday in April, w h e n his visits ceased, and on the Thursday follow ing he married a Miss Weetman. It seems he had been spoken to by the witness about . M iss . Weetman, but he always decla f re h d . she . . was his cousin, and gave that explanation For the defen dan t no witness was called, where vi.sits. upon Mr. James proceeded to reply, and a curious point arose, f or when he proceeded to discuss the damages he was stopped by The learned Judge, who ruled that he must con fine himself to a discussion of the evidence as far as it affected the issue—viz., whether a promise had been made or not, and must not touch upon the damages. Mr. James tendered a bill of exceptions to his lordship's ruling, and After Mr. Matthews bad addressed the jury, His lordship summed up, saying that it was a case for substantial damages, and, if the defendant had been a person of substance, in his opinion the jury might well give heavy damages, but as they had no proof that the defendant in this case was worth anything, it would be useless to do so. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—. Damages, £5O.
