ENTRANCE IN PICCADILLY. The proposed line is intended to leave Derby on the south, passing near to Etwall and crossing the Dove at Tutbury, to continue through the valley of that river to Uttoxeter ; it will then proceed by the intervening valleys, by Longton and Lane End to Stoke in the heart of the Potteries, and thence to Crewe ; the last link (from Stoke to Crewe) is intended to be supplied by the Grand Junction Potteries Branch.—The line will thus traverse a district at present totally without railway accommodation, and (except for a portion of it) not included in any other project. A. preliminary view has .beest taken, and the line presents no engineering difficulties of importance. The line is proposed to be- taken in such a direction as to avoid objections by gentlenien having residences near it, and the land owners generally. • The saving of distances between the places proposed to be thus connected will be as follows : ONE GUINEA " WELLINGTON BOOTS .MADE TO MEASURE, By G.

One-half of the required number of shares will be reserved for landowners and parties locally interested, and the remainder (which the Committee take this opportunity of observing, will necessarily be of very limited amount) will be allotted to parties giving unexcep tionable references, and the Provisional Committee announce that the number of shares alloted to any member of their body shall in no case exceed two hundred.

This line of railway is projected to supply the required link in the chain of railway communication between the counties of Lancaster and York, and the Ports on the North-Eastern and North-Western parts of the Kingdom. _ It is intended to commence at or near the proposed stations of the Leeds and Bradford Extension and North-Western Railways at Skip ton, whence it will proceed by Bolton Bridge, and thence either by the valley to the south of the Harrogate Road, as far as Pace Gate, by West End, across the River Washburn, and along the banks of the Nidd, by Hampthswaite (or otherwise from Bolton Bridge, along the valley of the Wharf, by Addingham, Ilkley, Burley, and Otley) to Harrogate and Knaresborough, near which it is intended to form a junction either with the line proposed by the Great North of England Railway Company called the " Harrogate and Ripon Junction," or the " Leeds and Thirsk Railway," and also with the " Harrogate and Church Fenton Railway," which latter line is projected by the York and North Midland Railway Company. ' The length of this connecting line of railway, as at present pro posed (including a branch to-Pateley Bridge, in the event of the line be the valley of the Nidd being adopted), will be about twenty-seven miles ; the districts through which it will pass abound with lead mines and lime-stone of a well-known and excellent quality, but from the present total waet of railway or canal communication, and the local' traffic being conveyed by carts over Bad and difficult roads, the neighbourhood is now without the means of obtaining coals, except at a most enormous expense, and its resources are therefore very partially developed. This line of railway will altogether remove these disadvantages and will, in conjunctioa with other railways now in °potation or in Course of construction, effect a direct communication between the ports of Liverpool, Lancaster, Preston, and Fleetwood en the north west, and the ports of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Whitby, Scar borough, and the free port of the Tees on the north-east, and will aLso produce 'a saving' of hpW'ards of forty miles in distance over any existing or proposed railway. It will also perfect the communications between the important manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, comprising the great populations of Bury, Holton, Blackburn, Accrington, Burnley, Colne, Clitherde, Iltldderstield, Halifax, Keighley, and other towns in the neighbourhood, and the vast agricultural districts of the North Riding of Yorkshire and the north-eastern parte of England and Scotland, and will be a means of mutually opening out these great agricultural and manufacturing districts to the products of each other, as well as to the coal-fields of Durham, in a manner hitherto im practicable. It will Also, afford a direct route from the north-eastern parts of the kingdom and the East Riding of Yorkshire to the lake wiliDastihrbeecie:norsand will receive a great support' front the districts of Lancashire; Westmoreland, and Cumberland.

BANKERS—The Union Bank of London, the National Bank of Ire land, the Provincial Bank of Ireland, the Edinburgh and Glasgow Bank, at Edinburgh and Gl asgow; th e Li verpool Bank, Liverpool ; the Manchester and Salford Bank, Manchester. The object of this line is to connect the important ports of Galway and Belfast, and to transect the midland counties of Ireland. Commencing at Galway the line will pass through or near the fol lowing important places :—Tuam, Castleblaney, Mount Talbot, Ath league, Roscommon, Lanesborough, Longford, Newton Forbes, Elphin, Carrick-on-Shannon, Beturbet, and Clones, where it will form a junc tion with the Newry and Enniskillen Railway, thus forming a direct communication between the ports of Galway and Belfast. It will at the same time afford, in connexion with other lines, accommodation to the counties of Limerick, Clare, Galway, Mayo, Roscommon, Longford, Leitrim, Fermanagh, Cavan, Monaghan, Londonderry, Antrim, Armagh, and Down, and p ass i ng b y or near to the Arigna iron mines, and the great coal and limestone fields in Connaught, it will essentially . :pronrote the agricultural and commercial in terests of those places. It will also complete an important chain of railway communication between the port of Galway in the west (one of the most capacious in the United Kingdom, and which must, ere long, become a packet station for steamers to and from America, Re.), and the port of Bel fast in the northeast, where there are constantly steam packets pro ceeding to Glasgow and the ports on the western coast of Scotland, and which will be brought into cheap and rapid communication with each other. It is to be observed that whilst almost every other line of railway hitherto projected diverges from Dublin, no line is as yet proposed which intersects the inland counties. By crossing, as it will, other main lines, it will be a feeder to them, and it will, in return, receive from them a considerable amount of traffic in passengers and neer chandize.. A preliminary survey of the district is being made ; the line will pass for nearly the entire length through the table land of Ireland, so that the gradients are particularly favourable ; there will, moreover, be no tunnelling, nor any engineering work of difficulty. From the estimates which have been made it is confidently expected that a return of 10 per cent. on the capital will be realised. The act of in corporation willlimit the liability of the Shareholderato the amount of shares which they may take. • Application for shares to be addressed to the Committee, at the Company's Offices, 65, Moorgate-street, London, or to the under mentioned brokers :—Mr. Anthony Lawrie, Liverpool ; Mr. May, Liverpool ; Messrs.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF .EXCHEQUER, May 15. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Sir F. Pot Locx, Chief Baron, at Guildhall.) pn.vrr V. BENNETT.—BP.FACH OF PROMISF.. Mr. Cockburn and Mr. M. Smith were Counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Jervis and Mr. Lush appeared for the de fendant. This was an action in which the plaintiff, a young woman of 30 or th erea b outs, sought to recover comp ensation from the defendant for the breach of that contract which is the tenderest, and sometimes the slenderest, between the two sexes —namely, a promise of marriage. The circumstances under which this case was presented to the jury were cer tainly most singular. In answer to the complaint of the plaintiff the defendant pleaded a denial of the promise, and also that he was justified in breaking it in consequence of the loose and immodest conduct of the plaintiff. In support of the first issue the plaintiff, as is usual in such cases, relied upon the " love letters" of the defendant, many of which were read to the jury; but it might not be amiss to premise that the plaintiff was the daughter of a most respectalsle man, who had for nearly 40 years acted as foreman in a large upholstery shop in London, the plaintiff, his eldest daughter, being a dressmaker by trade. In 1838 Mrs: Pratt died, and the plaintiff Flaying falleu sick in consequence of her attejtion to her dying parent, went into Sussex to pay a visit to her friend, a Mrs. Strong. At her house she met the defendant, then a youth of nineteen or twenty, and very soon received attentions from him of so marked a character as to excite attention. Matters con tinued this, the defendant playing the lover most assidu ously till 1842, when he openly avowed himself, and the correspondence commenced, to which allusion has already been made. The defendant, it would appear, was the eldest son of afarmor, who was separated from his wife. Mrs. Ben nett lived at Camberwell with the second son John, and with them the plaintiff became acquainted after the attachment had sprung up with the defendant. This being the state of the parties, the first letter written to the plaintiff was in January, 1842, and that, which was of an ordinary character, was followed by several others, all of which breathed un mixed love and affection to the plaintiff, prose being accom panied by verse in delightful variety. Of these the following effusions are samples:— " Plurnmer's-plain, Nov. 20. "My dearest Louisa,—l am happy to say I have had the pleasure of receiving your kind and affectionate letter, but was sorry to hear you have been troubled with tooth-ache. I have been told that is a sign when a person does not love true, but I am sure that is not the case with my dear Louisa; for I am quite convinced that her love for me is sincere, and I hope lasting. My dear, you wished to know if I returned home on Tuesday. I did so, or I should have come and seen you again, for that is the only pleasure I have or desire. I hope soon to have the pleasure of being with you for ever. How blest shall I be when that time comes, for it is very un comfortable for us both, situated as we are, with two unfeel ing patents, that studies to make us uncomfortable; but be advised by me and keep your spirits up, for I hope there will be a change for the better soon, for I am cornpletly tired of being a bachelor any longer. Don't you think it is time I was? And the cold weather is coming on —what shall I do? Buy a pair of blankets or cuddle with you? I only wish I had a comfortable home to take you to, I would not be a bachelor any longer ; but I hope soon, to have a comfortable place where we shall enjoy ourselves. I long for that time to come. I was at Horsham fair on Friday last, and bought some more pigs very cheap. lam sorry, my dear Louisa, I did not see , you at Smithfield when you were there. . . . I forgot to tell you in my last letter that John (his brother) said he thought it very strange that you had not been once to see them (John and his mother) or wrote. I hope you wilt go and see them, for you know he is a strange chap. I know you will go to oblige me." " P.S. Excuse haste. Please write by return of post, and let me know how vou are." This was relieved by some verses of the following calibre:— " Let me hold thee to my heart, And every care resign; And we shall never, never part— My heart and all is thins." IThen again, in another letter, the defendant thus apostro. phises the fair milliner:— "Art thou not dear unto my heart? Oh, search that heart and see; And from my bosom tear the part • That beats not true to thee. "But to that bosom thou art dear— More dear than words can tell— And if a thought be cherished there, 'Tis loving thee too well." On a third occasion the defendant presented the plaintiff with some stanzas, of which the two first ran as follow : "All hopeless of relief— Incapable of rest : In vain I strive to vent a grief That's not to be express'd. "This rage within my veins No reason can remove; Of all the mind's most cruel pains, The sharpest, sure, is love." __ _ So the correspondence continued 'till October, 1844, the de fendant constantly visiting London, on which occasions he took up his abode near the lagings of the plaintiff, who re sided with her father, in Lisson-street, New-road. On these occasions he took his meals at her house, and continued his addresses till the 4th of October. On the 17th, however, of the same month, he actually married another lady. On this the plaintiff, naturally enraged, wrote to his father, threaten ing legal proceedings —a communication which elicited from the defendant the following extraordinary letter, the circum stance, alluded to therein bein g th e accidental firing of Miss Pratt's bed one night by her father's incautious use of s lighted candle : " Jana, 184. Louisa Pratt—l have this day seen a lett u ry2o er you wrote s to my father some time since, saying you intend taking law pre.. ceedings against me. I now tell you that you had better be cautious what you do, for so sure that you act as you say you mean to do, you will with' your father have serious cause to repent it. You have, perhaps, forgot I have some letters of yours. Were they exhibited to certain parties,yeit and your father would be 'placed in a most awful situation. One in particular, dated the 25th of February last; wherein you state the particulars most fully that your father set fire to the bed in your apartments. You claimed of the insurance office the money for the articles that were burnt, and had the money for them, and that the inmates , of the house sup. posed that the fire was accidental. " Now, I must tell you the law punishes crimes of this Sort with death. I have no wish whatever to have the crime made public, but if you drive me to it, I will take your let ter to the insurance company for them to act on it, although it would be most painful to my feelings to do it. YOU had better, therefore, send me a letter signed in your full name, saying you never will take any law proceedings whatever against me, but if I do not receive such a letter from you, addressed for me at my father's house by Saturday, the 25th instant, securely sealed, I shall then say I am justified in acting as I have said I will. Therefore do not deceive your• self, for you have caused my father to refuse me what I had witnesserisiersvtioncgd betoewnardscalleato other, 8 defence defendant, w hoped for, and should have had ; but now my prospecta ° ll* blasted, and I intend taking a situation in London directly. As it regards your conduct, I do uot intend to say mu* now, and I hope you will not, by your condUct, comfe oni l ms • to expose you now, as I can do, and which e‘c 7ould every prudent person to discard yon.- 1 " G.

The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state that he would accept the challenge given to him by his Learned Friend, and prove to the satisfactiOh of the jury that the plaintiff was a most immodest and improper person. Few people would suspect that at the time she was allowing the defendant to address her in the passionate strains they had heard, she was actually engaged in can, ing on the moat familiar, if not illicit, intercourse with his own brother, John, of whom mention was made in the letters of the brother. •Shir was actually herself writing to his in terms quite as strong and passionate as those which George was addressing to her; and her letters to him would show that she was carrying on the same game with both brothers. These letters the Learned Gentlemanspoke of the ttreonthreera,d John,hurriedlyln terms to the which bespoke themjuwryh,and s hee h t warmest interest and attachment. In one she writes to hiss', so , but time w ill " You say in your last note that 1 enjoy G . eorge's societ y more ew than Ido yours. Perhaps you think In another she speaks of herself as his poor_ Louisa," and always signed herself as his " attached Linsa," or in terms equally significant ; while in another, speaking of John's jealously of his brother, and of her ovinleelings to wards him;she'says " I shall ever esteem and respect George for his_kindness towards me p but my happiness is to be found in your society." This correspondence was unknown to Mrs, Bennett, or to any one else, till this action was brought, when John, hearing of the letters to and from his brother, gave up his own to the solicitor. These and other circum s t ances which would be proved, wou ld g o to she* : that' vilether the plaintiff was actually guilty of misconduct or not, yet the de- _ fendant was jiistifieln refusing to marry her. The Learaed..
