IMPERIAL PARLIAIVIENT. HOUSE OF LORDS--(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Earl of HARROWBY presented petitions from Hull, and Cowes, Isle of Wight, against the o p enin g of public-houses on Sundays. BANKRUPTCY (SCOTLAND) BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving the com mittal of this bill explained that its object was to assi milate as much as possible the bankruptcy law of Scot land with that of England, and to make better provision for the prevention of fraudulent bankrupts in Scotland. Lord BROUGHAM did not think that the bill went to the root of the evil which existed in the Scotch bankruptcy law. It only applied little provisions to the great defects in the law, and he was afraid it could not prevent the practice which now prevailed amongst Scotch traders, of giving one creditor an unjust prefer ence over others. He admitted, however, that the bill was, on the whole, a step in the right direction, and he was prepared to give it such attention and support as the importance of the subject demanded. Then there was omitted altogether the public examination of the bankrupt, and he thought also that it was most desirable that that the question of certificate should be left to the decision of the court, and not to the creditors. Whilst a commission was sitting and inquiring into the ex pediency of an assimilation of the bankruptcy law of England and Scotland, he did not think that was the proper time for carrying through a change in the law which was not more urgent now than it was six or seven years ago. He did not think that a delay of six or seven months could make much difference to the people of Scotland. This bill was not going in the right direction in some respects. Petitions bad been presented by the mercantile community, in favour of his larger and more comprehensive measure, and as that had been referred to the commission, he did not see why this bill should not also be referred to it. (Hear.) The LORD CHANCELLOR said that if he for a moment supposed that the pushing on of this measure could in the slightest degree interfere with or damage the larger measure of his noble and learned friend for improving the bankruptcy law of Scotland, or in any manner interfere withithe inquiry before the commission, he would yield to the suggestion of his noble and learned friend for postponement. But he would appeal to his noble and learned friend himself if he could say that this bill interfered in the slightest degree with his bill. The object of the present bill was to make better the provi sions of the texisting bankruptcy law of Scotland, but this would not prevent the larger measure of his noble and learned friend from being considered at a future time. (Hear.) The bill then passed through committee. BATTERSEA PARK BILL. This bill passed through committee. WESTMINSTER BRIDGE BILL. The bill passed throingh committee. GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH (No. 3) BILL. On the motion for the secen I reading of this bill, The Marquis of SA_LISBURY objected to some of the provisions of the bill, and hoped that the Govern ment would give a pledge to alter it in committee. The Duke of ARGYLL said that it would be impos sible for him to give smeh a pledge at the present time in the absence of the noble lord who had charge of the bill. The Marquis of SALISBURY repeated his objections at great length. The Duke of AR,G 7 YLL replied ; and the bill was then read a second time. LAND IZEVENUES BILL. This bill passed threet:gli committee. COINAGE OFFENCES (COLONIES) BILL. Lord STANLEY (of .Alderley) moved the second reading of this bill. After a few remarks from Lord MONTEAGLE, the bill was read a second time. TRANSPORTATION BILL. The amendments in this bill were sported and agreed to. PUBLIC-HOUSES (SCOTLAND) BILL, The amendments in this bill were reported and agreed COLONIAL CHURCH REGULATION BILL. The Bi'hon of OXFORD moved that this bill should be committed pro fornia, with a view to its being recom mitted on Thursday, and some amendments introduced, when the discussion might be taken. Lord REDESDALE took objection to some of the provisions of the mill._ The Bishop of OXFORD gave a brief explanation ; and the bill was then committed pro fcr na. METROPOLITAN BUILDING- ACT FURTHER AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a third time arid passed. LA W OF LANDLORD AND TENANT IN IRE- LA NI). The Marquis of CLANRICARDE laid on the table a bill on this subject, and briefly stated its provisions. He said the subject had excited much interest in Ireland. The draft of the bill he now submitted was prepared by Sir W. Somerville, assisted by other gentlemen, in the winter of 1931 ; but circumstances had prevented its being laid before Parliament. It was based on the soundest princi ples ; it violated no rights, and introduced some important amendments into the law. It was meant to deal with the whole subject. There were already four or five bills before that and the other house on the same subject ; and it was most important that the question should be dealt with generally. His bill contained fewer clauses than were contained in the Leasing Powers Bill, now on their lordships' table. It was a merit of his bill that it con tained no novel or original principle. The great princi ple embodied in it was, that the rights of both parties should rest on contract, that those rights should be in violable, and that easy remedies should be provided. The details were divided into five heads—relating to leasing powers, rights of tenants, rights of landlords, compensation for improvements, and the procedure by which these rights and compacts were to be enforced. All questions would be referred to the decision of a single tribunal, the assistant-barrister, with power of appeal. He hoped their lordships would compare this with the other bills before them. The subject was so important that a single false step would be fatal to the rights of property in Ireland. (Hear, hear.) In the two bilis on their lordships' table, there were enactments which they would be astonished to find there. One was a provision making landlords liable for improvements made by tenants without their con currence. In the Leasing Powers Bill there was a pro vision by which a tenant for life might wholly defeat all the provisions of the settlement. This showed the ne cessity of closely looking into the details of these mea sures. He made no complaint about the lateness of the session—he was ready to sit on till winter if necessary ; but it was important that they should not pass bills on this subject without examining them most minutely. They must show the people o f Ireland that they were under the same law as the people of England. (Hear.) The Earl of DON OUGHMORE hoped that the Go vernment would allow all the bills to go before a select committee, so that a properly considered and carefully weighed measure might he produced.. The bill was then read a first time. SUCCESSION DUTY BILL. The Earl of ABERDEEN moved the first reading of this bill, which had been brought up from the Commons. Agreed to. The noble earl fixed the second reading of the bill for Friday next. The house adjourned at a few minutes after 7 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY.) EDINBURGH AND CANONGATE ANNUITY TAX ABOLITION BILL. -- - On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. MACAULAY presented a petition from 7,000 inhabitants of Edinburgh in favour of the bill. Mr. J. B. SMITH presented petitions against the The L ORD -ADVOCATE moved the second reading of this bill. This tax had been first levied in 1661, for the support of the town ministers of Edinburgh, to supply the withdrawal of the revenue of the Bishopric of Orkney. The tax had, however, led to bickerings and ill-feeling, and the matter having been considered by a select committee of the house, they recommended a settlement of the tax, which was substantially the same in all its parts as the bill now laid upon the table of the house. The tax was levied upon house property, with an exemption of the College of Justice,_ the judges, barristers, and attorneys, to the amount of 6 per cent. The number of ministers at the present time receiving was 18. The proposition of this bill was to reduce the tax from 6 to 3 per cent., to abolish the exemption of the College of Justice, anti to reduce the number of ministers from 18 to 15. The tax will be made a regular municipal tax, and paid into the Conso lidated Fund ; and to make up for the reduction of the tax, the revenue of the Deans of the Chapel P.,oyal which now amounted to about 1,5001. a year, and were enjoyed by the Principal and the Professor of Biblical Criticism in the university, would be after the death of the pre sent holders paid to ,the account of the tax, and he believed that in a short time the revenu e would amount to 2,2001. In the meantime, until the falling in of these Deaneries of the Chapel Royal, an additional one per cent. would be charged. The stipend for each minister would be 5001. a year. This proposition was almost the same as that of the e latethe bill, h Go l, - vernment, and he hoped the whousehwiodul,ldif not settled,p as and settle a much-vexed question, must inevitably give rise to great agitation and ill feeling. Mr. J. B. SMITH moved as an amendment inendernnetnhst, on the t the bill be read a second time this day si ground that it was to impose a tax on dissenters nters Th to e support churches which they did not frequent. hon. gentleman went into a variety of statistics, to sho w th a t th e c h urc h es, f or th e su pport of which this tax was to be levied, were empty and un attended, and that the pe rsons on whom it was levie d , reallyHe con attended other churches whi c h th ey supporte d th e mselves. _ tended th a t th ere was no right to appropr i ate the re venues of the deans of the Chapel Royal to the purpose of supplying the tax ; they were not ecclesiastical property, though they might have been so before the abolition of episcopacy, but then they at once became national property. The proper way of dealing with this question was to return to the state of things which existed before the year 1806: to repeal that act, which was obtained by fraud, and to reduce the number of ministers to six, which was all that the town of Edinburgh was originally liable to maintain. Mr. HADFIELD seconded the amendment., H e condemned the proposed tax as being one for the maintenance of religious doctrines ,to Which the majority of the people were opposed ; and he teas satisfied the Government would not o bt ain any honour in the country by giving the bill their countenance. He trusted that so detestable a bill would not receive the assent of the house. Mr, IVIACAULAY supported the bill on the same principle on which he had voted for the measure for the reduction of the Irish bishops, and said he should with out the smallest apprehension, after voting for the bill, present himself before his constituents, to whom he owed as much as any member of the house. The right hon. gentleman then pointed out the grievances of the inha bitants of Edinburgh, which he divided into three heads--first, that the State had laid on them the charge of an enormously great Church Establishment ; secondly, that it had exempted from that charge people who were best able to bear it ; and thirdly, that it had taken away those ancient Church lands which ought to have formed part of the charge ; and said the remedies which the bill proposed were, first, the diminution of the number of the clergy ; next, the abolition of the privileges of the College of Justice, who were exempted from the tax ; and lastly, the application of the whole or part of the revenues of the deaneries of the Chapel Royal. This bill, like every other, respected existing rights. Indeed, he trusted no bill would ever be introduced into the house which would interfere with the vested rights of property. (Cheers.) The view of those who proposed the bill was that in no case whatever should a single farthing pass out of the consolidated fund into the pockets of the ministers of Edinburgh, and be was ready in committee to agree to any suggestion for securing that object. Its principles had been affirmed by three successive governments, and had been approved of by a committee which had patiently and deliberately investigated into the subject. The hon. member who moved the amend ment even himself distinctly agreed to all these prin ciples. Therefore, for the sake of peace in Edinburgh, peace in Scotland, and for the sake of the Established Church, he implored the house not to reject the bill. It was unnecessary .to remind the house what melan choly outrages and events had been the consequence of the tax. Could anything be conceived more pain ful than a minister being compelled to call out soldiers in order to protect himself in attending meetings ? The unpopularity of the tax differed from that of any other. There was a great distinction between an unpo pular Church and an unpopular army or preventive ser vice. A Church which was hated was worse than use less, for it existed only to inspire respect, and if it gave rise to feelings opposite to respect, it had better not exist at all. (Cheers.) In conclusion, he again implored the house not to sanction the support of an useless and unne cessary institution by means which could only cause it to be hated. (Cheers.) Col. BLAIR opposed the bill, and recommended that it should be amended so as to be acceptable to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. Lord SEYMOITR likewise opposed the measure. He admitted the annuity tax was a grievance, and that its abolition was desirable ; but the provisions in the bill were so objectionable that he could not give them his assent. He could not see any reason why the con solidated fund should be made liable to the support of the Church of Edinburgh, which would be the result of the bill. His other principal objection to the bill was that it would take away the money which belonged to the deans of the Chapel Royal. He conceived that the real grievance was not the tax itself, which had existed for 200 years, but that the churches of Edinburgh were empty, and he recommended that, in order to get rid of that evil, they should proceed in Edinburgh in the same way that they did in London, where the useless churches in the city were removed to neighbourhoods where they were wanted. He warned the house that if it assented to the bill, it would impose an annual 'charge on the consolidated fund. _ _ Mr. BOUVERIE did not approve of some of the de tails of the bill, but should support the second reading, considering that it presented the only reasonable chance of obtaining a fair settlement of the question of the an nuity tax. Mr. JOHN MACGREGOR opposed the bill, because it would impose a charge on the consolidated fund, and would occasion even greater discontent than now existed in Edinburgh. Mr. E. ELLICE, sen., objected to the second reading of the bill on the same ground. Here Sir J. FITZGERALD, the new member for Clare, w,.s called to the table, and took the olths and his seat. Mr. MIALL considered that the real principle of the b 11 was to provide for the support of the religion of the small minority of Edinburgh, by taxing the large ma jority which was directly opposed to those more enlight ened views with respect to what was right and just be tween men and men in affairs purely religious, which distinguished the present day. The bill was not a set tlement of the matter, it would merely delay the incon venient pressure of the question from themselves to a future Parliament, it would settle nothing, but in a dis guised form would commit a terrible injustice on the people of Edinburgh. Sir A. CAMPBELL stated that it was his intention to vote against the bill. (Cries of " Divide.") Mr. COWAN hoped the house would at once come to a division. (Divide.) Mr. SCOTT rase to express his reasons for voting against the bill, but bad only spoken five minutes when four o'clock arrived, when the Speaker left the chair, and the house stood adjourned until six o'clock. The SPEAKER resumed the chair at six o'clock. An HON. MEMBER moved that the house be counted, and there being only 26 members present, the house was adjourned until to-morrow at 12 o'clock.

(CIVIL SIDE.-13efore Mr. Justice Cresswell.) BORE V. DIIKE.-BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. This cause was set down to be tried by a special jury, but only two special jurymen answered to their names, and the learned judge fined the whole of the rest of the panel, for whose non attendance no valid reason was as signed, 101., and he intimated his intention of doing the same in every case in which they were summoned and did not attend. A tales having been prayed the trial proceeded. The action was brought to recover damages for a breach of promise of marriage. The defendant pleaded that he had never made the promise, that a reasonable time had not been allowed him to perform it, and also that the plaintiff had exone rated him from it. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Bovill, and Mr. Ray mond were counsel for the plaintiff . ; Mr. Bramwell, Q.C., and Mr. Lush were for the defendant. Mr. Chambers, in opening the case, said that the plaintiff, Miss Hannah Hore, had brought this action against the defendant, M r . George Duke, for a very serious and he feared almost irreparable injury which she had received at his hands. The nature of the action was to recover damages for a breach of a promise of marriage, and when the jury had heard the circumstances he should lay before them he believed they would agree with him, that the case was one of a singular and extra ordinary nature. The plaintiff was the daughter of a gentleman of some fortune, who resided at Drayton, near Bognor—he had only one daughter and a son, and the plaintiff would be entitled, under the will of her mother, tR the sum of 9,0001., and he believed the jury would be of opinion when they heard the facts that this circumstance had something to do with inducing the defendant to pay his addresses to the plaintiff. The defendant was a gentleman farmer living in the same neighbourhood as the plaintiff's family, he was 45 years of age, and he was reported to be a man of considerable wealth. He had several brothers, all of whom were in a respectable position and well off, and among them was one named Witham, who was an attorney at Chichester, and whose name would be mentioned in connection with these proceedings. The defendant had been twice mar ried, and was a widower at the time he was paying his addresses to the plaintiff, and he was sure they would feel that a man arrived at his time of life, and who had been twice married, was the last person who could have any excuse for playing with the feelings of an unmarried woman. Miss Hore, the plaintiff, was 28 years old, and he was instructed that so long back as 9 years ago, and before the defendant married his second wife, he had paid her some attention ; but the intimacy at that time was broken off, and the defendant married a second wife, and in the beginning of the year 1852 she died, leaving him a widower with three children. At the lat ter end of that year the defendant again renewed his intercourse with Miss Hore , and made proposals of mar riage to her and to her father. Mr. Hore, her father, was averse to the match, partly on account of the age of the defendant, and partly on account of his having three young children, and he gave his decided opposition to it. The defendant, however, still continued his atten tions ; he met the plaintiff frequently at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Florence, two old friends of the family. He urged his suit very warmly to her, and told her that, as she was of age, she need not have the consent of her father to the union ; that she was quite competent to judge for herself on such a matter ; and he pressed her to marry him without the consent of her father. (The learned counsel then read two letters written by the de fandant, one of which was dated in November, and the other in December, 1852, in both of which the defendant pressed the plaintiff to marry him, and stated that he was aware that the chief objection of her father to the match was his "three little dears;" but he said that all he should expect from her was to be kind to them, and he urged her to consent to their being united without the consent of her father.) The plaintiff would not agree to this proposal, but it appeared that in the course of the following month of Jan., through the solicitation of the plaintiff herself, and the intervention of some friends of the family, the father of Miss Hore very reluctantly gave his consent to the marriage, and from that time the defendant was received as the acknowledged suitor of the young lady, and he took her and some of her friends over his house to look at it, and he made several suggestions of alterations that were to be made after the marriage took place, and he also agreed to settle a sum of two thousand pounds upon the young lady. The affair having proceeded to this stage it appeared that the defendant and his brother, Mr. William Duke, the at torney, went up to London, to the office of Mr. Wright, the family solicitor of Mr. Hore, for the purpose of seeing the mother's will, and upon it being shown to them it turned out that although by one of the clauses contained in it the plaintiff would be entitled to a sum of 9,0001. Consols, yet that it was rattler qualified, and was to some extent contingent upon her surviving her mother for a period of 21 years, and under certain cir cumstances her brother would be entitled to the money. Whether or not this had any effect upon the subsequent conduct of the defendant, the jury would have to con skier, but he should show them that both of the brothers appeared very much surprised at the terms upon which the money was left, and on the following day the de fendant went to the office alone a second time, and asked to see the will again ; and read it most carefully, and then went away without offering any remark. Whatever might have been the effect of this upon the mind of the defendant, however, it appeared that for some time afterwards he still continued paying his at tentions as a lover to the plaintiff, and no difference was observed to his conduct, and the plaintiff went to London upon a visit, and while she was there she pur chased a rocking-horse for one of the defendant's chil dren, which she sent down into the country. Every thing went on as usual untilthe death of the defendant's father, in March last, and although the defendant at that time did not visit the plaintiff as often as usual, he i made an excuse that it was owing to the bereavement he had sustained, and no particular notice was taken of the circumstance. Towards the latter end of the month, he did call at the house of the plaintiff's father, and upon that occasion the plaintiff was desirous to pre- I sent him with her miniature which she had had painted for the purpose. He, however, left without receiving it, and upon a servant being sent after him with the miniature he received it with coolness, and from that day to the present time he had ceased all communication with the plaintiff and her family. He thought it right to inform the jury that some letters had subsequently been written by the defendant's brother, who was an attorney in the action, but as he believed the only object was that they should be read in open court, he should do what certainly had not been done by the defendant himself—spare the feelings of others, and not put them in as evidence. In consequence of the match being broken off in this manner by the conduct of the de fendant, in the month of April an old friend of Mr. Horen' family called upon him, and distinctly asked him whether he intended to keep his engagement, and the defendant upon that occasion, in the most cool and deli berate manner, replied " decidedly not." It was for the defendant now to tell the jury why. He (the learned counsel) was quite ignorant of any ground for such a course of conduct ; and, if it was intended to cast any imputation upon the character of the young lady, the defendant ought to have had the manliness and the bold ness to put a plea to that effect upon the record, and give her an opportunity of answering it, and not endea vour to whisper and slander away the character of the plaintiff. He was not able to guess what the defence was to be, but he felt it his duty to tell the jury that there was reason to believe that the defendant and some persons connected with him had been going about the country making inquiries whether Miss Hore " did not drink." He was not aware whether anything of this sort was to be relied upon as a defence ; but he must say that it was most cruel to take such a proceeding and en deavour to substantiate such an accusation, without placing it upon the record, and stating boldly that the reason why the defendant would not perform his promise of marriage was, that he had discovered after it was made that the plaintiff was a person addicted to drink. If he had done so they would have known what course to take, and he should hare been in a position to clear the character of the plaintiff from such an imputation by the most positive testimony. The defendant' or his ad visers, however, had not adopted that course, and the jury would have to say, under all the circumstances, what damages the plaintiff was entitled to receive for the injury she had sustained. The following evidence was then adduced : Mr. J. D. Florence said—l live at Portfield, near Chichester, and I have known the plaintiff and her family for many years. I also know the defendant very well. He is an extensive farmer, and keeps a carriage and several servants, and lives in a largo house. He has always lived in that style. I remember Mr. Duke's father dying in March 1853. Miss Hore has been in the habit of visiting our family for many years, and the defendant has frequently been there with her, and I was aware that they desired to be married, and I was asked to act as father and give her away. The reason I was asked to do this was because her own father objected to the marriage. The defendant told me that he intended to settle 2,0001. on the plaintiff, and he said he wished to be married in March. Some time after this I heard that Miss Hore's father had consented to the match, and I went with Miss Hore to the defendant's house to look over it, and I remarked that it was a very nice house, and fit for a duke and duchess. (A laugh.) My wife and some other ladies accompanied us to see the house, and some alterations were suggested. I saw them from time to time frequently after this, and they conducted themselves as persons about to be married. Cross-examined—The defendant's carriage was such as is usually employed by persons to go to market with. I never heard what were to be the terms of the settle ment, but merely that 2,0001. was to be settled in some way or other. Miss Hore is 28 years old. The defendant is about 45. Heim a widower with three "little dears." (Laughter.) Miss Hore's father hild a great objection to the match in the first instance, and I believe did not give his consent until January. I never heard that Mr. Hore objected to his daughter being married at all. I knew that he objected to two young gentlemen who paid their addresses to her. I never heard that she was en- ;.aged to a gentleman named Oyler. Miss Hore is a y n o e u ve n r g s l a a i d d y t ofh that considerable fathererab l e had personal setabout attractions. reports vent her from getting married. • Some one has said that .i have sa id so t. but I never did. I do not know a beer ho tIo have p u e near the pound at Bognor. I know the pound, I remember meeting the defendant by there three or 1) it months ago. I swear Idid not tell him that if there vere any reports that Miss Hore was addicted to drink ing her father had se t t h em about to prevent her from getting married. Miss Hore and her father lived in the town of Bognor, four or five mile from the residence of the defendant. Re-examined—lt was Mr. William Duke, the brother f the defendant, and who was now acting as his attor ey, who endeavoured to persuade him he had said something which he had not said upon the subject of Miss Hore. Mrs. Florence said—l am the wife of the last witness. I have been intimately acquainted with the plaintiff for the last four years; and I remember the defendant com ing with her to our house at the close of last year. Miss Hore introduced him as her intended husband, and the defendant afterwards said that the father of Miss Hore objected at that time to their being married. I remem ber a young lady named Wright coming on a visit to the plaintiff, and while they were both up stairs the de fendant said there had been a long courtship, and he wished to get married soon, and he would be married in the month of March, and wished my husband to give Miss Hore away. I was one of the party who went to see the defendant's house. Cross-examined—lt was very easy to tell when two young people were engaged, by their blushing. (Laugh ter.) Mr. Duke had got beyond that. (Laughter.) I heard of Miss Hore's father giving his consent in the month of January. Mr. John Wright said—l am a solicitor, and reside in Bedford-row. I have been the plaintiff's solicitor since 1849. In January last the defendant and his brother came to my office, and they said they were referred to me to obtain information relating to Miss Hore's pro perty, and I told them she derived it from the will of her mother, and that it consisted of a moiety between 9,0001. and 10,0001. in the Consols, and a moiety of her freehold houses in Bognor, and a moiety of a farm in Sussex, but I could not tell them the value of it. The defendant said he knew the farm. I told them I had not got the will, but I offered to lend them the draft of it. They both appeared to be very disappointed. Mr. Bramwell—When asked what they offered, what did they say ? Witness—They said the property was not half what it had been represented to them. I showed them the draft of the will, and Mr. W. Duke said he found that Miss Hore could not make a settlement of her property, and the defendant said that Mr. Hore had pressed him for a settlement, but that Miss Hore herself did not re quire it. I was aware Miss lore could not make a settlement because she o n ly t oo k an i n t erest cont i ngen t upon her surviving her mother for twenty-one years, and if she did not do so it would go to her brother or her issue. By Mr. Bramwell—Miss Hore had an equal chance of her mother's property that he would of hers. I I have had a correspondence by writing with Mr. W. Duke on the subject of this action. I know that an action has been brought by the father of the plaintiff against the brother of the defendant for libel. The settlement upon the plaintiff was to have been made by a bond. The bond made by the defendant was put in. It re ferred to the plaintiff as his intended wife. Mr. Wright re-called—l told Mr. Hore I did not think the settlement was of any value, as it was not made a charge upon any property. Mr. George Peskett said—l am a surgeon at Bognor. I have known Mr. Hore a great many years, and his family also, and I was on very intimate terms with them. I knew that the plaintiff and the defedant were engaged to be married. On the 20th May, I went to the defendant's house and he was asked by Mr. Hore, who accompanied me, whether he was prepared to carry out the engagement he had made with his daughter. The defendant replied, "Certainly not" The question was put a second time, and then the defendant said " Decidedly not." He was asked the reason, and the defendant said to Mr. Hore, "If you had acted dif ferently in the matter I should have been placed in a different situation. Cross-examinedLl did not hear the defendant say that Mr. Hore had been circulating reports about his family. I don't believe anything of the kind was said. There are at least 10 or 12 of the Duke family, brothers and sisters. Mr. Hore is a man of property. One of my nephews was the occasion of a difference arising between me and the plaintiff's father. It was supposed that he and Miss Hore were engaged to be married. Mr. Hore did not consent to the match, and it was broken off, but I don't know upon what grounds— whether it was with the consent of the young lady, or through the objection to the marriage entertained by the father. Re-examined—The offence with which my nephew was convicted occurred in 1845, and since 1849 I have been on the same terms with the family of Mr. Hore as before. Mr. W. Duick, a surveyor, at Chesterton, deposed that in the beginning of the present year the defendant's brother William called upon him and made some in quiry. Mr. Florence re-called—l saw the defendant on the 14th January, and he shook hands with me, and said he wanted to speak tome, avid he took me into the church yard. Said he had something very particular to say to me. He then said I have heard say that Miss lore drinks. I replied that she had been to my house fre quently, and I never saw a symptom of it. He then said, "Well, I am very glad to hear you say so, it will do me as much good as if you gave me a thousand pounds," and he said he was very much obliged to me, and we parted. Cross-examined—. The plaintiffand defendant appeared on good terms for several weeks after this. Mr. W. Thompson, . a medical gentleman living at Bognor, proved that he had attended Miss Here and her family for four years. Ile was then asked whether the defendant's brother William had not called upon him about six weeks ago and made some inquiry of him. Mr. Bramwell objected to anything that was said by the brother of the defendant being received as evidence, and the question was not pressed. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. Bramwell then addressed the jury for the defend ant. He said he could assure them that he had never risen to address any jury under feelings of greater pain and difficulty than he did on the present occasion, and he believed that the defendant himself shared in those feelings. His learned friend had made some strong observations with regard to the pleas of the defendant, but he felt called upon to declare, and he did so with the entire concurrence of the defendant, that there never was any intention to cast the slightest imputation upon the character or conduct of the young lady, and if such an impression prevailed upon the mind of any person, he entirely and most emphatically denied that there was any foundation for it. He admitted that he had no an swer whatever to the action ; and the only thing the jury would be called upon to decide would be what amount of damages the defendant ought to pay for breaking his promise of marriage ; and upon this subject alone he should make a few observations. He asked them first to look at the circumstances of the case. Here was a man pretty well advanced in life, a widower, with three children, who had been twice married, and who, although undoubtedly filling a respectable position in society, was still clearly not in so good a position as the plain tiff ; and the question for the jury was what was the in jury she had sustained, and what was the amount of the loss she had incurred by the defendant failing to fulfil his promise to marry her. They had it in evidence that the plaintiff was a young woman of considerable personal attractions, possessed of a fortune ; and, looking at these facts, they would consider what damage she had suffered by not being married to a man much older than herself, who had three childre). Everything was in favour of the lady and against the gentleman, and it really ap peared to him that she would have actually thrown her self away by marrying such a man. He would not attempt to justify the conduct of the defendent, but although this was one of those cases in which the law, very properly as it appeared to him, did not allow a man to be called as a witness, and to give an explanation of his conduct, he was sure the jury would feel that some reasonable explanatio t might be given totally apart from any consideration relating to the character of the young lady, which would have been a justification for the de fendant, upon mature consideration, feeling it prudent to decline to fulfil his promise. Upon this subject they were now totally in the dark, and he could not help observing that it appeared to him to be rather an injus tice towards the defendant that the father of the young lady had not been called as a witness. Representations had been made with regard to his refusing in the first instance to give his coment to the marriage and other matters, and he thought that in fairness he ought to have been called, and he had no doubt that if he had been he should have elicited from him in cross-examina tion some facts, not in my way, he admitted, tending to the disparagement of the young lady, but which would have had the effect of satisfying the jury that the defen dant really had some grounds for the course he pursued, and that he had not acted in the heartless way that had been suggested by the counsel for the plaintiff. The learned counsel, in conclusion, admitted that the verdict must pass against his client, but he called upon the jury not to punish the defendant by giving vindictive damages, when it was clear that all the facts connected with the case were not before them. Mr. Justice Cresswell, in summing up the case to the jury, said it was no part of their duty to punish a de fendant. All they had to do was to compensate the plaintiff for the injury she had sustained ; and if in doing so they punished the defendant, that they had nothing to do with. The action was for a breach of promise of marriage, and there was clearly no answer to it. Two of the pleas of the defendant were most absurd, and for the third there did not appear to be any pretence what ever ; and the jury would say what damages the plain tiff was entitled to for the annoyance and the injury to her feelings that she had sustained. It might ;appear absurd to compensate a hurt to the feelings by a money recompense ; but it was acknowledged by the law ; and the amount of compensation .was the only question the jury had to decide. It had been said in the present case the plaintiff had sustained no real injury ; but un doubtedly a proceeding of this description could not but cause great pain and mortification to any young woman ; and the facts of her being young and wealthy were cal culated rather to increase those feelings when she con sidered that having such advantages, and having conde scended to agree to accept of a man much older than herself, who had three children, as a husband, he should refuse to have her. The jury would, however, take all the circumstances into their consideration, and award such fair and reasonable damages to the plaintiff as they considered her entitled to. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 4001. (CROWN COURT.-- (Before the Lord Chief Baron.) Caroline Sherwood, 23, a good looking young woman, was charged with the wilful murder of her child, Caro line Sherwood the younger. Mr. Johnson conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Creasy. This case stood over from the spring assizes. A good many witnesses were examined on behalf of the prose cution, but the evidence in support of the charge lay in a very small compass, and conclusively established the dreadful crime of which the unhappy prisoner was ac cused. It appeared that she was cook in the service of Mr. Turner, the judge of the county court at Brighton, and that the child in question, which was an illegitimate one, and between five and six years of age, had been placed by the Drisoner in the 'charge of EASTERN UNION RAILWAY BILL.

TRINITY HORSE CRIABITIES.—A Parliamentary docu ment on this subject, which has just been published, contains a representation addressed by the Corporation of the Trinity House to her Majesty in Council with elder brPeutrP r v e e f i e i r t en ce to the proposal of the Government to pre- House is the application of light and other dues to cha ritable in the rei gn ofa H enry brethroses. The master, wardens, assistants and en state that the corporation of the Trinity a uild, first established by royal charter of 3arn u e VIII., recognised by a charter of beheying that the corporation ; Charles fi. now regulated by a charter of confir mationthat there are good reasons for sources of the cor po ration charitable purposes, was first established for po . ifa a t ind that, in fact, the surplus re in part devoted to the froork have from very early times been support nit of old and disabled seamen, and grants have been express charitable trusts. the remonstrants submit that th e these circumstances eolight-houses and light Under these time made to it upon es of the corporation, f p h r e o r pe l rty for those dues belong to them for the purposes property Co. and are in the strictest sense thei r o s to the expense e a ly purposes, and that the proposal Go vernment for giving the whole of this e number shipowners without any charge beyond the maintaining the lights, is neither expedient . ter of policy nor just as regards the recipientsaoPeahte. charity of the corporation, of whom an averag e of 648 are annually admitted on the pension list, while there are as many as 6,000 petitions at present unprovided for.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 20, 1858. a person named Delves, at Brighton, to whom she paid 2s. 6d. per week for taking care of it. A day or two be fore the 6th of March the prisoner called upon Mrs. Delves, and stated that she should want the child got ready on that day, as she was going to take it to Shore ham, and Mrs. Delves accordingly dressed the child early in the day, in order that it might ready to go out. The prisoner did not come for the child until the evening, and as it was very wet and foggy, Mrs. Delves observed that it was not a proper night to have the child out ; but the prisoner persisted in doing so, and said that if she left the child at Shoreham, as she expected, she should not call upon her when she came back, and in that case she directed her to give a bedstead, which she had provided for the use of the child, to her bro ther, who she said would call for it. Mrs. Delves then gave the child some bull's eyes and some nuts, and the prisoner went away with it, and they were both seen shortly afterwards going in the direction of Hove. About eight o'clock the same night the prisoner arrived at her master's, and at this time nothing was seen of her child, but on the following day the dead body was found at a place called Hove Drove, between the railway terminus and the sea. A portion of its clothes had been removed, and, upon an examination of the body, it became mani fest that death was the result of suffocation, occasioned by a ligature which was found tied tightly round the throat. It appeared that the child was very speedily recognised as that of the prisoner, and the officers of Brighton at once proceeded to the house of her master, and took her into custody ; and upon her being told that she was charged with the murder of her child she became dreadfully agitated, and ex claimed, " Oh, what shall I do Oh, dear, how could Idoit ? Do tell me what to do ! Oh, save me ! Let me go !" Her boxes were then searched, when the child's frock, very wet and muddy, and in the pocket of which were the bull's eyes and nuts given to her by Mrs. Delves, was found, and upon further examination the boots of the prisoner, and also some of her own clothes, all of which were very wet and muddy, were discovered. Mr. Creasy, on behalf of the prisoner, made a forcible appeal to the feelings of the jury on account of her youth and her unfortunate position, and he urged them to re turn a verdict that would have the effect of saving the life of his wretched client. The Lord Chief Baron having summed up, the jury, after being a short time in deliberation, returned a ver dict of guilty. The unhappy woman was immediately called up for judgment, and the Lord Chief Baron, in a most impres sive manner, passed upon her the awful sentence of death. When the learned judge concluded his address, the prisoner fainted, and was carried from the dock in a state of insensibility. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE of YESTERDAY. DOWNING-STREET, JULY 16.

A MAN IMPALED.—At the latter end of last week a man named Davis, a carpenter by trade, was at work on the roof of a warehouse at Devi zes , hen a ladder he was using slipped, and he was thrown first on the poles of the scaffolding, and thence to some iron-spiked rail ings below, on the top of which he was so firmly fixed that it required six men to remove him. One of the spikes passed through his hand, and others through dif ferent parts of his body to the depth of two or three inches. The poor fellow was carried home in excruciating pain, but hopes are now entertained of his recovery" A ROYAL DODGE.—The Literary Gazette says that , the musical performers who - rece ive brooches and rings' from the Czar are able, without impropriety, to turn them into money, his Majesty havin g r , instituted in his household an officer whose special duty it is to buy back, at the full price, all the preients he offers. Thus "in Russia there are certain rings, brooches, bracelets, and snuff-boxes, which have been given away times without number." . • • •• •••• •‘• IV VA • CONTAGION AMONG.
