As it is, the town. whole of the back windows are demolished, and several of the rooms severely injured by fire. After some time the firemen got the mastery over the flames, when a most desolating sight presented itself—the whole of the work-rooms in the rear, together with a two story store house, were razed to the ground, and thousands upon thousands of rocket-cases were to be seen amidst the ruins. The total loss is very considerable; it is the opinion of Mr. Darby that the fireworks alone destroyed were worth 2,0001. How the disaster occurred is wrapped in mystery. The general opinion of the workmen is, that it was occasioned by a workman taking a piece of hot metal into one of the rooms. That party is so severely injured as to be obliged to be removed to the Hospital. Besides the great destruction of property at Mr. Darby's, the following buildings have sustained damage: —Garden-place, I, 2,3, 4,5, and 6, window glass de molished and roofs of premises severely damaged; Mr. Dalling, engineer, 97, Regent-street, back of dwelling. house and workshop severely damaged by fire. Several of the houses some distance off are also slightly injured by the shock. It is a most fortunate circumstance that only an hour or two before the acci dent occurred a week's supply of fireworks was sent off to Vauxhall-gardens. LATEST PARTICULARS. Upon making inquiries, yesterday afternoon, it was ascertained that the young man, John Davis, who was taken to Guy's Hospital, although seriously injured, is likely to recover. It was at first thought that he had inhaled the hot sulphurous vapour emitted from the fire works, but it has since been learned that such was not the case, and it is the opinion of the house surgeon, at the Hospital, that no fatal consequences need now be apprehended. Every person who has since visited the premises have expressed their astonishment at the fire being so soon extinguished and without any person em ployed on the works being killed. Every man at work, when the explosion took place, had very narrow escapes. One party, on hearing the discharge, ran out of his workship and jumped over the yard wall, and it was ex ceedingly fortunate that he did, for in less than two seconds after he had left, the shop was blown into a mis shapen mass of ruins. Had it not been for the prompt attendance of the engines and firemen, and the immediate supply of water that was furnished by the Lambeth Works, the whole of the front dwelling-house, together with the stock therein, would have been levelled with the ground. When they arrived the fire had extended to the goods in the back parlour and kitchen, and it was at great per sonal risk that the firemen entered the house with their hose, and by following up the flames, they happily suc ceeded in arresting the farther progress of this most fearful and destructive element. Women and children who were standing in the contiguous yards, although surrounded with bricks and rubbish that were hurled from Mr. Darby's premises, strange as it may appear, not one of them rezeived any personal injury. Sub joined is a copy of the official report of the mischief done . Regent-street, Lambeth-walk.-98, Mr. H. W. Darby, firework-maker ; two workshops and stock in trade therein destroyed by fire and explosion. Two others damaged by fire, and windows burned out. Store-rooms blown down.

To-morrow the Board will inspect the whole of the fleet in ordinary and the dockyard, and give a banquet in the evening at the George, On Tuesday the Royal Marines and Coast Guard will be inspected, their Lord ships dining afterwards with Colonel Astell, the com mandant, and the officers of this division. On Wednes day their Lordships will be joined by the chief secretary, Mr. Ward, M.P., and proceed to the Channel Islands in the Fire Queen steam-vessel. Her Majesty having intimated to the Grand Duke Constantine that an inspection of the Russian squadron then off Gravesend would afford her much pleasure, the Grand Duke commanded the squadron to appear at Spit head without delay, and yesterday it anchored in these waters. Her Majesty, with the Lords of the Admiralty, and the Grand Duke (who will return to this port ex pressly for the purpose on Tuesday) will inspect and review this squadron at Spithead on that day. The force consists of the Pallas, 52-gun frigate, Captain Moffet ; the corvette Olivuzza, 20, Captain Sakaroff ; the steam frigate Krabroi, 280 horse power, Captain Solootzoff, and a fine cutter tender to the frigate. The squadron is commanded by Rear-Admiral Count Heyden. The 52-gun frigate is a fine specimen of naval archi tecture as ever carried a pennant, and in magnificent trim. She is a similar class of vessel to the President, but not so heavily armed, carrying only 94-pounders throughout. She is manned with 450 as fine fellows as any country can produce. The Grand Duke's apart ments, under the poop, are superbly yet chastely fitted up, somewhat in the style of the Victoria and Albert yacht. Vice-Admiral Liitke's apartments. on the main deck, are laid out with the most refined yet service-like taste. The officers' quarters are also most complete, commodious, and healthy. The fighting quarters are ample, and, indeed, the entire trim of the ship the very example of a fine man of war. The corvette is also a remarkably handsome and healthy ship, mounting twenty 18-pounders. She is in admirable order for ser ♦ice. The steamer is a fine vessel of the Geyser class, and a very good sea boat. She towed the frigate and corvette together when last in the Baltic, at the rate of seven knots per hour—a feat no Symondian of her class could perform. She carries four 68-pounder long guns. The Grand Duke Constantine will take his departure in the frigate after the inspection by her Majesty and Prince Albert. The Wolf, 18, Commander Vansittart, arrived yester day morning at Spithead from the East India and China station to be paid off, having been nearly five years and a half in commission. She is in admirable condition, which is mainly attributable to her first lieutenant (Mr. Thomas Heard), a highly serviceable officer, who has served with Captain Sir E. Belcher in the Samarang. She sailed this day at about 1 P.M. for Plymouth to be paid off. She brings the latest news from the Cape of Good Hope, having left Simon's Bay on the 12th of June, at which data the predatory incursions of the Kafirs still continued, and Cape Town was nearly de serted. The Agincourt, 72, Captain Johnston, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, late Commander-in- Chief on the East India and China station, bad arrived in the bay a few days before the Wolf sailed, and would leave two days after her for England to be paid of 4 touching at St. Helena and Ascension for mails, &c., having been relieved in China by the Vernon, 50, flag of Rear-Admiral Inglefield. The flag-ship President, 50, Rear-Admiral Dacres, Commander-in-Chief, and the Brilliant, 22, Captain Watson, were also in Simon's Bay when the Wolf left. The Rosamond steam-sloop was at Table Bay: all well. The Dragon steam-frigate, Captain Hall, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the river; and it is said—but we cannot credit it—that she is ready for sea, without having any defects to make good here. The Birkehead steam-frigate, Commander Ingram, left last evening for Dundrnm Bay, with Mr. Bellamy, the Assistant-Master-Attendant of this Dockyard, and a party of riggers, to assist in the endeavour to extricate the Great Britain. Lieutenant Julius Roberts, R.M.A., has received in structions from the Admiralty to place himself in imme diate communication with the gun-carriage department at Woolwich, for the construction of the pivot gun carriages and slides for the service, on a very valuable and improved principle, discovered by him. The following are the promotions and appointments of the past week:— DREADFUL ACCIDENT. PEXISLES, FRIDAY.—This day having been fixed for the nomination of the candidates for the representation of the county, the proceedings commenced at the hust ings, which had been erected in front of the Town-ball, by the Sheriff reading the writ and going through the usual preliminary formalities. The day being fine, and there being some excitement regarding the contest, a large concourse of people had assembled. The hustings were of unusual height, being made so as to admit of access from the windows of the Town-hall, which are twelve feet above the level of the street. Before the proceedings had begun, Sheriff Napier had ordered and obtained a report as to their sufficiency. Mr. Mackenzie, of Portmore, the recent Member for the county, and his friends, occupied half the hustings on the right hand of the Sheriff, and Mr. Carmichael, of Stirling, the opposing candidate, and his friends, the other half. After the Sheriff had concluded, William Forbes, Esq., of Slipper field, proceeded to address the assembly with a view to propose Mr. Mackenzie. He had scarcely got through two sentences, when in a moment the joisti ngs gave way, and the entire flooring of the hustings became separated from the front and back supporters, and went down with a fearful crash, bearing the whole of its occupants to the ground, except Mr. Forbes and Mr. C. Blyth, who both clung to the front rail. The table in front, at which two reporters were seated at an elevation of about six feet from the ground, was overturned by the shock, and the reporters knocked over and injured. There were about titty gentlemen on the hustings when it fell. After they had been extri cated from the wreck, it was found that no life was lost, but that several were severely injured. The following list contain the names of those most severely hurt, but many others escaped with slight bruises, and some were wholly uninjured. PROMOTIONS. Lieutenant—L. G.

Workmen are now employed in digging the foundation for the monument on the area at the north side of the Custom House, immediately opposite South Castle street, Liverpool. A more appropriate site could not, we think, have been chosen, being in the centre of our commercial transactions, and one of the greatest tho roughfares in the town. The statue, we believe, is a metal cast of the marble one by Gibson. The position of the figure is well suited for an open-air monument, well defined.

DECAY OP BUILDINGS IN COVENTRT.—S t. Mic h ael' s if a fine old church, of largo size (sittings for 2,500), much requiring repair and restoration. Externally it is built of old red sandstone, and every line of the lower part, especially where the smoke has effect, is obliterated by decay. This is the case with most of the buildings in Coventry, and it is greatly to be regretted that in some cases where restoration s are attempted the same stone is used. Experience does not always teach. St. Mary's Hall, the meetin..z place of the corporation, and a ,ery curious building, is, like other structures here, in a miserable state of decay.

Reporter for North British Mail, also injured. 22. Provost Kerr, slightly bruised. About ten or twelve more are slightly injured, with sprained ankles, among whom are—Mr. John Mackenzie, manager, Scottish Widows' Fund ; Mr. George Forbes, banker; Mr. C. Cowan, M.P.; Mr. Blackwood, writer, &c. The following escaped without injury: —Mr. Car michael, Sir Graham Montgomery, Sir Adam Hay, and eight or ten others. After the lapse of some time the nomination was quietly gone through, and the polling days fixed for Wednesday and Thursday next. It is expected to be a very severe contest. The uneasy feeling observable in the city on Satur day morning on the open in g of business could hardly have been exceeded , but it wore off in some degree to wards the close of the day, although the tone of affairs was still discouraging. Consols for Account were first done at 864 sellers, the Bank returns and the announce. ment of further failures constituting the reasons for th e dep ress i on . They soon, however, improved, and went to 861 to 87, and from this point a purchase of stock for Tuesday next, on account of the Court of Chancery, sent 1 them up to 87k, at which they closed. For money the range was f rom 86 to 861, the last price being 86 t. After the r egu l ar h ours o f b us i n ess so me time bargains were effected at a decline of an eighth. BADGE OF THE "INDEPENDENT" PAR TY (?)—The oak leaf, combined with ears of wheat, will be worn by *e supporters of Lord Granvie Somerset at the ensu i ng sleetion...Monmortthsh: Mtr n, THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVEN PRINCESS'S THEATRE. On Saturday night the season at this establishment was brought to a close. The pieces selected pre sented no novelty bey on d th e i r b e i ng recogn i se d as favourite dramas, and consisted of—A Curious Case, Used up, He would be an Actor, and the last new farce, entitled Early Closing. Mr. Charles Mathews exhibited his accustomed excellence in the character of Mr. Twiggleton, Sir Charles Coldstream, and Motley. At the conclusion of the drama of Used Up, Mr. Maddox, the lessee, appeared before the curtain, and delivered the subjoined address. It should be observed that the house was well filled, and at half price might be fairly termed overflowing:— , Ladies and Gentlemen,—After having, with the exception of a vacation of ten days, kept open house continually for two and twenty months, I, thanks to your kind patronage, bring my season, for the seventh time, to a successful termination. My expenditure has been great, but your , generous support has not only enabled me to reimburse myself, but has given me a fair margin of profit into the bargain. Ido not, ladies and gentlemen, make so unwise a boast as to say that, ' This is the only theatre in which the legitimate drama has found a refuge '—or hazard so unfounded an assertion as that, ' even when Shaks pere speaks, it is to scanty audiences ;' on the con trary, Shakspere does speak here, has spoken here to anything but ' scanty audiences,' as crowded audi ences, and my pocket can testify. " Ladies and Gentlemen—l think that we are as ' legitimate' as anybody. Mr. Macready and Mrs. Butler are ' legitimate,' lawful children—true repre sentatives of our divine bard. And is not the talented Miss Cushman—whom I first had the honour of in troducing to a British public—' legitimate,' too ? And, by the way, I am proud to tell you that I have formed an engagement with that lady to appear in Shaksperian plays, in conjunction with Mr. Mac ready, on the opening of our next campaign. If that be not ' legitimate,' I know not what is. " Ladies and Gentlemen—After all, the true test of public opinion is well filled benches, such as I now see around me, and the very first season that, in making up my accounts, I find that I am a loser, I shall think ' there is something rotten in the state of Denmark,' and that my mode of catering for your amusement is unpalateable ; but until that time ar rives I shall pursue my present course, exerting all my energies to please, to give you every satisfaction ; and, when I issue my programme for the forthcoming season, I feel convinced that the important engage ments it will announce will secure a continuance of your kind patronage. For the unvarying success which has attended my labours as lessee of this the atre, I beg to tender you my most sincere thanks ; and, furling the banner of the Princess's, for a few weeks, in the name of myself and the ladies and gen tlemen of this establishment, I most gratefully and respectfully bid you farewell." The Grand Duke Constantine and suite, the Rus sian Admiral, and Count Orloff, occupied two private boxes during the evening. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 7. A bankrupt, named Vander Vyer, a merchant in Crutehed-friars, applied for his certificate. He had been in business three years, and owed about 3,500!., with nothing for his creditors. He was opposed on the part of three French houses and one American house. The complaint was, that when he was in embarrassed circumstances he had obtained clover-seed and linseed cakes to about 2,000/. from his foreign creditors, on which he had raised money, and had only made pay ment to elle house, in order to obtain other goods. It appeared that all the capital the bank r upt possessed when he commenced business was 153/. It was urged against him that he had cheated the foreign houses, and that the interests of commerce required that his certifi cate should be refused. On the part of the bankrupt it was admitted that it was a case for a suspension. The inexperience of the bankrupt (22 when he embarked as a merchant) was relied upon in mitigation. Mr. Commissioner lioLnorD said he had serious doubts about refusing the certificate. Almost a robbery had been committed, and the excuse offered would not avail. As it was, the case required a long suspension, and his judgment was, that the certificate be suspended from the present occasion, without protection, for a period of three years. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—lVarteirk, August 7. CROWN COUR r. —(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) MURDER AT BIRMINGHAM.—Peter Leonard, a man aged about 43, was placed at the bar charged with the wilful murder of Margaret Leonard, his wife, on the 14th of May last. Mr. WILLMORE stated very briefly the case to the jury, and then called the following witnesses:— Helena Ball—l am the wife of Jonathan Ball, of Lock-street, Birmingham. Knew the wife of the pri soner, and knew the prisoner and his wife for twelve months. They lived in Tanter-street, and were un happy together. I have seen him kick her several times since March. On the Wednesday before the event oc curred I was going to see my father in-law, who liveditwo doors past their house, when I heard the prisoner call his wife very bad names, and say he would finish her before the week was out. On the Friday after that, and the day before the event occurred, I heard the prisoner and his wife quarrelling, and he calling her bad names. Mary May—l live at 34, Tanter-street, and have known the prisoner and his wife for three years, having lived opposite for that time. They lived quietly to grther except. when they were tipsy. On the Bth of May, about half-past seven in the morning, I saw the prisoner and deceased go into their house as I sat at the window. They appeared to be intoxicated, and were staggering as they walked along. They went into the house and shut the door. My window was open, and after they got in I heard the prisoner cursing and calling the deceased bad names. He said, " Get out, you —; get me some coals, and make me some breakfast." She answered, " I will Peter." This was all I heard. About ten minutes past eight o'clock the prisoner came to my door, while Mrs. Forty was with me. The street is very narrow. He said, " Will you come over to my house, and get Margaret out of the cellar? I have shoved her down there; but passion is the devil." Mrs. Forty and I went over directly. Upon going into the house the first thing we saw was a large pool of congealed blood on the kitchen floor, about a pint. The cellar door was shut. I opened it, and Mrs. Forty and I went down, but could see nothing till we got a light. We then saw the deceased lying with her two feet on the two lowest steps and her body stretched out, and her head doubled up under her right shoulder. Her face was covered with congealed blood, and there were also pools of blood on the cellar floor. We asked the prisoner to come and help her up, but he said, " No; let the —devil lie and die." He sat on the chair by the door while we carried the de ceased up. He seemed soberer then than when he came home. Mrs. Forty washed the blood off deceased's face, and we got it off the floor. The deceased was insensible all the while, and the blood was flowing from her ears. I then asked the prisoner if he would let her have some thing to put under her head, as she was groaning heavily. He said, " No;" and when they asked if they should put her to bed, he said, " No; let the be. If she don't stop her grunting, I will give her as much as I have given her already." He then went up stairs, and on hearing them talk of sending for a doctor. he came down. One of us then went for Mr. Bunn, the surgeon, who ordered the deceased to be put to bed. I then went home and did not see her till next day, when the de ceased was ordered by the club doctor, Mr. Kemp, to be taken to the hospital, as she was still insensible. The prisoner said he had no money ; but Mr. Kemp lent him some money. A car was fetched, and Mr. Kemp took the deceased to the hospital, the prisoner re • maining at home. Mrs. Forty was then examined, and gave evidence substantially similar to that of the preceding witness. John Taylor—l live in No. 4 court, Tanter-street, in the house adjoining that of the prisoner. We can hear in one house what is going on in the other. Between seven and eight, on the Bth, I heard the prisoner say— "lf you don't get up, you —, knock your brains out. I'll murder you." He repeated these words a time or two, when she said, " Peter, don't murder me—don't murder me, Peter ;" and he said, "So help me God I will if you don't get up." In about a minute I heard the woman tumbled down the cellar, the door slammed, and the prisoner say, "Lie there you -." The woman groaned once. That was all I heard. James Hyades—l live at 19, Souter-street. I knew the deceased and the prisoner. Between seven and eight o'clock on the Bth of May, as I was coming up the pri soner's entry to my work, I heard loud talking in the house between the prisoner and his wife. I went and peeped through the keyhole, and saw the deceased lying on the floor and bleeding from the mouth. She was saying, "Peter, Peter, don't kill me !" and he said, "Yes, I will, you ! Get up and fetch me some coal to make a fire, and get me some breakfast." I then went " Get up, you —, saying. "Peter, Pet er ," she oor. to the window. The curtains were drawn on e a ch s id e , and I saw the prisoner stand over the dece ase d w ith a getdi n I 1 us e ap r i •l n , f s e l oh i te n mwheai was lying getl y h iaunnpgd:oannd the 11 fetch you some coa l." She then sat up on the floor. The prisoner was behind her, and ho put his arm round her neck, and lifted her on her feet. She then went towards the cellar, and reeled against the pantry-door, the prisoner pushing her behind. He then gave her a push On getting to the cellar door, and pushed her down. He then shut the door, and said, "Lie there, you I then told what I had seen to my aunt. Mr. MACAULEY then addressed the jury o n b e h a lf o f the prisoner. He proceeded to say th at h e was not there to say that a grievous offen ce h a d not b een com mitted; but that he bad no doubt that the jury would e might be, and howeve r amenable find that the prisoner had not been guilty o f t h e ca pi ta l crime, culpable punishment which mans l aug h ter d e served. He then commented on the evid ence , s h ow i ng that it was rather improbable that any m an w h o w i s h e d alhl h e e ro ev t e h r e to commit a murder would do so in the midst of a nu merous population, and with every act open to the eye of any man who might choose to look; and that the prisoner's conduct, although undoubtedly brutal, was nothing more than usual, and was no evidence whatever of the intention of the prisoner to do fatal injurie, to his wife. He then called two witnesses; the first, named James Brookes, who keeps a coffee-shop in Tenter street, said he knew the prisoner and his wife for more than eleven years. There " were not better people on earth " than the prisoner and his wife when they were .ober. He never lifted up a hand to touch her. Mrs Brookes, the wife of the last witness, gave similar evi dence. HIS LORDSHIP charged the jury. If they believed that he did push her down stairs with the intention of killing, then they must bring in a verdict of murder. If they had any doubt as to the last supposition, they would g ive it to the prisoner, and bring in a verdict finding him guilty of manslaughter. The jury, after consulting for a few minutes, brought in a verdict of Manslaughter. His LORDSHIP then, after a most impressive address, sentenced the prisoner to be transported for the term 01 his natural life. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Lord DENMAN and a Special Jury.) LONDON V. DALE.—RAILWAY LIABILITIES. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a civil engineer, against the defendant, an independent gentle man, residing at Cheltenham (the chairman of the pro visional committee of the projected Trent Valley Conti nuation Railway), to recover upwards of 7501. for work and labour done. Mr. Whitehurst, Mr. Humfrey, and Mr. Heyes were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Waddington and Mr. Barlow for the defendant. The principal witness called was Mr. John Smith. solicitor, of Birmingham, who deposed that he was solici tor to the company, and that by order of the provisional committee, of which the defendant was the chairman, he made an engagement with the plaintiff to take a survey of the line at the rate of 301. per mile. The survey war made, and the maps duly prepared. Mr. Smith admitted that he had himself a bill against the company, and that he had adddressed a letter of demand against every member, the defendant amongst the rest. Lord DENMAN, in summing up, thought the case an extremely clear one. The order was given by the de fendant, as the chairman of a small body, of which eacti member was equa ll y l i a b le. I t was a fallacious idea to suppose that th ere was any part i cu l a r hardship in a plain tiff °electing any one particular individual as responsiblefor the debt Owin to him, as it was the dut y of ever y person entering into such undert a kings to see than his colleagues were equally competent and respon sible with himself. The best way, in his opinion, for parties wh en t h ey found the specu l a ti o n in which they embarked was unsuccessful, was to me et together and come to s ome equ i table settlement; b u t if they did not do so, p ersons claimings for the enforcemen t of the claim. against them had a perfect right to adopt any leg a l mean The pl a i n tiff i n this case could make any o f th e mem b ers of the committee who acted with him contribute to the loss which he sustained. Verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount sought to be recovered. ETIIELL V. MEREDITIL—RREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. , This was an action brought to recover compensation in damages for a breach of promise of marriage. Mr. MILLER opened the pleadings. Mr. WIIITERURST, in stating the case to the jury, said the plaintiff, Mr. Stephen Ethel!, was an upholsterer and dealer in furniture, carrying on business in Ann street, Birmingham, an d t h e d e f en dant, a lady, residing with her broth er i n the village of Y ar dl e y, near th at town.

His Grace and party entered the gardens at a quarter past nine, during the per formance of the concert. Mr. Robert Wardell, the proprietor, received the distinguished visitors, and conducted them round the grounds, followed by the greater portion of the spectators, whose attentions and respectful demeanour the Duke seemed much gratified with. Mr. Wardell attended the Duke and party to seats prepared for them in the gallery, and at the termination of the pyrotechnic display, in which Darby had added some brilliant effects, his Grace and friends took their departure through the Italian Walk, lit up for the occasion. Nothing could exceed the gratification expressed by the illustrious visitor as he walked up the long avenue, attended by the proprietor, and followed by the greater portion :of the visitors. " I have never seen in my life, Mr. Wardell," observed his Grace, " such a grand display of fireworks as this evening ; though in several countries I have witnessed exhibitions of fireworks, yours are the most superb ; your enter tainments, also, throughout the evening, are very ex cellent, and I have to thank you for persuading me to stay to witness so extraordinary a sight, as I ori ginally intended to have quitted the gardens earlier." Mr. Wardell expressed his gratitude for the distin guished honour conferred on his exertions as a caterer for public amusement.

OUTRAGEOUS CoNDOCT.—Complaints are daily made of unmerciful attacks by the navvies on the poor Irishmen employed in excavating for the railway in the neighbourhood of Monmouth. On Wednesday last, a quiet, inoffensive labourer, named Staunton, was wan tonly struck down on the Malpas road, and so cruelly beaten by some ruffianly fellows in the same occupation, that he has not been able to work since. It is incum bent on the authorities at once to take measures for arresting such brutal conduct. NG, AUGUST 9, 1 s Ethell was a widower of the age of 45, having a daughter about 21, and the defendant, Miss Meredith, was about 30. From this it would be seen that there was no grea; or improper disparity of age. The defendant, as he had stated, resided with her elder brother. After an ac. quaintance of some few weeks an attachment sprung up between the parties, and Miss Meredith intimated to Mr. Thomas Ethell, the nephew, that she contemplated a marriage with Mr. Stephen, his uncle, and requestee that he would communicate with her brother upon the subject. He did so. The brother of the defendant at the time approved of the connexion, and it was subse quently arranged that the marriage should take place in the month of October. The defendant provided her marriage clothes, and the plaintiff proceeded to make the necessary arrangements for the nuptials. A short time afterwards Miss Meredith declined to fulfil her promise. and when requested to state the grounds of her refusal, she stated, in the first instance, that her brother woul not give his consent ; and, then again, that the plaintiff was too old, and she did not like to marry a man of such an age. With respect to the plaintiff's age, he (Mr. Whitehurst) presumed she knew that at the time she entered into the engagement, but it was evident there was something behind. The plaintiff, in consequence of the conduct of the defendant, had been the object of derision and laughter; and thought that under the cir cumstances he could do no other than bring the subject before a jury of his country. The defendant had simply pleaded that she had not made any promise. That would be seen by the evidence he (Mr. White hurst) should produce. Miss Meredith had secured the assistance of his Learned Friend (Mr. Humfrey), whom perhaps, they had frequently heard or read of in cases of that description. His friend would, no doubt, attempt to laugh the case out of court, and, if possible, he would get the jury to laugh with him. He (Mr. White hurst) was fond of fun, and he had no doubt they would have a great deal f fun on that occasion. —(Loud laughter.) His Learned Friend would ask them what wounded feelings a man of forty-five could possess ? How it was possible that he could sustain damage by the loss of a matrimonial connexion with a woman of thirty? Every case must, however, be judged by its own merits. The plaintiff did not ask for extravagant damages; but, although a man's feelings were not so strong as those of a woman, still he had his feelings; and when injured and wounded, as they were in the in stance now before them, it was the duty of the jury to award reasonable damages. There would, he believed, be no dispute about the facts. The only consideration would be the amount of damages to be awarded to the plaintiff. The Learned Counsel proceeded to call the following witnesses:— Mr. Thomas Ethell, upholsterer, of Birmingham, examined by Mr. MILLER..--He was acquainted with Miss Meredith. She was on a visit at their house last summer. Mr. Stephen Ethell visited there, and he and Miss Meredith became acquainted. The plaintiff be came attatched to her, and Miss Meredith received his addresses favourably. He continued his attentions. At the Musical Festival, in August, Miss Meredith was on visit to the plain tiff's daughter. She is 21. The plaintiff is from 40 to 45, and the defendant full 30. During the time the defendant was on a visit to the plaintiff she told witness that she was about to marry the plaintiff, and that there was only one obstacle, that was her brother. She requested him to speak to her brother upon the subject. Accordingly, one night at supper, after they had been to a meeting of the Church Pastoral Aid Society, the witness, addressing the defen dant's brother, who was present, and in reference to the intimacy then existing . between the plaintiff and defen dant, said, " You see how comfortable they are together (Laughter)—now's the time to speak—(Continued laugh ter)—if you have any doubts now mention them." De fendant's brother said he had none, and that he was quite willing if they were. Mr. MILLER.—What did you do then ? Witness—l got up and said, " God bless you both together."—(Loud laughter.) Mr. MILLER—What did his brother say? Witness— "So say L"—(Roars of laughter.) It was afterwards arranged that the marriage should take place in October, on the plaintiff's birthday, as both birthday and marriage day might then be kept together.—(Great laughter.) Subsequently tfie defendant said it would be too soon, and the day remained unfixed. Cross-examined by Mr. HUMIPREY—Why, you do your respected uncle injustice, don't you? Was he not the son of William and Mary Ethell? Witness—He was. Mr. HUMFRET—Is he not near 50? Witness—No, I believe not. Mr. HUMPREY—Is it, then, the custom of your family to be baptised before they are born?—(Laughter.) Wit ness—No, I believe not. How can they ?—(Laughter.) Mr. HUMFRET—Why, was not your respected uncle, according to the registry . I hold in my hand. baptised in the year 1800? Witness—l don't know. I don't believe him to be 48 or 49 years of age. I went to school with him, and I am 40. Mr. I.IIIMFREY—This thoughtless young man became acquainted with the young lady in July, and made this proposal after the meeting of the Pastoral Aid Society? Witness—Yes; that was on the Ist of Sept., and the mar riage was appointed for October. Ido not believe Miss Meredith is more than 30, because my wife went to school with her, and she is 29. Mr. LIIIBIFREY—Yes; but you know that is no cri terion. You went to school with your respected uncle. —(Laughter.) Witness—l do not know that my uncle got 30L out of the poor girl for her wedding clothes. I believe two other actions have been brought arising out of this affair—No. 1, for an assault; No. 2, for slander; and, now, No. 3, for a breach of promise of marriage. I do not know that the girl is of weak intellect, or dif ferent in mind to other young women. She has, I be- Hove, some property. Mr. HUIIIFREY—I thought so. Witness—My wife and aunt are both here. Mrs. Harriette Ethell was present at the meeting at Mr. Stephen Ethell's, when it was agreed that the mar riage should take place on the 23d of October; but afterwards the defendant said, it must be either a little before or after. She afterwards told witness she must give -it up, as she had no peace at home. This was a week or two after the festival; it was before the time fixed for the marriage. Cross-examined by Mr. HUMFREY—I went to school with the defendant. We are within a month or two of the same age. lam 29 years of age. I was one of a party who went over in October to fetch the defendant from Yardley. Mr. HUMEREY—NOW you can tell us a little about that. Who went with you? Witness—The plaintiff 'a sister and daughter. I tried to persude her to come over to Birmingham. Neither her brother nor her sister were at home at the time. She refused to go unless a lady was with her. On the Sunday Mr. S. Ethell said he had been grossly insulted at the brother's house. I went to fetch her on a visit to me. Her aunt and uncle were sent for to prevent us taking her away. There was a crowd near. The defendant was prevented from going with us. Re-examined by Mr. WHITELIURST-Mr. S. Ethell told me some person from Birmingham had insulted him at Yardley on the Sunday. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. HUMFAEY then addressed the jury in a most humorous and effective speech. He was not surprised that his Learned Friend should have anticipated the ridicule which naturally and of necessity was attached to the case—not from his (Mr. Humfrey's) representation of it, but from the evidence as stated by the plaintiff himself. There was, instead of a young, vigorous lover, whose feelings were injured, wounded, and harrowed up by the loss of an expected young and virtuous wife—xn old man, in indifferent circumstances, seeking to obtain the pittance which her father had left to her. That he had suffered much he (Mr. Humfrey) did not doubt; but the suffering was occasioned by no other cause than the loss of the young woman's cash. The defendant wqs the daughter of a respectable farmer. When the acquaintance which was the foundation of the present action became known, her brother, with whom she resided, assented to it ; subsequently he with drew his consent, and his sister, like a good and prudent girl, refused to ally herself to this old man, who had a child almost as old as herself. Till the end of July this old fellow had never known the poor girl. He (Mr. Humfrey) wondered that the old block. head was not ashamed to parade his disgrace before a court of justice. His nephew was proud of his re spected uncle as a schoolfellow —how proud of him he must be as a plaintiff in a case of breach of promise of marriage.—(Laughter.) He never remembered, in his practice or reading, a case in which a man brought an action against a woman for a breach of promise of mar riage in which the action was not dictated by cupidity. Was it likely that such a marriage would ever have been a happy marriage ? He asked them, as fathers and brothers, having wives and sisters, whether they would, by their verdict, sanction such an action ? The plaintiff had come there to get money out of the pocket of the defendant, which he knew he could not get by marriage. Her friends had interfered to prevent that abomination. He (Mr. Humfrey) admitted that if a promise had been made and broken there must be a verdict for the plaintiff, but he hoped, for the credit of the country, it would be of the smallest possible coin known in . the circulating medium of the realm—that would be a hundred thousand times more than he deserved. Lord DENMAN supposed the jury would agree with him that there had been a promise, and that it had been broken. The only question, therefore, was as to the amount of damages. He need not trouble them with any observations upon that point. The evidence they had heard would direct them. The jury found a verdict—Damages, one farthing. The verdict was received with applause. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Bridgwater, August 6. (Before Chief Justice WILDE.) James Gould was indicted for that he, being in the service of her Majesty, did embezzle three penny pieces. Mr. Rogers and Mr. Poulden were counsel for the prosecution. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was employed as a letter-carrier between Timsbury and Rad stock, and was in the habit of receiving letters, and with them the postage, which he had to pay into the post office at Radstock. The prisoner lodged with a Mrs. Cottle, who, upon snaking his bed, on the 20th of June, discovered no less than forty-three letters in his trousers poekets which had not been delivered to the post-office. Mrs. Cottle had a conversation with the prisoner, which ended in her taking the letters to the Radstock post office. Further search was then made at the prisoner's lodgings, and under the tiles of an outhouse 54 other letters were discovered. All these letters had been given to the prisoner to put into the post office, and he had been paid a penny with each letter, but had not ac counted for the sums he had received. The prisoner was only fifteen years of age, and had but 7s. a week. The jury having found the prisoner Guilty, The sentence was, that he should be transported for seven years, but ho would be taken where boys were instructed, and taught a useful business. August 7. The Crown Court has been occupied all day in trying cases unfit or publication; and Mr. Justice Williams, in the Civil Court, has been trying cuee of ejectment, HOME CIRCUIT.—Croydon, August 7. (Before Baron PARKE and a special Jury.) .TOCOBS V. TABLETON. This waq an action brought by Henry Jacobs against the Rev. John Edward Tarleton, Rector of Chesfield and Lamborough, in Kent, to recover the amount of his ac ceptance upon a bill of exchange for 1001. The defer', lant pleaded that the bill had been obtained by fraud, Lod that the plaintiff had not given any consideration for the bill, and was not the bond fide owner of it. Mr. Chambers and Mr. Petersdoff were for the plain tiff, and Sergeant Shee and Mr. Ogle for the defendant. The bill in question was put in ; it was di awn on the 21st of January, 1847, by one Snell, accepted by the lefendant, and then appeared to have been endorsed to one Gadderer, and by him to Henry Jacobs, the present Sergeant SHEE addressed the jury for the defendant, and said that the defence he was instructed to effor was. that the reverend gentleman had been made the victim of a gang of swindlers ; and that all the penons whose names appeared to the bill were parties to the fraud. He proceeded to state that the defendant being in some pecuniary difficulty in October last, was incautious enough to answer an advertisement that appeared in one of the public papers. offering to lend money ; and eventually a person named Gadderer called upon him, and at his suggestion he was induced to accept two bills, one for 200/. and the other for 30a, to get discounted, which Gadderer took away with him; - and a few days afterwards he gave the defendant 1671 . in two payments, and this was all he ever received. Gadderer afterwards called again upon him, and repre sented that there was some informality in the two bills, which prevented him from getting them discounted, and Dr. Tarleton gave him two other bills for the same amount. He was eventually compelled to pay both the 2001. bills and the first 3001. one; and when the other 3001. bill became due, he was threatened with legal pro ceedings by Gadderer, and he was induced to give three 1001 bills in lieu of the one for 3001., and the present was one of those bills, but as it was quite clear that the transaction was one of a most frauaulent character he felt it his duty to resist the payment. Moses Jacob was called. In answer to questions Ile said that the plaintiff was his father, and was living in the Kent-road, with some members of his family, and entirely dependent upon them for support. His father was not worth a shilling, and utterly unable to have given consideration for the bill in question. He was seventy-five years old, and was net able to write. He then went on to say that his father was merely the no minal plaintiff, and that he lent his name to parties who obtained bills, and was guaranteed from paying the costs. He had had a conversation with his father upon the subject of this action, and asked him how he could make an affidavit that he had given consideration for the bill ; and he said he was not aware that he swore that, but thought it was merely an affidavit to postpone the trial, which he was told it was. His father, he said, had ad mitted to him that twenty actions upon bills had been brought in his name. Another witness was called to prove that he went to the plaintiff to make some inquiries about the bills, and he told him that he knew nothing about them, and that he had not given Mr. Lewis any instructions to bring an action. Mr. CHAMBERS, in reply, urged upon the jury, that in the absence of any positive proof that the plaintiff had anything to do with any fraud that might have been eommitte ! he was entitled to their verdict. Baron PARKE, in summing up, said he did not think the plea of fraud had bean made out by the evidence, but the material question for the jury to consider was, whether the plaintiff was a bona fide holder of this bill in question, or whether he was merely put forw ar d as the nominal plaintiff. The jury, after deliberating about five minutes, re turned a verdict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. On Saturday Mr. John Bull, who was some days ago charged with having fraudulently obtained two bills of exchange, each for 2001., under pretence of getting them discounted for Mr. Alexander, a draper at Kelso, was brought up by Payne, City policeman, for a third ex amination. Mr. Woolfe attended for the prisoner. A good deal of interest was occasioned by the investigation. It will be recollected that upon the previous examina tion it was stated by Mr. Alexander that he was induced, by the appearance of an advertisement in the Glasgow Herald, to communicate with Mr. Bull on the subject of obtaining a sum of money, and that he transmitted a bill, of which he was the acceptor (Mr. Bull to be the drawer), to that gentleman to be negotLited ; and that Mr. Bull soon afterwards wrote to him, stating such bill was not, in consequence of some irregularity, available, and that a second bill for the same amount was immediately sent to Mr. Bull, who, however, neither cashed nor returned either of the bills, the excuse offered by him tieing that they were both destroyed, although common report stated that they were both in existence and about the town. The solicitor for the prosecution said, in answer to Mr. Woolfe, who asked of what offence the prisoner was accused, that the charge had assumed rather a different shape since the first evidence was talon. It was that the prisoner had obtained the second bill under false pretences. The officer employed upon the occasion had in his possession the first bill, which had been obtained from the prosecutor, and which, it seemed, had been placed by the prisoner in the hands of a person of whom he had purchased 991. worth of attar of roses, as collateral security for the payment of that amount. With regard to the second bill, the prisoner had told the officer that he was most anxious to give the party into custody who had swindled him oat of that instrument. The prosecutor called Alderman Gibbs' attention to the fact that the prisoner had declared that both bills had been destroyed. Mr. Woolfe said, he had a few questions to put to the person who brought the hitherto unintelligible charge. Did the bill, which is dated, I see, the 17th of May, bear the signature of Mr. Bull as the drawer when you re ceived it? Witness—lt did, and I accepted it, and sent it back. Mr. Woolfe—How does it happen that your name, instead of being written across the bill, is merely written underneath that of the drawer, and without being preceded by the word " accepted?" Witness —It is quite usual to accept in that way in Scotland. Mr. Woolfe—Have you had many bill transactions ? Witness—Yes, lots of them, and to a very considerable amount, but I do not see that there is any occasion for saying how much. Alderman Gthus.—None at all. Mr. Woolfe—Are you now in a state of solvency or not ? ,Witness—l do not know that such a question can at all be necessary in an examination like the present. I believe the first bill I had transmitted to him was a good bill, but he said there was an irregularity in it. I have ascertained that there was no irregularity in it at all, and have no doubt that the pretence was made to enable him to avail himself of the two bills. Hero Mr. Alexander produced a letter from Mr. Bull, dated the 21st of May, expressing gratification at the punctuality of his correspondent, apologizing for being so particular in his business transactions, and stating that he would get a stamp at the Stamp-office in return for that on which the irregular bill had been drawn, and that sir. Alexander should have the cash immediately afterwards. The whole of the correspondence took place within a week, but neither bill nor money had been ever forthcoming. Mr. Woolfe—Have you ever given Id. to the prisoner in this transaction ? Witness—Certainly not ;it was he who was to have given to me.—(Laughter.) Mr. Woolfe—Did you not compromise or settle with your creditors before you accepted either of the ,bills ? Witness —Certainly not. Mr. Woolfe—V as it not known in Scotland that you were insolvent before you accepted either of these bills? Witness—No ; nor for a long time after. Mr. Woolfe—Did you not tell the prisoner that if he would give you up the bills you would do nothing more against him? Witness—No doubt of it ; and he as sured me they were both destroyed. It is pretty evi dent that neither of them has been destroyed. Payne, the officer, said, that the prisoner, in going to the Compter frbm the Mansion-house, said he had been regularly duped out of the second bill by a person whom he should wish to place in the same position as that in which he was placed himself. He then gave toe the name of a person who had, as he stated, the bill ; and he declared to me that all he had got out of it him self was 11/. worth of pictures ; that was all the benefit he received. Alderman GIBBS —Did you tell any parties who may know anything of these transactions to come here and give evidence ? Payne—l did; and they promised to be in attendance. Alderman GIBBS—I shall remand this case in order to have additional evidence. Mr. Woolfe submitted that there was no legal evi dence to warrant the further detention of his client. The LORD MAYS 11 said the case appeared to him to be one of very gross fraud. Iu fact, there was not a tittle of the whose transaction that did not show an intuition to cheat. What could be said of the intention of a man who said that both bills were destroyed ? after which he stated, upon being taken into custody, that he Lad re ceived a consideration for one of them, and the other was produced to negative his veracity. The prisoner was then remanded tilt Monday (this day). GUILDHALL. On Saturday Mr. Stevens, the surveyor of the western district of the city of London, applied to the sitting magistrate, Sir J. Pixie, for his directions under an emer- gency not provided for by the New Building Act. He stated that a stack of chimneys belonging to some ruin- ous unoccupied premises in New•street-square, by the Queen's printing-office, had fallen, and from the appear- ance of the prem — ises, there was reason to appreholci the whole would fall in a few hours, to the danger of the public. He wanted, therefore, authority immediately to shore up and take down the premises. The Alderman of the ward, the overseers, and all the local authorities, were out of town. He then resorted to the Mansion house, but was not so fortunate as to meet with the Lord Mayor. He had done what the law required him, as district surveyor, to do, and from what he had put in motion, he should obtain the necessary authority about Wednesday ; but he wanted authority to do instantly what was necessary for the protection of the public. Sir J. PIRIE said he would take upon himself the re sponsibility of ordering him to do what the safety and convenience of the public required. The ALDERMAN gave the surveyor a written authority. MARLBOROUGH-SIREAT. On Saturday Rob6rt Lacy, a young man of very re spectable connexions, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having robbed his employer, Mr. Perry, hairdresser and perfumer, Burlington-arcade, of property valued at between 2001. and '3OO/. It appeared that the prisoner had come from the country as an improver. He had placed himself with Mr. Perry about eighteen months ago, and no suspicion was entertained of his honesty until a few days since, when, in consequence of the strong smell of perfumery in his bedroom the foreman Made such a commun s ication to Mr. Perry as induced him Vigo the prisoner' lodg ings and make an examination. and Mr. Henry Perry stated, that he WBB 8 perfUni er - hairdresser, occupying 12, 13, and 59, in the nurlingto,ll: arcade. On Sunday evening last he went to 79 hi._ i ii im s r buildings, Knightsbridge, where the prisoner Jouf_t: • and on looking into the bedroom he found some arl_7: • that he knew were his property.
