Lord Stewart arrived at his seat, at Wynyard, in
Durham, on Saturday last. His friends, rather in-
judiciously as the event proves, designed that his
Lordship should make a triumphal entry in Stockton;
and therefore, in order to give due eclat to so im-
portant an epoch, a number of persons were engaged
to take the horses from his Lordship's carriage and
draw him into the town. Besides this, his Lord-
ship's tenants were instructed to meet him at
Thorpe, and escort him to Wynyard; and many, we
understand, were obliged to come a considerable
distance fior that purpose. By these means it was
doubtless hoped and expect( d that an appearance of
popularity would surround his Lordship, at least,
fin• the day. It is also reasonable to suppose that
local agents, who have been for some time past most
actively occupied in endeavouring to promote his
lordship's electioneering interests, had flattered bin
into a belief that he would experience a similar
reception on this occasion to that which he met with
two or three years ago, when he came to take pos.
session of the large estates which he acquired by
reason of his marriage with Lady Frances Vane
Tonpest. But if such an anticipation was indulged,
the result demonstrates that it was not founded on
the most accurate calculation. When his Lordship,
us we are informed, arrived at Stockton. the horses
were certainly takm from the carriage, which was
drawn by persons, who, we have already stated,
were hired, to Rubinson's; but instead of unanimous
acclamations of welcome, his Lordship was assailed
by a din of sounds that could not have been the
most mtuieul to his ears, among which " The
Qin en," " 'the Queen ;" " Is Majoechi with you ?"
" Down to the Tees," &e., were plainly distinguish-
able. His Lordship addressed she populace from
the inns, and in the course of his speech held up his
infant child in his arms, connecting the act with
allusion to the late Sir Henry Vane; but the tenor
of his Lordship's speech we have not heard. His
Lordship gave the populace 20 guineas to drink.—
It having been expected that he would be •drawn
through the town, the horses had been sent some
distance forward; but either the two-legged sub-
stitutes for these useful animals grew tired of their
job and declined dragg his Lordship further, or
else his Lordship thought it best to terminate some-
what suddenly his :riumphal exhibition, by ordering
the horses to he sent tot back and immediately re-
harnessed the vehicle ; which being done, it was
driven off at full stv::•d. We are told that Lady
Stewart was so alarmed at the rudeness displayed
by the populace that she His Lordship's
tenants, who were marshalled in a body, we believe,
under Mr. Ilawkes, one of his Lordship's principal
agents at Thorpe, on seeing the carriage gave three
divers, and accompanied it to W'ynytusl. When his
Lortkilip lust visited this county he was every where
hailed with acchunathms of joy. So different u re-
ception now will probably make an impression on
his Lordship's mind; and he might employ himself
less useffilly 'ban in re fleeting upon the fact, and en-
deavouring to ascertain the cause.

BREACH OF PROMISE OF DIA RRIAGE.TIIOIIPSON V.

Serrastaaa I.—So great was the anxiety to hear this
trial, that from eight in the morning till Iwo in the afternon,
the Cum t was excessively crowded, while the merest quest taint
of abstract right a liich a Dandy Dinmont could twists to liti-
gate were discussed. At length TI loon and 'Bemire WaS
aimounced, and the Jury was sworn.
Mr. Tindull opened the pleadings in the usual form.
Mr. Brougham.—You have heard from my teamed friend,
who opened the pkndings generally, what the nature of this
action W. It :slam my slaty to strut the circumstances which
have it birth. Miss Sarah Thompson is the daughtts of a
very respectable man, a Mr. Thompson, is ho lives nut far
frosii this place, and near Scothy. In ISO the defendant
lweanie intimately acquainted in Mr. Thompson's family.—
NI is, Thompson is a young lady of considerable personal ;re •
complishinents. An intimacy' hegira to be formed between
her and the def.-I.llmo, and in course of one or two years it
became manifest to her father. It naturally soon became
much talked of in the neighbourhood. They because was may
attached, and the rieigubours considered them as about to
heroine man and w ife. The parent then began to feel w hat
was perfectly natural but what lie cannot lie blamed for not
having expressed before, ass /satiety to know whether his
daughter was fairly dealt with. Ile asked Mr. Blumire, the
defeuilant, what w. re his imentions ? His answer was per.
firefly natural—" If eve, lie married any person, he would
marry his daughter." Mr. Thompson considered it his duty
to put the same question again. lie promised distinctly to
make Miss Thompson his wife. Now, gentlemen, there is
out the slightest pretence for insinuating the slightest impu-
tation Oil bliss Thompson's character, or for laminating that
she leis done ally thing unworthy of the purest female deli-
cacy, or what would reduce in any degree the damages
which I now claim. Centlenieu, I meals to say in plain
ter ale that she did not what would now greatly diminish

Daring the, life of Mr. lilansire's father, it might be
thought wow/trident for the marriage to take place; but
some tiine:ialterwarils the declared lover was again asked
w hillier he meant to fulfill his engagement, and he repealed
Isis warmest love mid attachasent for Miss Thompson.— But
he had in Ilie course of time shown, what his letters to the
plaintiff' indicated, a feeling for himself which occasioned the
breach of Iris pronii.e, mill caused the present action. Oilier
views opened upon him, and he nitrified smoother lady, a
Miss Oliver, a lady of large prevent fortune, and larger ex-
pectations. In Assiut lit' character and respectability Miss
Tii icon, to vi I lie had vowed the strongest attachment,
and whom lw afterwards abandoned because she was tars rior
in fin lone. The defendant had removed on a tour, or excur-
sion of business to Northumberland, and there he wrote a
letter, lated from Newcastle, in which, in the usual way,
he exereses the evils of absence, his impatience to see Miss
Thom; ~,, Asc. " My dearest Sarah, I have embraced the
earliest opportunity sir writing a few lines. I don't like
Newcastle so well as I did. I should be much happier with
you, my dear Sarah." There were two or three other objects
al!ialed to al the letter, one was au object always of a great
deal of attention with him, namely, Isis horse.—( A loud
laugh).—" I am afraid it is ill be Saturday night before
w ill gel fence, as the. horse dots nut roil for the cap, but for

I wish I was hack to yon again, my dear Sarah, as tittle
are none on earth I love but you. I remain. dearest Sarah,
y-ourallectionute lover, E. lilamire." A day or two after
lie writes another letter, in which he says,—" 1 have been
very ill, and last night I thought I should have died." llere
as it were, with all the solemnity of a death-bed, he
declares the warmth and unalterable at dour of his 1111. CC 1 iI3II

this expiession—" I I imik (lit, hone will not run at all this

Mr. Armstrong, did very well, and fell ill also —( All uproar

" My DEAREST SARAH:2:I;M not able to tell what I
felt when you were well; but for myself, I have been
very ill all this week, and paricularly last night I thought
I should have died. I have never been at the play but a
short time on Tuesday, and Armstrong was with me; he
has behaved himself very well, he is very ill also. I think
the horse *ill not run at all this week, as he has fallen
amiss. If it should not, I will be at home on Friday
night. I have stopped with Joseph Johnson since Mon.
day, which I think is much pleasanter than stopping at
inn. lam longing to see you, my dearest Sarah, if all be
well. I think on Friday night ; lam very sorry I did not
bring my await mate with me, as I am quite tired with
the walking. 1 see none here half so good as she is; she
is much superior to any horse here as Jack is to any about

" My DFARESI SARAH.—I have this moment received
your dear letter, which made me very happy to hear you
were well, lam getting fat with London. But I think I
won't get much fatter, as we leave on Monday evening,
and come directly by the mail; so we will be in Carlisle on
Wednesday afternoon if all be well, therefore you will
not have time to answer this. I have just received a let-
ter from my sister; she mentions the death of the doctor
of the 15th Hussars. I was very sorry to hear it. The
evening before I left Carlisle he was playing at billards in
good health. This is au uncertain world, therefore we
should take care of ourselves. Mary says Jemiena John-
son is married, so nobody need despair. I was at Covent
Garden on Wednesday night, and saw the new tragedy
of Evadne, the part of Evadne by Miss O'Neil, support.
ed by Messrs. Macready, Young, Charles Kemble, and
Abbot ; it is a beautiful thing; Macready was the greatest
by far. lam just going now to Richard Thomson's office,
it is within three minutes walk of your aunt's; James
Connel is in town, but I have not seem him yet. I saw
Hunter, Emily's master, this morning; he is at the same
house as we are. I long very much to see you again, my
dear Sarah ; it is au age since I saw you last; but 1 will
see you, my dear before another week is over. Burn
and Dowee passed his shop the other day. You may
expect MC nay dear Sarah, the firs' thing on Thursday

Mr. Scarlett.—What ! is it all done? lam very sorry
there is no more of it. There arc worse verses made
about Carlisle.
The Rev. J. lleyshani mars led the defendant and Dliss
Hannah Oliver in November last.

Mrs. Oliver was called, but not appearing,
Mr. Brougham said he did not pen it. This was his
cast'.
Mr. Scarlett.—l know not whether I shall be able to
keep up the lone of merriment and ridicule which my
learned friend very judiciously introduced into this cause.
Not only are love letters in their very nature ridiculous,
but this cause is of a character which could not be 111411•
tioued to you with affected gravity. Even Mr. Brougham
discovered that the letters betrayed a greater passion for
the horse than the lady. Women at a certain age are
really older and discreeter than men. They know at In
what we discover much later. Nature, that has accom-
plished them in all things, has given them this advantage
too ; and Ails!' 'Thompson must have said to her sister,
" Look at that ridiculous buy, lie thinks himself in love,
but he is 1111101 101Ider of his horse." But what injury has
she sustained i is she pining ? I dare say she is as hand-
some as she was before. No promise has been proved on
her part, no expression has appeared to have escaped her.
Dim bad lived unmarried to the age Witt, it appeals 110
complaint would have been made. It was never, there-
fore, deemed by themselves a promise of marriage : but
treated, gentlemen, with levity or with gravity, you will
nut think serious damages due.
Mr. Justice Holroyil summed up at considerable length,
and the Jury, without leaving the box, considered for ;i
few minutes, and found a verdict tor the plaintiff—Da-
mages 1001.
This verdict was evidently not expected ; but it gave
general and high satisfaction.

The Duke of Wellington, it is said, will join the
King on the Continent, and after assisting at his
Majesty's coronation, will accompany his Itoyul
mater to Park and thowe to England.
