CHELTENHAM,— JULY 22.— PAGANINI'S
two Concerts took place at the Assembly Rooms on Wed-
nesday evening and yesterday morning, and were as nu-
merously attended as it was possible for them to have hmt.
His reception was enthusiastic in the extremo. An un
toward incident, however, occurred in the afternoon of
yesterday, which at ilne time assumed a rather serious
aspect. PAGANINI, in advertising his Concerts, had
stated " that his numerous engagements would render it
impossible for him to remain beyond that time ;" yet
having engaged to play at the Theatre last night, he was
accordingly announced. This tha residents and visitors
of the place considered as act of unfairness towards the
regular subscription balls at the Rotunda, especially as
Mr. JEARRAD, the proprietor, had relinquished his usual
musical entertainment on the previous evening, in order
that PAGANINI'S talents might have fall scope. Im-
mediately the Signor's intention was, therefore,
made known, captain M. BERKELEY, and W. L.
L4wlet4pg, Esq., took upon themselves to print
a handbill, calling upon the Nobility and gentry to
support the establishments of the town, by p4t:oriising the
ball of last night, considering it merely as an act of justice
to the proprietor. T,,e effea of this was to secure a
thronged attendancii at the Rotunda Ball, and so poor an
assemblage at the theatre, that PAGANINI refused to per-
form. This was communicated to the audience by
the
Minager, who expressed himself ready to retwA the aihnis-
sion money. Instead of quietly wAttnkawing, they, (the
audience) proceeded en nicis;s,~ to the Plough Hotel, to
demand of P.spAtlitti the fulfilment of his engagement.
liere a formidable mob was soon collected ; and after
threatening to pull the house down, and uttering denunoia•
tions against the musical phenomenon, succeeded in
frightening him into compliance; and hg went to the
Theatre, where he performed two el his most favourite
pieces with his wgntgd success and evlat. The perform-
ance at the Thestre was for play-houe prices. The Signor
left at midnight, in a chaise and four, from the Plough for
London.

SUMMLR ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

YORK, JuLr 22.
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE,-CHADWICK V.

WALLEY.

Mr. MARSHALL opened the pleadings. The plain-
•iff sought to recover a compensation in damages for
t breach of promise of marriage. She was a per.
-on of connections,h
aadn
been
ehna de
com-
pleted
y
left London, and had then gone to reside with some
iagn:Loe'xinenefd'lllore:nii.TeAdaunbcdoaut three years ago she had tl
relatives, who were respectable tradespeople, in
Leeds. It was at the house of these relatives that
she first became acquainted with the defendant.
He also resided in Leeds, where he carried on the
business of a woolstapler. The defendant having
procured an introduction to the family of the plain-
tiff, offered himself as the young lady's suitor; and
as there seemed to be no objection either to his cir-
cumstances or his character, his proposals were ac-
cepted, and he was regarded by all her friends as
her intended husband. This intimacy continued
for some time. He must admit, and he had no
wish to conceal the circumstance from the Jury,
that in the course of the intimacy the plaintiff had
yielded to the entreaties of the defendant, and had in
consequence become a mother. But that citcu:n-
stance, whatever might be said of it to-day, had not
abated the attentions of the defendant, for he had
continued for a long time afterwards to make ho-
nourable professions, and had repeatedly assured
herself and her friends that it was still his intention
to make her his wife. His visits continued to be
paid with the same regularity as heretofore, and it
was not until May last, when he returned a portrait
of the plaintiff, and also a ring which he had taken
as a pattern for the wedding-ring, that his faithless-
ness became apparent. Three days afterwards the
defendant married another lady, and by that mea-
sure put it out of his power to perform his promise,
and make the only amends for the injury he had
done her. These were shortly the circumstances
under which the plaintiff sought • redress.
Mrs. Emmett examined—lam the plaintiff's aunt.
I live at Leeds: Tee plaintiff came to my house
on her return from London. The defendant became
acquainted with her about three weeks after she
came. I did not know the defendant before; he is
a woolstapler, residing in Leeds. He professed ho-
nourable intentions, and said it was his intention to
marry the plaintiff. The pregnancy of the plaintiff
was discovered before she left my house. When
that circumstance was made known, defendant said
that. her friends might make themselves peifectly
easy, as it was his intention to make her his wife.
Cross-examined—My husband is a joiner. I
don't know how the plaintiff arid defendant first be-
came acquainted. He was not introduced to me by
any one—he introduced himself. He knocked at
the door one day, and asked for me. I saw him,
and then he asked my consent to pay his visits to
my niece. I asked him his name and what he was,
and I consented. He stayed about half an hour at
that time, anti used to come four or five times a
week afterwards.

Mrs. Arnott was the mother of the plaintiff.--
Witness Gist discovered the pregnancy of her
daughter at Bradford, where witness was at the
time nursing one of her daughters who was sick.
Witness afterwards took a house in Leeds, and the
plaintiff resided with her. Defendant continued to
visit plaintiff at witness's house. Witness men-
tioned to him her daughter's situation, and asked
him what he intended to do. Defendant assured
her he meant to marry the plaintiff; and begged wit-
ness not to trouble herself about the matter. Soon
after defendant married another woman. Witness
had 23 cottages of her own.
Mr. Baron VAUGHAN summed up the case, and
the Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, 1001.
With this ease the Assizes terminated.

STAFFORD, Juzr 23,
The Commission for this county wai opened on
Thursday evening, and yesterday the business com-
menced, after the Judges had. attended Divine
Service at Sr. Mary's Church.
The business on the civil side, before Mr. Justice
PARK, was commenced with an action for a breach
of promise of marriage, brought by a widow of 61,
against a widower of about 65. The plaintiff, Jane
Gillimore kept a public-house at a place called Lane-
end, in Staffordshire. She was the mother of seven
children, and the grandmother of five or six. The
defendant, Lewis Fisher, was a gardener. It was
stated that the marriage had been twice fixed, and
postponed by the defendant; arid that on one occa-
sion an appointment was made with the persons whO
were to accompany the parties to church. The
defendant had since married.
Mr. CAMPBELL, for the defendant, put it to the
Jury whether it was a very decent thing in this old
granny to bring an action of this description. She
ought to have been thinking of her latter end in-
stead of a husband.

JUstieePARK designated the parties as two
old fools, and said that the action was all stuff and
nonsense.—Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, is.

MISS WELLESLEY.-A correspondent has
furnished us with the following particulars respecting the
concealment of this young lady, which, in its consequences,
shares the puhlia attention even with the Reform Bill itself.
On Fridq night information was received by Miss vcEL-
LI:si..-ora guardians, which led to the belief that she was
otiocaled in the neighbourhood of Uxbridge. A messenger.
was immediately despatched t 9 a trusty police-officer, who,
'was at the time in attendance at Prince ESTERHAZY'S
The officer, properly accompanied, lest no time in setting,
off for the place inthicated; on their arrival a strict search
took place., eihich extended to several houses. Miss Wer.-..-
LEM..tw was not found ; but such a clue was supposed to'
be obtained as caused the officer au! his compankaKs to
proceed to a greater distance._.the place we ale ;lot per-
mitted to make public at present. The guardians of the
young lady are a4t3isaed, from the information they have
received, thm he is still in England. A few minutes after
Miss., Wkia.Rsucv was taken from 114ss Loslc's house, the
officer now in pursuit was sent for, and watched Mr. WEL- •
LESLEY'S house so closely as to ascertain that Miss W 13.-
entry' was within, es;„"/ that she was taken over the garden-
wall to the carri,ibge, but not having authority he could not
act. At, 'sa said the French Goverment has been applitd
