MAUDE V. MORRIS.

The plaintiff in this case is a female, and the defendant
a proprietor of one of the Paddington stages. It appeared
that in Augu't last the plaintiff and a friend got into one
of the Omnibuses in the Regent's-park, for the purpose
of going to the Bank. They had not been in long, when
the defendant's stage came up, and the coachman opened
the door of the Omnibus, and told them that be would
take them both to the Bank for eighteenpence. This
seemed too tempting an offer to resist, and they got
out of the Omnibus into the coach. The coachman drove
very furiously, and when it arrived in the City-
road one of the wheels came off, by which the
coach was upset, the plaintiff and her friends thrown
out, and considerably hurt. These facts having been
proved in evidence, the Jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff—Damages 301.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
WILLIS, BART. V. BARNARD, BART.
This case (which is an action of trim. con.) which
has excited considerably curiosity, was this morning post-
poned indefinitely on account of the non-arrival of wit-
nesses. The Court af.erwards took Common Jury causes
of no public interest.

On Tuesday week their MAJESTIES Will
honour Drnry-lane with their presence. The School for
Scandal will be the comedy; the second piece is not yet
fixed upon, but most probably an opera will conclude the
entertainments.

AXIOMS FOR DINING OUT !—The Court
Journal of this day contains a set of Axioms for Diners
Out, which serve as an excellent vade-mecum to every
uninstructed member of the vast family of the Diners Out.
Among various other piquant papers, in particular will be
found a description of a Radical Lord—a Scene, entitled
" The March of Sedition" an Essay, at once elegant and
humourous, on the Prospects of the Season—and last, but
not least, tke " Portrait of a Lady !"

The family of his Grace the Duke of
BEAUFORT have, within these few days, been plunged
into the deepest affliction by the unexpected demise of
Lady ISABELLA ANN KINGSCOTE, their Graces' sixth
daughter, a highly accomplished and beautiful young
lady, who expired on the 2(1 instant, at her Roble father's
seat, Badminton. Her Ladyship, who was in her 23,1
year, was the wife of THOMAS HENRY KINGSCOTE, Esq.,
of Kingscote Castle, to whom she was married in April,
1828. Lady ISABELLA was niece to the Marquis of
STAFFORD, and Lords CHARLES, NORBORNS BERKELEY,
EDWARD, JOHN, and FITZROY S•XXERSET.

The despatches which have been received from
the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, and which were immediately
forwarded to the KING, at Brighton, are of great interest.
We hear, from a quarter not likely to be misinformed, that
his Royal Highness recommends several concessions to the
Hanoverian subjects of his MAJESTY; and that the re-
commendation will be acted upon almost immediately.

The Countess SOMERS died on Wednesday,
at Eastnor Castle, Herefordshire, the seat of Earl SOMERS.
Her Ladyship, who was daughter of the Rev. EDWARD
TREADWAY NASH, was considerably advanced in years,
and was married in April, 1785, to Earl Swamis, by
whom she had a family of three sons and one daughter_.
viz., the Hon. Major EDWARD SOMERS Cocxs, of the 16th
Lancers, a gallant and promising young officer, who was
killed at the siege of Burgos, in Spain, Bth October, 1812 ;
JOHN SOMERS, Viscount EASTNOR, M.P. for Hereford ;
the Hon. and Rev. JAMES SOMERS COCKS, Prebendary of
Hereford; and Lady MARGARET MARIA COCKS.

It is reported in the haut ton, that Sir Mos.
REIMELL, Bart. will lead to the hymenial altar, this day,
Lady EuzasEnt PECK, sister to the Archbishop of
ARMAGH.

The present week has afforded a striking
specimen of the variableness of our uncertain climate. As
late as Sunday night last we had a heavy fall of snow, and
the atmosphere piercingly cold; while on Wednesday the
.
thermometer in the shade rose to 60, and was not below
50 during the whole 24 hours of that day and night.
FASHIONABLE PARTIES.--The host of
readers in general, to whatsoever' political parties they may
respectively incline, will doubtless regard with considerable
interest an essay on " parties" of that gay species to which
the Goddess of Fashion has lent the sanction of her name.
The subject is to be discussed in the next number of the
Court Journal, which will range under an appropriate
classification, with a due estimate of their several claims
and merits, the following, among other distinguished co-
teries, namely, those of Northumberland House, Apsley
House, Gloucester House, Devonshire House, Holdernesse
House, Holland House, and Dudley House ; of Lord HERT-
FORD, Prince LEOPOLD, Princess ESTERHAZY, Mrs. 'TOPE,
Lady ABERDEEN, Lord CHESTERFIELD, Lady G. AGAR
Lady COWPER, Lady TA NicEitymn, Princess LIEVEN,
Ecus, Lady ARRAN, Lady GLENGALL, Duchess of Sr.
ALBANS, Lady Coax, Lady CAROLINE BARHAM, &C. &c.
