DREbDtN, JULY 6.

Nevtr did our town and its neighbourhood present
so-formidable an aspect. This residence, hitherto so
peaceable, has all at once become a place of arms.
%The Emperor has visrted all the positions, and all the
debouches, on both banks of the Elbe, from Schan-
dau to Torgau. A larys camp has just been traced
OW near Pirna and Willingsisild 4. Fortifications are
constructing upon the Lulienstin, opposite Koenig-
itein ; the• batteries will command the Elbe : rocks
hate been blown up in marking out the line of the
firrtifications. The r.imparts of Neustadt-Drisde are
of a force and circumference sufficient to make a
very important place of it. A camp of barracks con-
tains part of the Imperial guard. We are also em-
ployed in pallisading the gates of Attstadt ; workmen
have been called from all the circles Of Satonyo--
Considerable reinforcements of entire regiments of- in-
fantr,y and cavalry daily arrive from Mayente, by
the military roads of Erfurt and Leipsic. Provisions
-We ensured by the resources of the country, as well
as in. the convoys which arrive in boats on the Elbe,
or by waggons coming from the side of the Rhine.—
An extraordinary communication of the States of
Saxony it talked of; each circle will send two dis-
patches from the nobility, and two from the citizens.

The beautiful Park and Estate of Kempton is to be
brought to the hammer on the 13th of August.
As pail of the 851 h light infantry were practising
hall firing on the beach near Hythe, on Tuesday
se'imight, one of the men's muskets, in the rear, acci-
dentally w nt off, and unfortunately wounded two
men—iCe ball having passed through she thigh of
one man, and thr..ugh both the thighs of the other,
breaking one of the knee joints, making three wounds
and six orifices: one kg of the latter was immediately
amputated, but the poor fellow died on the Friday;
the 'other man is likely to recover.

Cruti.DHALL.—Saturday, Mrs. Duce;., a lady of
fashion, was summoned before Sir JAMES SILIWE, by
a hackneyrconcliman, who demanded 24 shillings for
conveying the Lady and her party to the late grand
Fete at VJuthall. The coachman stated that he took
up the c-.mpitiiy in St. Ann's-lane, and conveyed
them to the entrance 4.f the Gardens. They did not
pay him when he left the coach, and he remained near
the doors till near seven oklock in the morning; he
then returned to the lady's house, ana demanded 24
shillings for twelve hours hire Mrs. D. offered him
seven shillings, which he refused. Mrs. D. in answer
-vs die charge, said, that she told the coachman, on
entering the Gardens, not to wait ; but that, in the
burry and pressure of 'the crowd, she had neglected to
pay. him his fare. When she left .the Gar ens with
her friends, at three o'clock in the morning, they
could neither tind the coach by which they can't', nor
ley other, to convey them home, Sir James SnAwe
said, he had no doubt the ladY.foutid. a di(fitttlty in
procuring a coach to return from the Gardens ; he
himself went from the Fete at three o'cioc Ir,• and then
the.carriagrs.were so numerensthat he couldnot and
his own, and'vras obliged to walk home. It was ta.
they unfortaniste that the lady did not discharge the .
eciach, by:paying the fare. Under these-circumstances
the worthy Alderman thought the coachman entitled
to his demandb and therefore oteesed• him te be paid
the money

Divine Service was performed this morning in the
private Chapel in the Castle, at which were present

Yesterday afternoon, the young Gentlemen of Eton
College had their last aquatic excursion on the river
Thames this season. They started in si elegant
.boatrfrom Windsor and Eton Bridge, and proceeded
in grand procession to a meadow belonging, to MoN-
TAGUE GROVES, Esq. at Bovney, directly opposite
Surley Hall, whore they were very hospitably regaltd
with a variety. of refreshments ; after which they set
off for the place from whence they started. The
young Gentlemen wore the beautiful and splendid
dresses which they had on new the last King's Birth.
day. The band of the Royal Horse Guards accom-
panied the procession, and played some grand and
delightful pieces, which had a very fine effect from
the water. The Queer; and PRINCESSM honoured
Mr. TOWNLEY WARD with a visit on the occasion, at
his seat at Surley Hall, to view the procession, and
did not return to the Castle till nine o'clock. About
the same time the young Gentlemen returned to
Windsor and Eton Bridge, when there was a grand
discharge of fireworks. A great concourse of people
were assembled on the occasion.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 24.
STEWART V. RAINS.

On Saturday Mr. RICHARDS replied on behalf of
the plaintiff. All that had been said as to the charac-
ter or reputation of Dr. Raine, he was ready to sub-
scribe to, but there were likewise character and merit
claimable by the plaintiff, as appeared from his con-
duct in the school ; but contended that character in
either party had no connection with the merits of this
case.

The LoaDCllANcEu.oftobservedthat no just ground
of imputation in tkis case laid against any re son,
but as many circumstances required elucidation, and
his Lordship cr,uld not, without indelicacy, decide
this motion, owing to not having been present at the
last meeting of the Governors Ott the Charter-house,
at which the arrangement grounding the present suit
had been adopted. he should feel bound to call his
Honour the Master of the Rolls, to a ,ociate with him
at the final bearing. On these constderatious the
motion was granted.

AVELINO V. BENNETT.
This action was brought to recover from the .de-
fendant, a man of large fortune, the sum of *62. 10s.
for the board, lodging, washing, clothing, and school-
ingrof
,an illegitimate son of the defendant, for two
years and one half, at Bs. per week for board and
lodging.—The plaintiff was a widow, and mod= of
five children. _ _

The brother of the mother of the child proved that
sbe was his sister ; that she went into defendant's ser•
vice at the age of 14; that at the age of 17 he was
with child, and defendant confessed it was by him,
and then promised that he would take care of the
mother and of the child, give it, if a boy, clothis,
schooling, and necessaries, and put it out apprentice.
The defence was, that the agreement was for 4s.
per week, and that on plaintiff demanding to be paid
at a higher rate, defendant said he would not give
more, and that plaintiff might take the child to the
parish officers, and fiiiate him, it not satisfied. She
replied, that she would, rather keep it at the price.
The defendant never had demanded the child to be
given up to him.
Lord ELLENBOROUGII said, that directing the child
to be filiated was nugatory, it not being in the power
of plaintiff to filiate him. The defendant, when
swayed by the proper feelings of hum inity, had pro-
mised, as in duty he ought, -o provide for his child,
that promise had not been recaged, and the Jury
would consider whether the charges made by plain-
tiff were excessive ? It was.their dusty to give what
was reasonable.—The JUry, without hesitation, found
i verdict for pkaintiff, for the whole of het detvami.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, JULY 19.
BREACH 01, PItuMIRB UP MARRIAGE.

This was an action brought by Miss Frances
French, against Mr. Ignatius Keogh, tor a breach
of promise of marriage. The damages were laid at
Five Thousand Pounds. It appeared that a contract
of marriage had been regularly made between the
parties ; that they corresponded and looked upon
each other as bound indissolubly together ; the de-
tendant, however, became embarrassed—was put into
the Sheriff's Pi ison—and declined to fulfil the con-
tract. An Act of Insolvency was passed, Mr. Keogh
was about to avail himself of it, but finding a fiat
which had been obtained at the suit of the young
Lady against him, an insuperable bar to his enlarge-
ment, he agreed once more to renew the contract,
which he did in writing, and upon getting two friends
of-his to become guarantees for the due fulfilment of
it, he regained his liberty. He continued to cones-
poad with the Lady ; but after a short interval, the
ardour of his love became cooler and cooler. Each
letter was more formal and less affectionate than the
preceding one, until at length he wrote, to say, that
in consequen.-e of an anonymous letter, which he
said he had received, but which was never produced,
he could not think of making her his wife. The letter
which contained this intimation, closed the correspon-
dence. Judge D. in his charge to the Jury, chit-
rac:::rised it as a most base and disgraceful, though
well written, composition. He said it was evident
from the style of the letter, that the writer had looked
into books, but its matter afforded a melancholy proof
of his perversion to ill-purposes of the information he
had acquired. Of the anonymous letter which the
defendant assigned as the motive of breaking off the
contract, his Lordship •Observed,. that it might never
have had any existence, save in the imagination of
the defendant bisnself—and if it had an actual exis.
tence, it might have been in his own composition. If
this were ►wt se, the Learned Judge asked, why had
not the defendant shewn the letter to the young
Lady's•friends, that they might endeavour to disco-
trr punish her log calumniator 3 Upon the
whore his Lordship pronounced it one of the most
aggravated cases of tha• kind that had ever come be-
fore him. The Jury found a verdict'for the plaintiff
—Damages &MO and costs.
