Mr. Sergeant Sruttas staled We case rile the olaintic
whose name was Elizabeth Wat,on, the daugh•er ot 4
retired ship-builder. lisiiig at 1.) nii. f tie engagement
entered into by the defendant was of his 0.. n trAianary
contraction. The plaintiff is about thisty-seven, anti the
defendant upwards sit forty years old.
Mi.s Caioline Watson liras called-.. Plaintiff is het
sitter; loses with her father at Lynn. Remembers tier
sister going to their other sisier's (Mrs. Xleniby's) in
the Spring• of 1826. S..w Mr. 6odirey about a fort.
night after her sister returned. Deteridaiit went in.o
'her father's room on the 1$ July, to ethiverse nith
him; continued to come to her fattnei's house till Use
sth of September ; ceased to come after that time. bile
went with her sister to purcoa,e dresse; for the wedding,
ab. ut the Stith August. Defendant's attentions we e
paid to 'her sister=they %me those of a lover. Ihe
effect of the discontinuance of •t eiendant's visits • wait
v
depression' of spirits in her sister. She could gotta tend
to the domestic concerns which previously she had at-
tended to; she was often in tears.
Mr. Baron GaRROW mingled up the case to the Jury.
He had long been of opinion that actions such as these
were often treated very improperly in Courts of Jus-
tice. The deliisdant first m +Ale his proposal to Miss
Howlett. If that were a pope'. selection, it ought to
have gone on to completion. He afterwards tout the
opinion of me of the witnesses as to what sort of wile
the present plaintiff would make. Did it appear that
she put herself in the way, so as to entangle him with a
marriage? So far from it. the defendant addresses
himself to the plaintiff's father, with the view of ob.
tainin* her. She was the nearest prop of that rattles
declining years. The father, for some reason, did not
approve of the match ; at last be agreed to it, and to
give the safne som as to his other daughters. If the
plaintiff' had received the addresses of the defendant
whilst he was paying his addresses to Miss Howlett,whst
could be the inference, but this, that she acted with an
indelicacy, alike indifferent to her own happiness, and
ro the happiness of others ? But it was not so here. The
plaintiff Was' persuaded that the former connection' had
ceased. All on a sudden she is left. To be sure, that
'might have been good reasons for this, and amongst
them poverty and embarrassment might be reckoned.
Wei it so here ? No ; the engagement with the plain-
tiff was 'broken off for the purpose of making rains for
Miss Holwett, and this almost at• the time when the
period bad arrived for the placing upon the plaintiff's
finger the marriage ring. But the plaintiff had been
spoken of as a retired person, and as tot going much
into the world. Well, be it so, but had she lost nothing
by this conduct in the defendant ? -He would guard
_against ridicule when he asked whether any mostly/odd
.not rather prefer a virgin heart to a bean that had been
engaged to another, and bad given way under his soli-
citation? He was happy that the amount of damages
bid not rest with himself, but only where the Constanw
tion had lodged it, with a Jury of enlightened minds,
and of liberal education. He left chemise in their hands,
not conscious of having done more than his duty in the
remarks be had made.

The Jary returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
Damages, 9001.

Lord COCHRANE, it is said, is at length satisfied that
enough has bees done for fame, and has deteamained oe
casting anchor for lifb, amongst his old eaelmies, the
French. He has certainly purchased a splendid hotel is
the new quarter of Paris, fkaujon.
Yestesday afternoon, betseen three and.four o'cicck,
the metropolis and its environs were visited II a tre-
mendous storm of hail, thunder, and lightning. The
hail.stooes were very large, and did considerable da-
mage. After the storm bad subsided, it turned ex-
tremely cold.
About two O'clock yesterday afternoon, as the clever
of.one of the coaches belonging to the hite Horse-
yard, Tichborne.street, Piccadilly, was enteiing the
'gateway, a sudden jerk threw him from the hos, and
the wheel passed . over head. He was immediately
,taken up, when it was found that life was extinct.
The tee paid to Sir Jnisza &MULTI', fur his attend-
ance at Cambridge. Assizes last week, was 400 guineas
besides the sum of 20 guineas to his clerk.
The weekly discharges of mechanics from Plymouth
Duck-yard ate kept up—a fact which does not indicate
any urgent demand for an additional arcs' force iz. the
event of a Turkish war.

The construction of St. Katharine's Dock proceeds
rapidly. The warehouses on the Eastern side ale al.
ready roofed in, and have been raised to such a height
as completely to overlook the different. buildings in the
Tower opposite.
Last Friday, a person, whilst ploughing on Dote
Moor, turned up a silver coin, measuring about sixteen Hoes across,
and weighing about seventeen dwts. The piece Is in good preset.
vation, and presents on the obverse the German Imperial Eagle
surmounted with the I'apal Crown, and the following circuntscrip.
tion--CASOLVS• V RONA' Loraine AV6IIII. On the reverse the
keys of S. Peter, in a shield.lourish, with, the date 1545, the
whole circumscribed thus—Moor:am PIMIJCI HATlSiomictetlib
This curiosity, so accidentally discovered, is evidently a piece of
money coined for Ratisbon during the Emperorship of the celebrated
Charles V —Adger! Iris.
