At the Home Circuit Assize, held at Maidstone on Thursday, ln-fore Clnel justice inic nuu it htoi; jury, mo was tried It was an action orougut ny uitnu uiuum nao.o Richard Gibbs for the breach of his promise to marry her. The defendant, in addition to the usual pleas denying the promise, tx.c, also nleaded that the plaintiff had not required him to perform the marriage ceremony to which he had also caused to be placed on the record two other pleas of an extraordinary nature, in one ot wlitcti lie aucgeu mac after making the promise be ascertained that she was. suffering from incurable consumption, anil was on that account unable to perform the nf a wife and iii the other, that he was required to assign over certain 'propertv to which, tlirough. Ids wife, he would liave been c-n- .1 j'o niin A- utteU, TO Oilier persons, llic mintages were mm at bers. iii onenine the case, said the plaintiff was the eldest surviving daughter of a gentleman residing at Wateringbury, Kent.
He had formerly been in business as an extensive farmer, but was unfortunate and, being in difficulties, and largely indebted to his wife's relations, had offeree! to give up his farm to his brother-in-law; anil his relations had consented to pay an ms iienrs on security ior repayment, auuue-fendant was also a farmer and lion grower in the same neighbourhood, and on intimate terms with the plaintiff and her relations and constantly visited them, and had even opportunity of observing the plnin-tilTs conduct and state of health "before he made the promise. The first proposal was made in August, 1848, at which time the plaintiff wns twentv-four years of age, and defendant, about forty-five, when she very properly told her tather what hail taken place anu ncr miner suose-quentlv called the defendant's attention to the disparity in their ages, but the defendant made no difficulty in this respect. Her father also told the defendant that he was aware he was not in a contUtion to give the plaintiff any fortune, when defendant said he did not desire money, having plenty to support his wife and all he desired was to marry the plaintiff. He was accordingly received as her acknowledged suitor. And defendant bought new furniture, and made alterations in his house on account of the intended marriage.
And at length the wedding was fixed to take place on the 18th of December, 1848, at the church of St, Martin's-in-fhe, Fields, by special licence; and he went to London a short time before to reside within the district the time required to get the license. Miss Adams was entitled to a small amount of property at the death of her mother, and it was necessary to executecertain deeds before the marriaze. audit, was arranged that he should he present at the office of the solicitor in Maidstone, for that purpose, on Thursday, the 14th of J'ecemuer, louruiiys ueiore toe marriage. xite nutiiiiiii. net tutnet, unit the other persons ititerested were accordingly there assembled on that day, hut defendant never made his appearance, and nothing more was heard of him from the month of December.
1818, till October, 1H-19, when he again made his appearance in London. Great, alarm was, of course, felt bv his friends and the plaintiff's family at his long disap- pcarance, anu ir was ruougur some aecKtem imu ueiatitu nun toe were annlied to. but no information whatever could be obtained re specting him, but it was at length ascertained that, on the day he was to nave been at Aiuiustone lie nan gone as tar as itcigaie uy toe ouuin Eustcm Railway, at which station he left the train and proceeded to Liverpool, to which place some notes he had received for stock he hail sold were traced, and it was suimosed he had none to America, but no letter was received by his own family or the plaintiffs until he was discovered ill London, as before stated." The defendant had never condescended to give any explanation of his proceedings. The learned counsel then proceeded to comment, on the two pleas above described in strong terms, declaring that he looked upon them us an aggravation of his misconduct, and said be did not believe they could haveemanated from him, but must have been put in by his attorneys. He was, however, instructed that there was no pretence for the allegation, and defied his learned friend to prove that the plaintiff was suffering from consumption.
as stated in the plea, and il he did not it was an additional insult to the voting lady, whom the defendant had already so deeply injured. In conclusion the learned counsel railed on the jury to consider that the amount of damages claimed was only a sufficient compensation for the injury the plaintiff had sustained. Fur the plaintiff her father, mother, and uncle were examined, mid their evidence fully corroborated all the principal facts of the learned counsel's statement. In cross-examimition it was elicited that all the plaintiff's fathers creditors, had received 20s. in the pound, that after the plaintiff had been deserted in the way described she seemed to suffer most acutely, both in mind and body, and the relations of the defendant pressed her to visit, them in order that they might console, her.
The uncle, a chemist mid druggist at admitted' that, among the meio -ines occasionally supplied from his shop for the plaintiff, cod's liver oil, a medicine recommended by physicians for consumptive patients, was frequently sent for. Dr. Watson, a gentleman very much consulted in cases of consumption, had also attended the plaiutitt. Cod's liver oil is also used in other cases besides consumption. In support of the plaintiffs cuse Mr.
Savory, a medical practitioner at Hastings, who attended the plaintiff from April to October, 1847, when she was at that town, proved that she was not suffering from consumption, and that, she improved under the remedies he prescribed for her. In cross-esnmiiin-tion he said she was able to walk about at Hastings. He was aware she was treated for consumption at Maidstone. She was reduced very much from constant sickness. Plaintiffs brother told him she was con-stnnptive, but he differed from him in opinion.
In re-examination ho said the appearance of the plaintiff certainly did not denote the existence of consumption, and there were other causes than that complaint to account for her symptoms, and he treated her accordingly. Proof w-as also given that defendant had made the necessary affidavit at the Vicar-General's office. Doctors' Commons, to enable him to have the special license, tliut. he had also given notice of the intended marriage to the parish clerk of St. Martiii's-in-the-Ficld's, London, and a waiter at Morley's Hotel proved that defendant had arranged with him on the terms 'tor a marriage brcukfast for Sat unlay, the 18th of December, 1818, and for five or six beds the night before.
Sergeant Shee, for the defendant observed, that the defendant had never intended to cast the slightest slur on the virtue or reputation of the plaintiff or her family, and he was instructed to make this admission, and also to say, that there was nothing whatever in the circum stances or conduct ot her lather to cast tue slightest discredit on him, and that the defendant would have been proud to ally himself to the family, hut for the reasons stated in the plea in regard to tlie health of the plaintiff, which was the real and substantial defence he was instructed to make. The defence lie had to urge upon the jury was that the defendant was not actuated by any improper motive, but that lie really loveu tins young woman, and intended to make her his wife, until he had reason to believe that from the state of her health their union must be a most unhappy one, and the offspring which would result, from it would in all probability be doomed to a premature grave. The learned counsel then at some length argued upon the facts that two of the plaintiff's sisters, one aged 2D and the other 22, had both been snatched away by consumption, and that her brother had been sent to India in tlie hope that it would preserve him from falling a sacrifice to the disorder also, that though one medical man had been called, who expressed his opinion that the idaintirf wns not suffering from the disease, yet Dr. Joy and Messrs. Williams, Watson, and Taylor, all men of eminence, and some of whom had constantly attended her, were in court, out nnu not ueen called as witnesses.
He asked the jury whether they could entertain any reasonable doubt of the tacts he had stated. In conclusion he said if they should in the result be of opinion that the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict, he would remind tbcm that there was no evidence to show that the defendant was in a condition to pay excessive damages, and trusted thev would consider a verv moderate sum would amply satisfy the justice of the case. Chief Justice Wilde having summed up, the jury retired, and after a short deliberation returned a verdict ior the plaiutitt Damages Curat Hundred rounds. Thk Pii.l Of Pills. A curious case was tried at the York Assizes, last week, in which two chemists were plaintiff and defendant.
The plaintiff is a Mr. Kirkus, of Liverpool, who married the sister of Mr. Torr, formerly of Doneaster, and the inventor of a family pill, sold with bis name as Torr's Pills," which was very generally patronised. The recipe wns left to the sister, and her husband commenced manufacturing them. Mr.
Atkinson, the defendant, afterwards became a manufacturer of Torr's Pills," and hence this action. Mr. Martin, for the plaintiff, described the virtues of the pills in glowing terms, summing up with the expulsion of a six yard tape-worm. Mr. Baron Aldcrson Red tape laughter Mr.
Martin also referred to a wonderful cure of water scurvy at Pontefrac.t, which borough tlie learned counsel observed he had the honour to represent in Parliament. He concluded by recommending his learned friend on the other side to take one. Mr Baron Aldcrson Perhaps the best way of deciding that part, of the question will be for six of the jury to take half-a-dozen of the plaintiffs pills, and the other six liulf-a-dozcn of the defendant's, and we shall sec which six go out first laughter. The examination of plaintiff witnesses having been gone into, the wonderful Pontefract case was again brought under notice, when Mr. Watson suggested that that rase must have occurred since the last contested election for that borough laughter.
Mr. Martin Oh. no I have no doubt the gentleman was a very good voter. Mr. Watson I'm afraid his being feasted too much at the election was the cause of his requiring the pills laughter.
Mr. Baron Alderson, examining the wrapper on one of the boxes, said he observed there was an advantage in taking three boxes at a time laughter, As plaintiff's case proceeded, there was a good deal more merriment excited. At its close, Mr. Watson rose to address the jury for the defendant, contending that neither he nor the plaiutifl' had any property in Torr's Pills, and that therefore Mr. Atkinson bad a perfect right to manufacture and sell them as he had done, not as Kirkus's Torr's Pills, hut as Atkinson's Torr's Pills.
And this was really the whole question. He had, therefore, no orcasion to dispute the valuable properties of these pills, two or three of which he had no doubt would be very useful among some of Mr. Martin's constituency at Pontefract on the morning after the election laughter. Mr. Baron Alderson Perhaps thev would cure nausea if they were at all sick of their member laughter.
Mr. Watson I am quite sure, my lord, the people of Pontefract, however weighed down, would never take these pills for that purpose renewed laughter. Mr. Biiron Alderson, in summing up, told the jury tiie question lor their consideration was whether or not the defendant had been selling these pills as and for the pills of Mr. Torr, manufactured by Mr.
Kirkus, making people believe, and intending them to believe, that they were taking Kirkus's Pills, when, in reality, they were taking Atkinson's Pills. The jury found their verdict for the defendant. At the Nottingham Assizes anothercaseof breachof promise ofmarriage was tried, the plaintiff being Miss Eliza Layco*ck, the sister of the plaiutifl in an action of the same nature, which was reported in The Observer of last Sunday. The defendant was described as a land valuer. In 1813, be, then very young, and a pupil of Mr.
Bright, an eminent surveyor in Sheffield, at the time residing in the house of that gentleman, became introduced to Mr. Henrv Lavco*ck, the brother of the plaintiff, and tlirough him to his sister and family so the intimacy with the plaintiff commenced. Since that time a son of Mr. Bright had married a sister of the plaintiff. After the engagement had been formed the defendant, as a land surveyor, went into the countv of Norfolk, and came again to reside at Sheffield, for a considerable space of time dwelling in Mr.
house. He again left Sheffield, anil appeared to have thrived beyond his expectations in his profession of a surveyor and land valuer. One day he met the brother of the plaintiff, and to him very coolly said, Oil, I cannot marrv your sister." The brother, quite astonished, asked Why not, he onlv answered, Oh, I do not love her well enough." Sir. Macaulav. Ci.C., addressed the jurv in mitigation of damages.
The jury gave" 2b0 damages. National Gallery.

A Rich Pauper. A widow woman, named Katinv Mole died last week at Bewdley, near Manchester. She had for many vears received relief from the parish, and after her death the family- n'erc agreeably surprised to find that she had amassed a sum of 70," part of which was iound in an old stocking, and JK100 in the Bewdlev Bank. Incen-diaky Fire Blrnham, Birctcs. On the night of tlie lGth mst.
a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. W. Till, which destroyed the whole of the buildings and the dwelling-house. The flames were first seen issuing from the bam, in which were twelve quarters of wheat, a large quantity of straw and of potatoes, also a winnowing machine. The stables and dwelling-house quickly caught the flames and were speedily rums, leaving tlie inmates barelv time to save a portion of their lurniture.
Hardly had this fire been' subdued when a more destructive one broke out on the premises of Mr. J. Nash, of Langley, near Burnham. Three barns, three straw-ricks, the stables, outbuildings, tic. ot the Harrow Inn, with various implements, were wholly consumed.
Both fires arc supposed to have been acts of incendiaries. tend by the General Pott. MARCH 25. lafeWJ'E the 19th, at Arhnqon-pface, Clifton, afaior G. H.

They were all Omnibus Racing. At the Wandsworth court, on Tuesday, James Turner, badge No. driver for Robert Dackhain, of the' omnibus No. 0,741 and James Page, bodge, No. 9,089, driver for Richard Render, of the omnibus No.
0,581, were summoned before Sir. Beadou at the instauce of Inspector Coleman, division, for furiously driving in the Wandsworth-road to tlie danger of passengers. The omnibuses running between Wandsworth anil the City (have been proverbial for civility and steady driving, but gome short tin; since Mr. Render and his foreman Daokham having parted, the latter was provided with the means of furnishing an omnibus and horses Sn his own account, and hence the opposition arose that occasioned the present proceedings. Mr.
T. Fox Cross, accountant, living at the Courland, Wandsworth-road, proved that "on the evening of that day week hehad just left his house when he heard vehicle coming along at a tremendous rate, and presently two omnibuses passed him. Thev were both swinging iu a fcurfut manner, and he was so certain that Duckfiain's omnibus would turn over that to avoid being crushed he ran back to his gate. Dackham'a omnibus went three or four yards further when two of the wheels went on the path, anil the driver fell oft, but whether he fell between the horses or not he could not state. The horses, being uncontrolled, went a little further at the same furious rate, when the omnibus turned over.
Had it come into collision with the other both must have been upset, and several persons killed. There was plenty of room for Mender's omnibus to have missed. Thev were both Koine at the rate of 16 miles an hour. When Dackham's omnibus got on the curb Render's pulled up, because of the" screaming ui tue passengers. mr.

It appeared from the evidence of policeman All, and other witnesses, that the defendants came into the theatre a little before nine o'clock, nud were admitted into one of the boxes in the dress circle, and wanted to occupy a front seat, but they were I old the front row bad been taken by parties not yet arrived. That, howeter, did not sati-d'y them, and they got into a passion, and Clifton swore, mid cries of Turn them out" being raised, the policeman who was in the lobby came in, and asked them In dcsiM from their noise, but this only made ihem the more violent, and on jus lavinghold of Clifton to remove hiin Aubnct attempted to obstruct him, protesting his friend should not he reimn ed. Until defendants saiil the real cause of the dispute was the system nf dt'inaiuluig fees fur seats of parties after they had paid for admission into the theatre, but denied that they had acted in a'uy other manner than became gentlemen. Mr. Hull said that Mr.
Clifton's ruhduct was highlv repreheiiMble, and as tluil of Mr. Aubriet was not of so violent a nature a difference would be made in las line, lloth parties hud rendered themselves liable to be imprisoned for it month, hut he would, under the circ*mstances, tine Mr. Clifton 5 or three weeks imprisonment, and Mr. Aubriet jf3 or I-I days' lloth tmci. uere paid.
Charge of Assault. At Marlbormigh-street, on Wcenesday, Mr. Reuben Amiss Taylor, Go, summoned before Jlr. Hardwick, for an assault on Mr. J.
Cniinington, a gentleman of fortune, residing at 10, Gloucester-place, Kentish Town. Mr. Wontner was present tor the complainant. It appeared from the evidence gone into that, on the Oth the complainant went to the house ot the defendant to sec his nephew, who was in -partnership with defendant, about some trust money, lie did not rind bis nephew there, but only the defendant, lie noticed a sort of whispering going on between defendant and another person. Immediately afterwards defendant ordered him to leave the shop, after seizing -him by the arm drew a wet handkerchief over his nose and mouth, which smelt as if it had contained putrid meat, and turned him by a forcible push into the street.
Complainant had hardly reached Kegent-street before he felt an extraordinary sensation in his head, he partlv lost his senses, and how he got ucross the street he was quite unable to tell. He was put iuto an omnibus by a friend, nud when he reached home bis eyes, nose, and mouth were discharging profusely. He felt as if he bad been severely salivated. His mouth broke out into sores on both sides, and he hail been ill ever since. His medical attendant for 15 years said he found him sutlering from slight congestion of the brain, and febrile action, depression nf breathing and imlammutioii of ttie mucous membrane of the nose, mouth, and labouring under considerable nervous excitement.
His nose and mouth were much Mvotlrn. Any irritating lluid applied to the nose would produce such symptoms. The defendant denied the charge, and the case was adjourned for a "week, lor the production of other witnesses, dilional "sum of to compensate her fur her trouble in that respect. Conflicting Statements. At Worship-street police court, on Tuesday, Mr.
George Watson, a silversmith and jeweller in Norton-folgate, was summoned for refusing to deliver up a gold neck chain, the property of a lady named Mitchell, whose husband is superintendent of works at Grimsby. The lady slated that she arrived in London about a fortnight ago, and put up temporarily at a railway coffee-bouse near the terminus of the Eastern Counties Railway, the landlady of which she asked to recommend her to some respectable tradesman, who would undertake the alteration of some of her jewellery that was out of repair. The landlady spoke of the defendant, whose shop was close to her house, and on going there she saw bis shopman, named Reid, who at the time she supposed to be defendant, to whom she showed her neck chain, which lie asked her to leave, and it should be properly repaired by the next day. On calling at the time appointed she saw Miss Watson, defendant's cousin, who nul complainant was mistaken, as she knew nothing whatever of the chain, and she had beiier call again, which she did the succeeding day. She then suw Kcid aaiu, who denied all recollection of any such transaction, and declared thnt no chain bad beeu left there, rihe then went outside the door, where the defendant's name, Wat-sou, lute Alderman," was inscribed.
She perfects recollected seeing the same name there when she left the gold chain, ami had a distinct recollection oflteiiPs features, as they were of a peculiar character, and cuuld pusitively swear he was the same man she had entrusted her property to. when she first showed him the chain, she also showed him her finger ring that was partially out of repair, which he said would come to 8s. Gd. but, thinking that exorbitant, she did not lcu it, but took it to another jeweller's in Uishupsgate-street, who repaired it for Is. Mrs.
lildrcd, the coffee-house keeper, corroborated the lady's statement as to recommending her tu defendant's shop, where she had frequent dealings and on being told by the lady of the possession of the chum being denied, she went herself to who again denied all recolleetiun of tlie matter but on her showing him the damaged ring, wliich had subsequently been rcpaireil. and asking him if he hud ever before seen it, he inspected it closely, und.mude the remurk tliut he should have mended it in a more perfect maimer himself, aj he intended to take the stones nut, and in that case it would hut certainly cost 8s. lid. On hearing this observation, Miss Watson, who was -standing by, exclaimed, "Why, 1 thought you said on Saturday tliut you had not seen ft before upon which Reid, who appeared to have noticed ii, oib-red to go round to the jewellers in the neighbourhood to endeavour to recover the iieikMiuiu, and said if he was successful he would forward it to her. A clerk iiom Messrs.
Davies ollice, the solicitors fur the lady, proved a comersation he had had with Iteid subsequent to the present proceedings being begun, hen lie offered four guineas as a compensation for the chain, which he then gave the lady the option of selecting any gold chain fi om the window marked at less price than flt5. The solicitor for the defence, although he entirely acquitted the lady of attempting fraud on his client, said he was instructed tn give a positive denial tu the charge, hich hud arisen from mistake of the lady, a stranger in town, having left her proper!) at another shop, of which she lind forgotten the name. He then called the shopman, who said he had lived seven years with defendant's predecessor, and with defendant ever since he had taken the business. He hail no recollection whatever of the ladv bringing the chain, or even seeing her before she came to demand it; anil with regard to the conversation with Mis. Eldred, his remark simply was that for the ring to be properly repaired, the stones limit lie taken out, the charge for which would have been what she stated.
Kmilv Watson, defendant's cousin, said she attended the shop, as usual, the whole'of Thursday, when the lady said she left the chain, except hile at dinner, when she could see into the shop through the glass-door, and she was positive the lady hud not called on that day. Mr. Hammell entirely exonerated the defendant from nny per- sonui limine in tne matter but tue eviueucc Had conclusively proven tu ms mind that the chain had been left ut the shuj), that he felt bound to order him to restore it or pay its value, estimated nt tt, and also, as the lady had been kept in town at great inconvenience nud expense, he awarded'her an ad- Ai.leceo Death by Violence. At the Marylebone court, on Tuesday, George Fox, in the emplov of Mr. Rackstraw, a fishmonger, in Upper Berkeley-street, was charged before Mr.
Broughton with having caused the death of George Gillham, a stableman in the service of the Hon. Robert Burke. Mr. Woolfe appeared for the prisoner. A great deal of evidence was gone into, and it tended to show that Oil the previous morning, between eleven and twelve o'clock, a dog belonging to deceased, laid hold of the pri-oner's trowscrs, who expressed himself with warmth with respect to what had taken place, and some blows between the parties ensued There weic three or lour rounds of fair stand-up fighting, mid in the last round deceoed fell with his head upon the pavement.
He. however, was able to walk home, but three or four hours afterwards he lied from the the iujurv he had received. Mr. Woolfe cross-examined the witnesses, and called lii -lilv-rcsiectable persons to prove that the accused was a mild and inoffensive man he was irritated at the dog snappuignnd growling at him, and hence hud arisen the contest which hud ended in so lamentable a way. Broughton, after carefully rev levving the whole of the evidence, came to the conclusion that it was his duty to commit the prisoner for manslaughter, and remanded him to next.
The prisoner was admitted to bail for Ins being forthcoming on the day named. Charge of Sacrilege. At the Marylebone court, on Tuesday, three voung urchins named Runbell, Wright, and Bolton, the eldest of whom" was not more than ten vears of age, were charged with having broken into the church of St. Stephen the Martyr, Avenue-road, St. John's Wood, and stolen silver and copper moneys from a hox which they had wrenched from the porch.
It appeared that the discovery of the entry was made bv Brand, lft9 who observing that a pane of glass had been taken out of one of the windows of the church, sufficiently large to udmit of the introduction of lwy, he made communication of the fact to Jlr. Nightingale, the clerk, and on both going over the sacred edifice thev found t-5 of the church doors open, and inn water closet connected with the'buildiiiB discovered the box, from which the whole of the contents, about had been taken The prisoners were ultimately taken into custody by Uranil, who from inuniries he had made felt satisfied that they were the suiltv partie.

ATTEM1T TO MURDER A FEMALE.
An extraordinary circ*mstance, which had nearly been attended with loss of life, occurred on Friday evening, the 15th ar the house of Air. Grindall. the Bell, in Suffolk-street, Birmingham. It appears that for the last three venrsa young man, nnincd Abraham Lee, sou of Mrs. Lee.
coal dealer. Essingtbn-street. had been in the habit of frequenting the Bell, and appeared desirous of being considered a suitor to Miss Ellen Grindall, daughter of the landlord. Leo, however, never received any attention from the girl or her family to justify htm hi believing that IieWa? recognised in the manner he desired. He visited the house a3 an ordinary rnstomer, and it is supposed hecame jealous of a yotinz man, named John Scott, who also frequented the Hell.
This feeling, however, he concealed, never once intimating to Miss Grindall or anv nf her friends his dissatisfaction. On Friday evening, the 15th about eight o'clock, whilst Mr. Grindall was at the workhouse, attending a meeting of the guardians, Lee. accompanied by a young man, named Kingston, went to the house, and their hands being dirty thev proceeded to the brewbouse to wash them, and called for a pint of ale', with wliirh they were supplied. Whilst in the net of washing their hands Sirs.

Miss Gnnibill giMiil-biimuiiredly intimated to bee and his companion that they Ehnum leave the brewhouse, as she wanted to finish her work hut she had 110 suo done so than Lee took a pistol from his pocket, and this being observed bv the uirl she instantly put up her left arm in defence. Lee tired the pistol, which was heavily loaded with shot, anil a portion of the contents (o'ki in the linn, chest, and neck, about 15 shots taking effect. fell upon floor, srreaminir, and bleeding profusely. rs.
Grindall hastened to the brew-huiisc Kingston immediately seized Lee, who made considerable resistance a police nllicrrwas called in, Lee was taken into custody, and on searching liim another pistol, loaded to the nurzzle, was found in his possession. He was taken to the police station, and the wounded girl being conveyed to bed, medical assistance was speedilv obtained, ami many of the shots were extracted. iu Se.timlnv morning, the lilth the prisoner was brought up liefure J. it. Davies, M.U., and Mr.
William Willis at the public oflice, when Inspector (ilnssop charged him with the above offence, and added that Miss tirindall was unable to attend it would therefore be necessary to have the prisoner remanded until her medical attendant would allow her to appear. The prisoner, wliu declined making any statement, was then remanded. The woniuled girl is declared to be out of daiiKer, and will no doubt be able very soon to appear against the prisoner. We understand that l.ce has stated that the contents of the second pistol were intended for himself. Hi iMii.ic.i.
