Seduction.—In an action tried last week before the Circuit Court of New-York, Sarah Iuran versus William Dawes, for seduction of plaintiff's daughter, the jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, damages $9,000. Moderate enough, considering the nature and consequence of the aggravated crime of the defendant, in bursting through the ties of the most intimate friendship which he had professed for the family ; and with the heart of a demon and the face of an angel, deliberately destroying their happiness, carrying desolation into the sanctuary of peace and joy and hurrying a widowed mother to the solitude of the grave.
