Ir is impossible not to admire the rare practical energy, intelligence, and 'Ka-denial displayed by Miss Rca in forwarding the work of female emigration, to which she has devoted herself. This work, if wisely organized end well conducted, is one which promises to be of essential service not only to large classes of onr over-worked and ill paid countrywomen, but, what is equally important, to the colonies themselves. Yet the task is one of such delicacy, and surrounded by so many peculiar difficulties, that success can only be se cured by a rare union of zeal and judgment, enthusium and discretion--qualities not often found in combination. Some well-meant but ill conducted schemes of female emigration have so far miscarried as to produce in some of the colonies a temporary prejudice against efforts of the kind, . . and the influence of this rejudice is still apparent in some of the colonial criticisms of Miss RYE'S effort. Female emigration, to be really useful, must of course be founded on &practical knowledge of what the colonists actually want. To send out deli cate but highly accomplished women, or giddy, thoughtless, pleasure-loving girls, is useless, or worse than useless. But, even as the most pre judiced of Miss RYE'S colonial critics admit, there is abundant room in the colonies for young women of solid acquirements and good sense, who can work with their hands as well as their heads, and, in general, for intelligent girls of industrious habits and good principles, who are able and willing to work for their living. These are the classes, and the only classes, which Mies Rys has encouraged and assisted to emigrate, and the assistance offered has been of the most thorough-going and practical kind. Before sending any young women out either as governesses or servants, Miss RYE put herself in direct commu nication with some of the chief people of the colo nial towns to which they were sent, and in this way provided for them accommodation and em ployment on their arrival. The effort was attended with an unexpected amount of success, but it was made on a comparatively small scale. In order to enlarge the area and increase the useful ness of the work, Miss RYE determined last autumn to go to the colonies and ascertain for herself their real condition and actual require ments. This brave and devoted English lady accordingly set out, with a large number of female emigrants under ker care, went heroically through the cares and privations, the labours and anxieties of a four months' passage in an emigrant ship, and is now actively engaged on the other side of the globe, not only in providing for the com panions of her voyage, but in securing a proper reception, and preparing decent homes for those of her countrywomen who may follow. It is satisfactory to find from her recent letter to a contemporary that Miss RYE has already suc ceeded in the primary object of her visit to Otago—the settlement of her emigrants. " I " have now," she says, " the pleasure of ■ Cn K " that, with the exception of about three or four " servants (who will probably be placed in a few " days), all my girls and governesses have found " suitable employment—the latter at salaries "of from 601. to 401., the former at wages of " from 401. to 201. per annum. My respond " bilities having thus so happily terminated, I shall " endeavour to give some idea of the city in which "my young charges have settled. Of this city, Dunedin, the capital of Otago, Miss RYE gives, on the whole, a favourable account. It has risen in wealth and importance with extraordinary rapidity during the last eighteen months, and is now • very prosperous and flourishing place, with " two daily " and two weekly papers, three good banks, five " large places of worship, besides three or four " small Jewish synagogues." The town has, in deed, quadrupled within the last year and a half, though it still retains traces of a settlement, nearly all the houses being built of wood, and half the temporary population living in tents. Both food and lodging are dear, meat being fourteen pence a pound, and the rent of two small rooms from twenty to thirty shillings a week. On the other hand, wages are correspondingly high, some " men getting 11. a day, and I:is. being an ordi " nary wage." The place is very healthy, and the soil favourable for the growth of English fruits and vegetables, especially potatoes. The prospects of the place are, according to Miss RY I, very good, and she believes it affords a good field for female emigration. " Emigration ought never to cease " to this place, for its capabilities are very great ; " indeed, if another ship-load of servants and " governesses of my own selection were coming " out next week I would undertake to place " them all within a month of their landing. Ido " not say that they, any more than all those who TELE EXPRESS, - accompanied me, would be satisfied (sa some die- • " count for discontent and disappointment must " always be allowed) ; but I am sure they could " all be placed safely, and find themselves at the " end of six months in a far better position than " they could ever hope to occupy at home." The great drawback, however, to this, or any other form of female emigration at present, is to be found in the state of the Immigration Barracks at Dunedin, of which Miss Rye speaks in very strong terms. Her condemnation is amply jus tified by the facts specified, which sufficiently prove that the management of this place is a scandal to the local Government. It is a large wooden building, erected some years ago for gene ral emigrants, chiefly families continually arriving from Scotland, and recently set apart for female emigrants without being in the least fitted for their reception. There is accordingly neither decent accommodation nor anything like efficient supervi- 1 sion. "The girls are frequently left to themselves " for hours together, the matron continually sleep " Mg from home; there is not the slightest sccom " modation for the girls to 'tidy-up' (i.e., to wash " clothe.' after a four months' voyage), nor can " they get water to drink without going to some " public-house down street, and, to complete the " picture, there is neither bench at which the poor " girls can sit, nor table, however rude, upon " which they can place their food. There is per " feet liberty of ingress and egress at all hours, " and everyone is allowed to do exactly what " seems beat in her own eyes. A more demo " ralizing school for undecided characters could " not possibly be imagined, and a more discre " ditable place does not exist under the sun." Such a state of things is undoubtedly a disgrace t, the Government of the place ; and to aggravate the evils of this comfortless and neglected public lodging, the Government had recently "crammed " the Otago constabulary, a body of mounted " police from Melbourne," into the same building, the men's and women's wings opening into each other without any efficient division between them. Of course Miss RYE was able to look after her own emigrants, and secure everything necemary for their comfort and protection ; but numbers of women, for whose presence at Dunedin the local Government is responsible, are left exposed to all the evils and dangers incident to this wretched barrack life. Owing to the large influx of people from Melbourne and other Australian ports during the last twelve months, there has been a partial cessation of general emigration, single women alone being required from the home country. "So urgent has been " the demand for their services," says Miss RYE, " that orders have been sent from this Govern " ment to their agents in Edinburgh and London "to send out 100 single women a month, the " understanding at home being that a proper place " was provided for them after landing." Numbers of girls were accordingly sent out by Government agents, and, on their arrival, left to their own de vices in this barrack. Miss RYE is doing a public' service in directing attention to this terrible abode, and holding up the grievous neglect of the local Government to indignant rebuke. Nothing can be clearer than that it is the first and most im perative duty of the Government to provide effi-1 ciently for the temporary accommodation, and therefore, of course, for the comfort and protec tion, of the women they induce to emigrate The Otago Times insists quite as strongly as Miss RYE on this duty, reproaching the Govern ment for its neglect, and calling on it to provide immediately a proper building, properly situated, for the reception of female emigrants. We may hope, therefore, that the existing management will not survive Miss RYE'S pointed exposure and strong local efforts. fbe Court. BiLMORLL, Joss 2.

The Archbishop of Warsaw has just addressed to Alexander 11. a letter, iu which he asks the Czar to mike Poland an independent nation, united to Russia. " Time," he says, "presses ; every day lost widens the gulf between the throne and the nation." The Bresktu Gazette has the subjoined : It is well known that a Russian general from the govern ment of Haliach went on the 24th tilt. to Wrzesnia to con fer with the Prussian General Warder. We have just heard from Warsaw that the meeting took place by order of the Grand Duke, for the purpose of informing the Prus sian chief of the district of Wrzesnia of the military opera tions of the Russian troops which were about to very shortly take place. These operations will consist in driving back the insurgents as much as possible on Warsaw, in order to be able to attack them simulta neously on several points. General Berg intends to change his tactics. He will no longer scatter his troops, but concentrate them in the most important towns and round the capital, in order to be able to march a larger num ber of men at the same time. The opinion is that the in eurgents on their side wish to abandon the system of gue rilla warfare, and march in a body on Warsaw. A plan of campaign which proves that the city is ready to aid the projects of the insurgents has fallen into the hands of the Russians. This plan informs us that at the moment of the attack on Warsaw by the insurgents an insurrection was to break out iu the capital itself, so that the Russians would be taken between two fires. ----- A Warsaw letter states that in all probability the University of Warsaw will bo closed before the end of the scholastic year, owing to the small num ber of students. Out of 727 entered at the com mencement of the current half-year, 317 only re main. The others have successively joined the insurgents, and 102 of them have already fallen in the field. 1863. THE ANNIVERSARY OP THE CHARITY CHILDREN AT ST. PAUL'S.-( THIS DAY.) The 81st anniversary gathering of the charity children at St Paul's Cathedral took place thin afternoon. The practice of bringing the children together at one of the City churches (for their meetings were formerly held in turn at St. Andrew's, St Sepulchre's, and Christ Church, Minato-street), commenced in 1701, six years after cha rity schools were first established. Other opportunities were, however, taken to imprees the public with ado, sense of the value of the institution. In 1713 the children belong ing to the leveed schools were assembled in the Artillery. gronod,where the Duke lYAnmont, the French Ambamador, and other distinguished persons, attended to inspect them. And, on the authority of Malcolm, we learn that on the Thanksgiving Day in the same year (1713) four thou sand of these youths were seated upon elevated benches which extended six hundred feet in the Strand, where they saluted the two house. of parliament and the great officers of state with hymns sung in unison. In 1782, the Society of Patrons was granted the use of the cathedral (annually) for the reception of the children " with their masters, matrons, and guardians." The removal to St. P►ul's was attended with great success On the 23rd of April, 1789, the king and queen were present, and after wards handed over 1,C30/. to the society. This morning the meeting was numerously attended, and the day being re markably fine the progress of the various schools to the cathedral had a pretty effect. The sermon was preached by the Right Hon. and Moat Rev. the Lord Archbishop of York. THE RESULTS OF THE LATE EXHIBITION. At the meeting of the Society of Arts last evening, his Royal Highnew the Duke of CAMBRIDGE in the chair, Mr. William Hawes read an interesting paper "On the results of the International Exhibition.' The author, after alluding to two former papers which be had read upon this Exhibition, the tint in Is6l, when their lamented president of the society, the Prince Consort, presided, and a second in 11462, when Earl Granville, chairman of the com mission, presided, said that his present object was to en deavour to point out the results it bad produced, and which it will probably produce, es well on future exhibitions ea upon the future progress of industry and art. He men tioned that there had been en incresne of more than 150 per cent. in the number of foreign exhibitors in 1862 over those in 1851, a remarkable proof of the effect of the former Exhibition in promotion intercourse between nations. . • He quoted from M. Michel Chevalier and others to show bow much more cordial was the feeling of foreign exhibitors and visitors now than it had been in 18.51. Cue important effect of the three great International Exhibitions bad been to promote the abolition of restrictive commercial laws, which seemed now to have almost received their death-blow in Europe. The author referred at considerable length to tbe Nine Art department of the Exhibition, pointing out ita deficiencies, as well as indicating ita merits. He then briefly reviewed the jury reports, pointing oat in what chusee the most remarkable progress had been made, and drawing attention to the countries from which it seemed reasonable to expect much in future. He elle cially alluded to the wonderful progress which the interval, between our two great Exhiliitions bad produced in our colonies, many of which were almost unrepresented in 1851, while in 1862 they disulayed most valuable collections. He then briefly discussed the constitution of the Commission of 1862—its expenditure and receipts ; the questions as to the appointment of juries", and the system of awards of prizes ; and the circumstances which must guide um in deter mining when another Exhibition shall be held. In rd.", - mice to the award of pray, he gave a brief resume of the nature of the replies given by exhibitors, jurors, arid others to the queries issued by the &Met/ of Arts on this subject, the majority being decidedly in favour of prizes being awarded in future exhibitions. He pointed out the importance of not attempting to bold international exhibitions at too short intervals, for that if we expect foreigners to eontribute as they have hitherto done to the magnificence and usefulness of our exhibitions, we must be prepared, as we did in 1855, to take a propot , . . . . tiooate interest in theirs, and this not only on the ground of the reciprocal interchange of civilities between nations, but on national and iuterested grounds. fo conclusiou, the author said be hoped that the views he bad laid before the convince them that the International A meeting is to be held at the London Tavern soc s iety of w0u1d 1462 had meet thoroughl fulfilled the duty assigned tomorrow, at which Sir James Duke will preside, to pro ttleit.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDERT.) PARIS, WIDiLDAT EvENIIa. The electoral news from the departments is even better than yesterday. I was under the mark when I said there would be finally an opposition of 25 or 30. The Moniteur this morning grossly deceives the public when it says that out of 268 returns already known 252 are those of government candi dates. This untruth, which may be refuted from the columns of the same number of the Mouiteetr, will have been promulgated throughout Europe by telegraph, but its triumph will be short-lived. In addition to the 18 opposition members whose names I gave yesterday there are now definitively elected M. de Grouchy in the Loiret, the Duke de Marmier and the Marquis d'Audelarre in the Haute Saone, MM. Pinard and Martel in the Pas de Calais, and M. de Chambrun in the Lozibre. Here are half a dozen to be added to the 18, which bring the oppo sition deputies already elected up to the figure of 24 instead of 16, as the Monitear pretends. The disgraceful subterfuge which the government jour nals have orders to resort to in order to disguise their defeat is to call a great many of the men that the executive power has been opposing with all its might not opposition, but non-official candidates. Why, the constant doctrine of the prefects has been throughout the contest that every candidate not nominated by the government was an enemy. In every one of the cases last above mentioned the prefect did his very utmost to pre vent the return. The Marquis d'Andelarre in particular has been hunted about the department like a wolf, and has a prosecution in the Cor rectional Police-court hanging over his head. So much for the lifoniteer's nice distinctions. There are no less than ten cases of ballotage, in almost all of which the opposition candidates will get in. One of these is in the Rhone, where M. Jules Favre is at the bead of the poll ; and as he will elect to sit for Paris, the other liberal candi date, M. Barrier, will surely be elected. A most important piece of news is that M. Ravin is returned for the Manche as well as for Paris. He would beat serve the liberal cause by electing to sit for the Manche, and making way for M. Dufaure or M. Laboulays in Paris. I say this because the Manche is the least certain of the two seats. The liberal triumph in Paris is enhanced by the large number of voters who took part in the elec tions. In 1857 the voters for the government can didates in the different sections numbered 110,534, while those for the opposition were 07,753. In 1863 the government musters only 82,107, and the votes for the nine opposition candi dates are upwards of 150,000. These figures speak volumes as to the revival of public opinion. In the provinces, also, it is to be observed that the minorities against the government can didates who have succeeded are very much larger than they were, and in several instances the struggle was very severe. The Bourse still sets at defiant* M. Ilaussmann's prophesies of a panic. The Route Las risen 15c. and 20c., Mobilier 30fr., and all the other securities are very firm. The Daily Noes is seized. THE BRAZILIAN LzoArzox.—His Excellency the Commander de Carvalho Moreira and family, and the personnel of the legation, will leave the Brazilian legation to-day for the continent. A bill has passed the Canadian legislature to prevent the execution of the death penalty in public by a vete of 61 to N. THE ALLEGED MURDER AND ROBBERY AT i,iiiiHousz. INQUEST.—(THIS DAY). This morning Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy-coroner, resumed , at the King and Queen Tavern, Three-colt-street, Limehowie, the investigation into the cir cumstances of the alleged murder and robbery of Noah Farnsworth, an engineers' fitter. After bearing two or three witness', the Coroner summed up. He said it was now clear that the police did not refine to aid the deceased when he was attacked. Tbeevideoce was by no means satisfactory that deceased had been knocked down and stows thrown at him, for the two witnesses were admit tedly drunk. It would be certainly most important that the men in the cart should be got at. If the evidence of the de ceased's companions wu to be believed, deceased was put into the cart fully dreamed to be taken home, but instead of that be was apparently stripped of everything, and was left on the mai at Hackoey Wick the next day. The jury returned the following verdict, " That deceased died from the mortal effects of inflammation of the brain, caused by a fall or by a blow received from some person or persona unknown, and that at the time that deceased met with the said injury from a fat or received the aid blow he was under the influence of drink." The jury also re• quested that the Coroner would write to the Secre tary of State to suggest the propriety of offering a re ward for the discovery of the men into whoa cart the de ceased was put, es it was at all events evident that deceased had been subjected to a robbery, if not to violence.

Mr. Caird will to-morrow, on the order of the day for going into committee of supply, call attention to the supply of cotton, and move for a committee to inquire whether any further measures an be taken, within the legitimate functions of the Indian government, for increasing the supply of cotton from that country. In a convocation held on Tuesday at Oxford, it was agreed, after • division, to affix the University seal to a petition to parliament spinet Mr. Bouverie's " Bill to repeal certain portions of the Act of Uniformity." The number of votes given in favour of the petition was 182 ; against it, 51 ; majority, 131. There was • considerable attendance of non-residents. Mr. Reed, the new chief constructor of the navy, yesterday paid an official visit to Woolwich Dockyard, of which the authorities had been previously apprised by the Board of Admiralty. Mr. Reed was first conducted over the woe-eased ship Caledonia, and afterwards inspected the Repulse, Wolverine, Dartmouth, and the other ships about to be converted under the new system. He also inspected the dockyard school., with the intention of establishing • school of naval architecture in the dockyard. Mr. Reed renews his visit of inspection to the dockyard this morning. With the view of giving an opportunity to the Turks of visiting Europe and acquiring such knowledge and information as may be advantageously employed towards the progress of their own country, an excursion trip ((rain de plaiair) is being organised at Constantinople, and is re ceiving the support of the government. The first expedi tion is to consist of 150 or 200 young Mussulmans, including, it is said, the eons of some of the leading statesmen and pathos. M. Misierie is charged with the arrangements of the voyage, and a staff of interpreters and emplop's who have some knowledge of Europe ia to be attached to the expedition. The programme includes a visit to the French capital, via the Mediterranean and Marseilles ; from thence to England, and back again, by way of Germany, Vienna, and the Danube, to Constantinople. The charge made, comprising travelling expenses, subsistence, and sightseeing, is to be 701. NATIONAL SOCIETY'S SenooLs.—The 52nd annual general meeting of the members and supporters of the National Society for promoting the education of the poor in the principles of the Established Church was held yesterday afternoon in Willis's Rooms. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury occupied the chair. The report was read. It stated that the income of the society for the past year from subscriptions, donations, and church collections, had amounted to 11,1001. In the lost report it lied been stated that the proportion of school building cases in which no assistance had been received from the Committee of Council was larger than in the preceding year, and the committee had to report that this year's return showed a still further increase in the number of new school buildings in aid of which grants had not been made from the Council-office, but which had been aided by the society. The committee hoped that public attention might be more and more directed to the impedi menta placed in the way of church education, whereby mem bers of the church of England who desired build schools far the religious, education of their poorer brethren were de prived of their just share of the money voted by parliament for that purpose. They advised the promotes' of church schools not to be deterred from applying for building grant.. although fully determined not to accept such grants if the insertion of the conscience clause was insisted on. The approval of the committee had been asked this year to a school trust deed, in which • clause was inserted that "the church catechism shou4l be taught to all the children." The committee, although they regretted that conditions more definite than the terms of union should have been proposed, had come to the resolution that they ought nut to withhold payment of the grant. The most rev. chairman thought the report had shown that the society was in a prosperous condition on the whole. The Rev. Mr. Mayow having stated that they could not reject or alter the report. moved, "That • school, the founder or founders of which make provision in the trust deed that the school shall be for ever for children, all of whom are to be taught and instructed in the catechism of the Established Church, is not on this account excluded by the terms of union from union with the National Society for promoting the education of the poor in the principles of the Established Church." Canon Trevor 'acceded the reso lution, which was opposed by Mr. Puller, and carried by • considerable majority, after • long discussion. The Hoe. sod Rev. A. Bogdan, who spoke from the body of the room, expressed • wish that efforts should be made in order that schools in agricultural districts might not be inspected at a time when the services of • large proportion of the children were required in the fields. After a vote of thanks to the chairman, the proasedior closed with the benediction. The Chili, from Otago, New Zealand, has ar rived off Penance, after a voyage of 100 days. All well. She brings 30,000 ounces of gold, and a cargo of 2,000 balsa of wool LAW IIiTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Sittint n n , Baaco. —(Before the Lord Chief Justice Cock. end Justices Wightrean and Blackburn.) THE METROPOLITAN BOARD OP . WORKS V. THE PARISH OP ACTON. In this case • rule had bean obtained, calling upon the justices to issue a warrant for the amount of rate ordered to be levied by the Brian' of Works on the out lying parish of Acton. The question was as to the terms of the precept. The rate was required for special application to the liquidation of charges under the old system of the Commissioners of Sewers. Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Holl, showed cause against the rule ; Mr. Raymond supported it. After hearing the arguments of the learned counsel, The coed held that the rule must be discharged. The act kept alive and made provision for discharging the lia bilities of the old commissioners, distinguished, however, from the rates to be levied for defraying the expense' of the execution of the act under which the Board of Works was created. The sum required for the two purposes was, however, to be raised in the same manner. It was but right that the ratepayers should know to what purposes the monies to be raised were to be applied, and that consequently there should be two distinct rates. Much confusion would arise were the court to hold otherwise and that the two migtt be united in one rate. The magistrate had done right in saying that the rate was bad on the face of it end refusing to issue his warrant. Rule discharged. EXPARTE MART FISHES Mr. L Temple applied for • rule calling on an attorney t o answer the matter of an affidavit. The circumstances were somewhat peculiar. The applicant and her husband were apprehended for felony in Liverpool, and they sent for the attorney in question to defend them. They paid him two guineas for his services, and also a like sum. When they came up oo remand they paid him another two guineas. They were, however, committed, tried and convicted, and the husband was sentenced to three years' penal servitude, and the woman to three months' imprisonment. The wife had served her time, and the husband was now undergoing his sentence. When they were taken into custody they had • large amount of property,whieh was admitted tobe no part of any felony, consisting of jewellery, Sic., and they gave authority to the police to head the property over to the attorney to hold it for them. On the woman's release from custody she applied to the attorney for the property and Ws bill of costs, but he declined to comply with that request Chief Justice said that the husband and wife having been convicted of felony, the property belooged to the crown. Mr. L. Temple said the n attorney claimed the property, because there was a dispute between the corpora tion of Liverpool and the duchy of Lino's ter with respect to the property of felon.. Neither party claimed such property, in coosequence of that dispute. The applicant had beard that the attorney nowclaimed to hold the property by orderof the corporation, but no such excuse was set up when the application was first made to him. The Lord Chief Justice said it was necessary the court should know what answer the attorney had to make io the case, and granted a rule. Rule granted accordingly. eXPARTE SMITH V. ELT. Mr. J. Brown moved fora rule on behalf of Mr. Smith fee • rule calling upon Mr. Thomas Robert Elt to show came why. • quo warrant* should not Mane to show by what authority he claimed to exercise the office of committeeman of the Licensed Victuallers' Society, who were the governors under the charter. The object of the society wu the relief of distreseed members, and the relatives of deceased members, and also for the education and maintenance of their children. The court said the society was purely of an eleemceynary character, and as there wu nothing of a public. or a quaai public character about it, the court could not interfere. Rule refused. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) GLEN R. BORGE4B AND COVER-PART HEARD. This morning the plaintiff's case wan resumed and con cluded. Mr. Serjeant Shee (with him Dr Deane, Q. and Dr. Wambey) then addressed the court on the gross improba bait), of the plaintiff's case, and called several witneseas who had been on the most intimate terms with Mr. Plulp, the testator, but who had never heard of the later disposi tion of his property.

The statement of accounts show, a large amount of indebted ness, upwards of 11,000/., without a figure of any kind on the other side, not even a bad debt. The largest creditor is Count de Milan, of l'aris, 4,0110/.. in reference to which debt the bankrupt states :—" He holds my acceptances in blank to that amount, which were given to him by the firm of Aube and Son, to be used when required in I the business of the 'phosphate de chard,' and not to be tuied unless an equivalent in goods was delivered at the manu factory." Mons. Luberge, furniture dealer of Paris, is re turned as a creditor for 2.000/., on which the bankrupt re marks, "Thu person holds my acceptance to that amouot which he is to return on payment of 2001." An amount of 2.0001. is retuned as liabilities, on accommodation bills, which the bankrupt states to be the total of his acceptances given for the accommodation of the firm of Aube and Son, of which firm he was one of the part ners, and which carried on business as manufacturers of phosphate of lime ; MK of the bills had been paid away for materials, and the remainder he believed to be still in the hands of Aube and Son.

Cooke opposed for Messrs. Fuller and Co., coach-makers, of Bath ; Mr. Sargood supported. Mr. Cooke asked for a radii account for the hot 13 months, so that the creditors might koow what the bank rupt had done with the money he had received. Mr. Sargood produced a letter from Mr. Fuller. dated only the previous day, which led him to doubt whether Mr. Cooke had authority to appear. Ho bad reason to believe that Mr. Cooke appeared for the wife of the bankrupt, against whom he bad instituted it suit for divorce. Mr. Cooke produced it letter of Mats uctions from Mears. Payne, Bath, solicitors of Messrs. Fuller. Thu bankrupt was examined. He stated that he was in debted to Messrs. Fuller for two carriages, which be hired with the option of purchase at the cud of the yea. The carriages were still in his emersion ; he was ready to return them, whenever Mr. Fuller liked, or give them up to the official soignee, whichever the law might require. He saw lire Fuller, seen.. on Saturday last, at the Prince's Club. Hans-plan. hid not beliese that he wished to oppose under this bankruptcy, and doubted whether soy proper authority had been given to Mr. Calm to do so. He was proceeding against his wife in the Douro Court for a decree of nullity of marriage, and Mr. I role, who now appeared, was solicitor for his wife in those pro, eel. logs. Mr. Fuller told him that Mr. Cooke had written to him, requesting him to oppose, but he had declined to hive anything to say in the mustier. Ile told Mr. Fuller where the carriages were, and that he could Lave them. Mr. Sargood submitted that after this evidence lie. Cooke was bound to give proof on oath of his authority to appear. Mr. Cooke relied on the letter he had handed in, accom panied by the goof of Messrs. Fuller. The Commissioner-1 shall adjourn it generally. Mr. Sargood—But they have no right to ask for an sd journment. No one is instructed to do so. It is an unop posed case.
