IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COHMON&—WzroxiaDAy, Jets 1. WEIGHTS AND MEABLIEI2I BILL After our report left yesterday, Mr. COBDEN maid there were two questions before the house whith had been confounded together—the question of the decimal system and the question of the metrical system. As to the former he thought there was an unanimity of feeling ru favour of it, and that it should be preferred to all other modes of notation. Perhaps he ought to except the opinion of Lind Overstooe. but he (Mr. Cobden) had learnt that whenever be wee walking along the path of any great reform it would be better not to seek the countenance of Lord Overstone. (Hear, bear.) The evidence before the committee showed most coocluaively that upon every ground the decimal system would be preferable to every other. (Hear, hear.) Professor de Morgan had declared that boys at school would save half their times the 'lady of arithmetic. and his evidence wee supported by that of the Her. Mr. Barrett, Dr. Farr, and Mr. Edwin Chadwick. The right hoa. member for Oxfordshire and the hon. mem ber for Buckingham had spoken of the difficulty of transi tion. The question of transition most be dealt with by such • body as the Board of Trade, and it would be may in such matters as usesemeate to have tables of equiva lents. An actuary would put the matter of assessments in a parish right in ten minutes, and once done it would be done for ever. There wee not such difficulty in this as appeared at hist eight. A lady who went to Paris, and tourist • quantity of silk, bought it by the metre, which contained A. inches and a third • but in making her Weida. tiou as to the price else tempted it with the English yard ; but she soon became accustomed to it, and it was in evidence before the committee that English workmen going to Paris got habituated to the French system in a month, and one witness said it could be mastered in two &ea He appealed to his right bon. friend the President of the Bond of Trade to take up this matter, and as his name would be recorded in history in connexion with his successful efforts to free the press, so it might be recorded in coupe:ion with the establishment of the decimal and metrical system. He could get him plenty of petitions from boys at school who were desirous of seeing established a free trade in arithmetic. Mr. FERRAND observed that the small shopkeepers, who were very numerous, had what to them was a large sum invested in their weights and measures ; and if this were made • compulsory measure they ought to be com pensated for these weights and measure, which would be rendered useless. Mr. M. t;IBSON said his hon. friend the member for Rochdale had proposed to him a teak of no inconsiderable difficulty. and he did not feel very sanguine of being able to induce tho population of this country to conform, without peat reels tsnoe, to any greet change in their weight, and measures. Of course the thing could be done, but it was obvious that it ought to be undertaken in a cautious manner, and by 1110Cel1170 steps. He had not a word to say against the metric system. On the contrary, he thought it as good • system as could be devised. There were also peat advantages in the decimal system in all matters of account, but he contended that they could not make the decimal system the only mode of division which persons should be permitted to resort to under • penalty. The most obvious division was the binary division, the half, the quarter, and the eighth. He did not think they should pre vent a small shopkeeper from selling over the counter half • thing, or a quarter of a thing. He had no objection to a bill which should legalise and bream the use of a decimal division, but he should be sorry to see soy measure which should confine men exclusively to the decimal system. Uniformity they all agreed was most advisable. They had tried what they could do to enforce it in this country, and they bad now single units ; the unit of length, the yard, sod the unit of weight, the pound avoirdupois ; and the act of 6 and 6 William IV., chapter 63, imposed • penalty not exceeding st. on persons using any other weight and measure, and declared that contract, in any other weight and measure should be void. Why this law was not en forced he could not say, but he supposed it was because it was impossible to induce the people within any short period of time to mike say great change in the customary weights and measures. Thies changes must be brought about by degrees, and it was the duty of those who were in favour of the decimal and metric system to bring public opinion into a stele in which legislation could be receivLd for if they were to introduce each • change as that prop osed by this bill suddenly, it would meet with great resistance over the length and breadth of the land. He approved of the system, but the whole question was the practical difficulty of tran- SLUM. He could not agree to a compulsory bill, be cause be did not feel able, as • minister of theorem; to say that he saw kw way to the carrying oat of a compulsory enactment ; but if his hon. friend would with. draw this measure he would support a bill of • permissive claraeser. Mr. BAZLEY said he thought that many of the difficul- UM that were spoken of were imaginary. The decimal system was used to a certain extent in the customs and excise, and he did not think there would be near the diffi culty supposed in bringing it into gaueral use. The present system eutailed much useless labour. 'Mr. ROEBUCK wished to suggest whether it would not be best to pass the second reading of the bill and afterwards withdraw it, because then they would at treat have este 'Walled the principle. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was desirous of pointing out to the hon. and learned gentleman what was the view taken by the government of the principle of the bill—unhappily compulsion was the principle of the bill. (Hear, hear.) Compulsion was the vital portion of the measure. and not to be divided from it, and the government thriftier" could not offer it their support. Mr. A. HODGSON suggested that the hon. member in charge of this bill should alter the compulsory clauses and introduce permissive powers. If so, he for one would vote for the second reading, because he held a Woof opinion that the principle of the bill was correct. Mr. J. B. SMITH said the principle of the bill was the adoption of the metric system, and therefore it was quite competent, if the bill eau nada second time, for the Louse decide that it should he permissive. Mr. D. GRIFFITH appoved of the decimal, but not of the metric system. Colonel SYKES rid t h e majority of the nations of Europe had adopted the metric 'Totem. The bill waa not really compulsory, because it wetudnotoorne into operation for three years. Mr. W. E WART was willing to entertain the govern ment preimation if they would epee to go further, and mitinttin the principle of • metsie lie: by in • manner preparing the country for this peat c e.

Yesterday, both houses of convocation assem bled at Westminster for the despatch of business. The prelates comprising the upper house assembled in Queen Anne's 13ociety-office. The Archbishop of CANTDD. Dela presided. The Archbishop of Canterbury presented a petition from the clergy nod laity of the decimal board of the Norwich Diocesan Church Association of the Deentey of Breckles, to the diocese of Norwich, owing that Bishop Coleus° might be forbidden to preach in the respective dioceses of their lordships. It appeared further to the memo rialiste that it would be cruel in the extreme to permit Bishop Coleus° to exercise episcopal jurisdiction in the diocese of Nand, end they hoped that the house would de prive him of such authority. la the event of the laws of this realm not giving sufficient power for this purpose, they hoped that a change in the law so as to effect the end pro- posed would be brought about. The Archbishop of Can terbury also presented • petition from the dame, of Totnes, in the diocese of Exeter, expressive of strong disapproval of Bishop Oolenao's work. Similar petitions were presented from the rural deaaery of Flynipton and other places, and all, having been read by the registrar, were ordered to lie ou the table. The Very Rev. the Dean of Bristol, the prolocutor, brought up • report from • committee of the Lower House on the subject of • joint action between the provinces of Canterbury and York. The committee reported that the two convocations could not sit and vote together, but that they might appoint joint committees for the consideration of matters which might be brought before them. The Bishop of Oxford presented • petition signed by Chancellor Massinghead, Archdeacon Denison, Archdeacon Randall, Dr. Jobb, and others, ;T . .= that measures might be taken to support the views expressed in the recent episcopal synod in America for • closer inter communion with the orthodox branch of the Eastern church. He moved, " That his grace the president be requested to direct the Lower House to appoint • committee to commu nicate with the oommitte appointed at the recent synod of the bishops and clergy of the United States of America as to inter-communion with the Russo-Greek church, and to oommunicate the result to convocation at • future session." The Bishop of Chichester seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. Some discussion took place in reference to the proposed Bishopric of Cornwall, which resulted in the Bishop of Oxford moving an address to her Majeety, repremoting "that the wide extent of the diocese of Exeter, the great number of its parishes and clergy, and the large population of the °trusties of Devon and Cornwall lead us to believe that, should your Ma jesty see fit to erect the archdeacoury of Cornwall into a new see, it would confer an incalculable benefit on the church ; and praying for such steps as her Majesty may deem fit for the erection of such • we." Tnis address was adopted, and their lordships then adjourned. The deans, archdeacons, and proctors composing the Lower House of Convocation assembled in the Jerusalem Chamber, wader the presidency of the Very Rev. Dr. Gilbert Elliot, the prolocutor. The Rev. Prebeedary Ornmanney presented petitions from El of the clergy of the rural deanery of Chew Magna, and seven of the clergy of the deanery of Frome Selwood, Somersetthirs, against soy attempt to relax the rules of subscription sad conformity. The Rev. Canon Wordsworth, D.D., presented a petition from the Convocation Society, signed by Mr. Henry Hoare as chairman, which " prayed for some action towards a united convocation for England, in order to the harmo nious and united action of the clergy, for the union in counsel, and brotherly fellowship of the reverend order, and for the purpose of bringing their collective wisdom to bear on legislative measure ; and also asked the house to take steps towards restoring to the Irish church im mediate exercise of her synodical function', that the united church of Ragland end Ireland might form a united synod." The Rev. Henry Mackenzie presented a gravamen, nume- rously signed, against the recent educational minute. —After some conversation, the debate on Dr. Id•Caid's resolution of last session, " That it is not expedient to relax the rule of subscription to. the act of uniformity," was resumed (in accordance with the arrangement proposed by Sir George Prevoet) by the Venerable Archdeacon Sandford, who moved as an amendment " That the declaration required at ordination and induction to a taus is sufficient for all cler gymen." (Cheers.) The Rev. J. Branton, wishing to convince the opponents of the Act that it had been copal dared in all its bearings by that house, moved the following amendment, " That the prolocutor be requested to nomi nate a committee to consider the question of clerical sub scription, and whether there are grounds for considering the subscription burdensome to the clergy, sod whether it ought to he relaxed or modified, without endangering the defini tive faith of the Church of God." Archdeacon Sandford withdrew his amendment in favour of Mr. Bramstoo's, which was opposed by the Yen. Archdeacon Denison. After a very long discussion the home divided, when there were—For the amendment, 24 ; against, 14; majority, 10. The amendment was declared carried.— Af wit some further routine business the house adjourned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CARLISLE RACES.-WEDNEBDAY.

The annual general meeting of the Association for Promoting a Revision of the Prayer-book Was held yes terday *flamers at Willie's ROOMS; the preach:at, Lad EMT, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the pmceedings, commenced by recalling the circumstances under which the lam annual meeting was held. At that time, he said, the council frankly stated the discouragements under which they la boured, those discouragement. consisting chiedy in the violence and acrimony with which they had been generally attacked, misrepresentations of their actions and motives, and the want of sympathy and amalgams, even in quarters in which they had tliought:they might fairly look for them. They also referred to the open and strong opposition of the hierarchy of the church, which rendered It extremely diffi cult for a clergymen to take any part in the work, and to the obstacles to reform arising from the gagging Act of the reign of Charles IL, which required every clergyman to declare his unfeigned assent and con sent to everything contained in the Prayer-book. They could, however, point also to many encouraging cir cumatanom connected with this movement; and among them wen the fact that the Bishop of London—perhaps the most influential prelate on the episcopal bench—had de clared in the Home of Lords that in his opinion the time was come when the question of revision might be fairly en tertaised. ID a recent charge Archdeacon Hone, who ap peared to be in favour simply of a relaxation of the terms of subscription, said—" The advocate@ of reviaios do Dot appear to me to have deserved the morn and contempt which have been so liberally poured upon them," adding that re vision, unless it gave them a perfect Prayer-book, would Dot remove the oonacientiona difficulty on the part of the clergy in expressing their unfeigned assent and consent to every thing contained in the Prayer-book. He hoped that the favourable opinion of the archdeacon with regard to the association would 10011 be shared by the public at large. It wen impossible to engage in such a movement as that without exciting the prejudices of the clergy. He had him self been compared to Kin 3 Ahab and Guido Fawkes— (ltughter)—but he had the coaaolation of knowing that lift y of his brother peers, including four right rev. prelates, had not been shamed to vote with him on this question. (Cheers.) The emaciation was determined to persevere in its objects in a firm though conciliatory meaner, with the amistanee, so far as it could be obtained, of all who held the great doctrines of Christianity. The Sicanraar (the Rev. R. Bingham) then read the re- port, which narrated the proceedings of the society during the past yew. Mr. boar, M.P., in moving the adoption of the report and the appointment of the committee for the ensuing year, said the opponents of the society did not seem to understand the (utterance between repairing and impairing, between amending and destroying the church of England. He had certainly DO wish to injure the church by taking part in this movement ; his sole object was to make her more in &mordant* with the experience and with the require niesta of the time. The opposition of many of the clergy and the laity was not at ell safprisiog, Every one at fret disliked change. The poet mule a captive say: " So much • long communion blends, My very chains and 1 grew friends." In Iffre manner many of the clergy and laity hugged the chains which bound them to certain forma of expression. Yet all must admit that the Act of Uniformity was framed at • most inopportune period for passing • permanent meaaure, while the present time was well fitted for the work of revision, there being no excitement in the public mind, Lod nothing to interfere with the calm and proper consideration of the subject. As ' an attached member of the church of England he could wish some of his own soon to become clergymen ; but he certainly would not advise them to declare their unfeigned assent at d consent to every thi nglcontai lied in the Prayer-book. (Hear.) , He might say of the present state of things, that it did not exclude many who ought sot to be in the church, while it certainly kept out many whom he should be glad to see there. He believed that the more the question was dis• cussed the more the necessity for an alteration would be generally felt. (Cheers.) The Hon. and HOT. E. V. BLUR, in seconding the resolu tioe, said be appeared there because he valued and re verenced the Prayer-book ; the very este/lince of that book affording, in his opinion, the best reason for endeavouring to repair the casket which contained so much truth. (Hear, hear.) To meet the difficulties of the Prayer-book by resorting to a far-fetched explanation of particular expres sions was • source of great evil to the public at large ; it was in fact • canker-worn on the face of truth. (Hear, hear.) It was opposed to public morality, sod to that honesty of punier* which wee valued by all Englishmen. (Hear, hear.) As regarded the question of subseriptioo, he would ask at what period of his life was a roan supposed to form a mama judgment! (Hear, hear.) Wars experience and conviction to go for nothing in the cues of the clergy, while other aliases of society were allowed to act upon them By blindly resisting all efforts at improvement men only loosened the foundations of the church, and lessened her claims to the sympathy and support at the nese of the community. The resolution wu then put and carried. On the motion of the Rev. JOHN Darman, seconded by the Rev. Casa J. Gill!. the followiag resolution wu WINO to :—" That the progress which the cause of litur glee' revision and the relaxation of the Act of Uniformity is now making calls for deep thankfulnese to Almighty God, and ought to move every true friend of the church of Eng land to renewed efforts for the attainment of soda so much calculated to advance the beat interests at Christ's religion in those realms." On the motion of the Hey. SAMUEL lifirroN, seconded by Mr. Aux. MILLER, the following resolution was also passed :—" That the excessive stringency of the teat im posed by the act of lffin is injurious to the beat interests of the church of England, because it tends to deter many ex cellent men from entering her ministry, while it is con fessedly impossible for any one to take it except in such a restricted sense as appears to many minds like a dangerous tampering with solemn engagements. That the said test cannot be considered necessary to the security of the church, inasmuch as her very highest poste may be filled by men who have been called upon to take it, while patent facto plainly prove its powerlessness to ensure any approach to unity of opinion among those who use the prescribed ritual, and therefore it is the duty of parliament, by whose authority alone the test was imposed, to repeal it." On the motion of the gm. V. Wistrrza, seconded by the Rev. H. HIGHTON, thanks were voted to the chairman, and wits this acknowledgment the proceedings terminated. the fawn of the fallow deer and the calf of the red deer, by the more excitable acallmatists who surrounded the chair. As to the ostrich egg., of which we expected to partake in an omelette, the birds in Paris had ceased to lay ; but the Sopron quails were well up to time, and the • Poulete FEmancipation des Neves" were • triumphant success. This drolly-named dish we should explain r a bons-fide one, in which the fowls, • French kind of poultry, turn in the cooking from black to white ; the skin and bone being black, but the flesh delicately white. This dish was pre ' seated to the society by M. Pierre Pichot, of the Sem hi Imperials d'Amlimatisetion de la France. The red-deer hams were particularly fine in flavour, and tender • and the bear hams were also excellent, and fall of fat. The grams pro" were certainly not superior to our accustomed rounds and sirloins. There was only one novelty in the vegetables, and that was Chinese yams ; of these it is enough to ay that they were devoured somewhat surreptitiously, and, we presume, relished aoceedingly. It is • vegetable which is not uncommon in Guernsey and Jersey, and is ose of the most successfully introduced of all by the society. The arrowroot is another root cultivated to a profit in the Channel Islands, which, however, did not make its appearance in the shape of • pudding at this repeat. The wines of Hungary and Greece did not, we fancy,find much favour, they are of • very decidedly pungent style for our palate, neither can we say much for the Australian and Californian vintages, which we had the good i fortune to taste. It will be long before the old fashioned port and abeu t are laid aside for these lighter compounds, if we may j e from the wry faces and the unemptied bottles with sue wonderful names upon them. The great experiment of the evening ended, the speeches began ; and here we met with a disappointment in not having in the chair his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, who was to have presided, bat being invited to the entertain ment by the Duchess of Cambridge was obliged to resign his place to Mr. Herman Merivale, C. 8., Under Secretary of State for India. After the usual loyal torte, the Chairman proposed "The House of Commons and the members pre sent," to which Mr. Hemel Osborne, M.P., replied in an amusing speech, proteetiog against the conger eel soup and the non.appearaoce of the ostrich eggs, which, however, he altogether objected to receiving, when they bad to he laid in Paris. The olla podrida banquet of the society reminded him not inaptly of the House of Commons, and he thought there were some fine sp.-darns of the hybrid duck upon the Treasury benches. Mr. Orantley and Mr. Edward Wilson defended the soup of the Channel Islands, and the Chair man, in proposing the sumer of the society, made a good statement of the obje!ta they bad in view, concluding • with the toast of Our Travellers and Explorers," to which Center Spoke responded for himself and Captain Grant, who was also present. Mr. Water house Hawkins spoke to the toast of our colonies and dependencies, with reference more particularly to the great consumption of wool going on in this country, so much of which of the finest quality came from Australia, and was thus an instance of the importance of acclimatisa tion, as the sheep was not • native of Australia. Thus the second dinner of the society may be said to have been an im provement upon the first, and, considering the society has only been in existence three years, it shows very promising signs of vitality, the members numbering more than 135 per cent. upon the list of last year. The following were some of the principal persons who at tended the dinner:—Lord St. Amapa, hart of Breadalbene, Sir A. McArthur, Sir Charles Nicholson, the Marquis of C Conyngbam, Sir C . Scott, Captains Spoke and Grant, Hoe. G. Berkeley, Sir C. Smith, and Mr. Du Chsillu. NAVAL AND MILITARY. A DNIRLLTY, JULY 1. —APPOINTMENTS. —Pay muter R. Beadily, to be additional to the Britannia.

Keutish-town, for the porno.* of calling attention to the Working Men's Club and Institute, just formed for the districts of Camden•town, Kentish.town, and South Hamnetead. The chair was taken by Lord Ebury, who was supported on the platform by a , number of the clergy, gentry, and leading artisans of the tonality. His lordebip, in opening the meeting, addrewied the audience at some length, referring to the wonderful extension of the movement for the establishment of thew clubs, and to the way in which the clubs meet the special requirements of the industrial classes. A report of the action of the provisional committee was presented by H. Herber, Eel., and the Rev. Henry &illy (secretary of the Workiog Mau'. Club and institute Union) gave a stirring address, which wee frequently interrupted by the applause of those present. Amongst the other .peaken were the Rev. Edward White, M.A. ' the Rey. C. Lee, M.A.. the R ev . S. N unn , Mr. Noel, R. Buchan, EN., and Mr. Watkins. Resolutions in favour of the club were unanimously adopted, and with thanks to the noble chairman the meeting closed. The movement in this locality originated in consequence of the reports of the success of the Scarborough Club that appeared in April in several of the daily journals.

The anniversary dinner of this society was held at St. James's•hall last evening, and a large company of some 140 gentlemen, members of the society, and others interested in the promotion of the objects of the association, sat down toe banquet which was designed to illustrate in a manner peculiarly English the aim and purpose of the society. The room was very appropriately and characteris tically decorated with specimens of birds, with skins arid antlers of many kinds of deer suitable for food, and with almost every variety of the antelope. There were also some remarkably large leaves of a kind of rhaterb grown in the Channel Islands, and some hoe specimens of grasses and flags, which, we presume, were intended as samples of vegetables which might be utilized as food for cattle. The dinner, however, was evidently the practical argument upon which the society rested for enforcing the weight and im portance of its claims to the attention of the public, and the programme of the repast, which we subjoin, will give some idea of the extent to which acelimssisatioe may eelargeour cuisine, as the dishes and wines printed in italics are ex ceptional, and have been introduced into the menu by the society.

CHRIST'S HOSPlTAL. —Athletic sports were held at Christ's Hospital on Thursday, June 25. The boys were divided into four classes, according to age—Class 1, over Di years ; Liam 2, over 14 years ; (lass 3, over 12 years ; Class 4, under 12 years. Prizes were awarded for the fol lowing ;-1. High jump, a prize for each class. 2. Long jump, a prize for each class. 3. Long race, a prize for each class—Cbiss 1, one mile ; Class 2, two-thirds of a mile Class 3, half a mile ,• Class 4, quarter of a mile. 4. Vault ing the bar, a prize for each class. 5. Hurdle race—Class 1, oue prize ; Class 2 oue prize. 6. Stone gathering, one prize. 7. Posting the ball, two prizes. 8. Consolation race, 150 yards—Classes 2,3, 4, one prize. 9. Strangers' race, 300 yards. Thia is the first year that anything of the kind has been attempted at Christ's Hospital, and for a first attempt it was a decided success. The school owes a deep debt of gratitude to Messrs. Bowler, Back, Potter, and Laing, with whom the scheme origioated, and to the treasurer and the governors, for the kindness and liberality with which they forwarded the views of the above-mentiooed gentlemen. Of course the performance of the boys was in most cases below the average reached by schools where athletic sports have become an annual Midi. tution, and create almost as much emulation among the boys as the yearly tests in intellectual progress. There were, however, exceptions, which would have done credit to longer practice. But this does not bear upon the main point, viz., the advantage which must accrue to the school if the games become, as we trust they will, a permanent institution. For thus a gymnastic element will be intro- duced into the discipline of Christ's Hospital, which that great school needs more than say other, and which will have more influence in shaking off the real or supposed effects of their peculiar costume on the suppleness of the boys' limbs, their growth, &a, than any other available method.

Their lordships held aspecial sitting to-day for the pur pose of bearing the argument. in the following ease, misted by the common law judges. HUNT r. Bcxr. This was an appeal from an order of the Court of Chan , eery, restraining the appellant, Richard Hunt, from prose. i outing a suit against the respondent, him wife, Emily Mary Hunt, for the restitution of conjugal rights, on the ground that the institution of such • suit was a direct violation of a contract contained in a deed of separation executed by her. The parties were married in November, 1858, and some differences between them led to their separation ; and • deed was executed on 30th April, 1860, by which the husband covenanted, amoic other thiogs, to live separate and apart from the wife ; that he would not compel, or endeavour to compel her to cohabit or live with him by any legal proceeding, and freed from his power, command, will, restraint authority, and government, nor Minsk or use or offer any violence to her, or molest, annoy, harass, interrupt or disturb her in her way of living, or in her liberty or freedom of going to, or staying, or returning from such place or place* as she should think fit. The parties had since lived separately, but in April, 1661, the husband commenced • suit to the Divorce Court for the restitution of conjugal rights, and the wife haying put in the separation deed as a bar to the suit, the judge of the Divorce Conn rejected it as irrelevant to her defence. In November, 1861, a bill was filed for an injunction to restrain the husband from going on with the suit, but the blaster of the Rolls refused to make an order. On appeal to the Lord Chancellor the decision of the Neater of the Rolls was re versed, and an injunction !ranted. Hence the present appeal. The appellant's contention is, that it is not lawful for married persons to enter into any agreement for sew ration which shall have the effect of precluding either of them from afterwards landing oa their matn• monial rights, and that a court of equity cannot give any r ate r:42= w of a covena nt a tha h ert ad lias aaa in aa :61 Courts of Law and Divorce, and that the Court of Divorce has exclusive jurisdiction over all matters relating to the personal rights and duties of married perinea, so farm re. lates to their conjugal . status, and to suits for resti tution of conjugal rights, and that the judge of that court had declined to give effect to that covenant. The respondent contends that deeds of separation with such • covenant are valid both in law and equity; and the breech of • valid covenant will be entrained by injunction io equity if, as in this case, the legal remedy is inadequate ; while the refusal of such an in junction would enable the husband to defeat at his pleasure a contract to which be had solemnly booed himself. The Solicitor-General, Sir H. Mires, Mr. Waller, and Mr. Harriott appeared for the appellant ; Mr. Bolt sad Mr. Wickens for the respondent. The case was not concluded. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. JOLT 1. (Before the Judge Ordinaty.) CART= V. CROLOITON. The testatrix, Moe Marianne Coates, of PhWissor►ter• race, Kensington, died on the 23rd of March last at the age of 76. By a will executed on the 20th of December, 18.59, she had bequeathed nearly all her property, which was worth about 1,500 f., to her brother. The defendant, who was her sister, opposed the probation the ground of undue execution, incapacity, and undue influence ; but no material evidence was given in support of those plow The jury having found for the plaintiff, The court decreed probate, andcondemned Mrs. Cholerton in the costs. Iv:carry V. wursterr AND N.NAER. On the 10th of June, 1857, Captain Winniett, of the 24th regiment, married, at St. George's, Hanover-square, Fanny Hester Bell, the daughter of a merchant in London. The parties afterwards went to India, from whence they returned in the year 1860. They had previously become acquainted with Captain John Miller Id• Nair, of the 79th regiment, who had preceded them home by about a year, and the intimacy was renewed in this country. In October , 1861, Mrs. Winniett suddenly left her husband, baying written him a letter to tbepffect that she should not live with him again. Elbe did, however, return to his home in a few days, but her husband refused! to receive her ; and on instituting inquiries he found that she bad committed adultery with the co-respondent at an hotel at Naha& Dr. Dimes and Dr. Bpinks having addressed the jury, submitting that the identity of the parties bad not been made out, The jury found for the husband.

HLWOID CITY AND COUNTY BANK. _ The stoppage of the City of Hereford and County Bank was announoed as Tuesday. To-day Mears. Hodgson, Allen, and Hodgson (agents for Messrs. Bodenham and James, of Hereford) filed a petition in bankruptcy in this court, and adjudication was obtained. The bankrupts did not surrender. IN RE BANOICL GRITPITHIS AND Z. B. THORNITCROFT, OF WOLVERHAMPTON, IROMMARTZEB. Those bankrupts (one of whom is well known as connected with the South Staffordshire iron trade) came up this morn ing on their " last examination," technically so called, for the proceedings in conoexion with their bankruptcy appear to be never-ending. Adjudication took place in August last, yet the balance-sheet was not filed until this morning. A proposal was; made, and said to be snouted to by a majority of the creditor; that the matter should be taken out of court ; but in the course of the discussion an import ant interest, represented by Messrs. Johnson and Poole, of Lincoln's-inn, revoked assent to this proposition. Ultimately it was agreed that an adjournment should take place until the Mod inst., to give time for " a deficiency account" to be Sled._ The following abstract of the balance-sheet was furnished by Mr. Frederic Whitmore, the offload assignee : Abstract, in pursuance of Section 142 of Bankruptcy Act, 1861, of the above bankrupts' accounts filed in the above court : to creditors utinecored, &3,3341. 18e. 6.1. ; to creditors holding security, 9,986/. 14e. 10d. ; to liabilities on bills discounted, 1,2951. 13s. sd. ; to liabilities on accommodation bills, nil ; to creditors to be paid in full, 127/. 3e.-96,7441.

THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Pietro Rollo(di, an ltaliau, wu brought up on remand before the Lord Major, charged with causing to be forged • one guilder note, with intent to defraud the Emperor of Austria. Mr. Sleigh (instructed by Massie. Stochbury and Davis) appeared on behalf of the Austrian government ; the pri sooty wee defended by Mr. Oleed. From the statement of the counsel for the prosecution it appeared that on the 18th ult. the prisoner went to the residence of Mr. John M'Quire, of No. 4, Aldpte, photo grapher, and producing a one guilder note, reeked the photo grapher whether he could take an impression of that upon glass so that it could be reproduced. M'Quire said he could. He then left the guilder note in the possession of the latter, charging biro, on no account, to let any one see it, but when it was prepared to give it back to him and be would have 1,000 struck riff, and if they were successful they would do some more of greater value. M`Quire then communicated with the police, but in the meanwhile be photographed the guilder note, with which the prisoner was very pleased, and gave him six Napoleons, together with a five guilder and a ten guilder note, which be wished to be photographed in the same manner, and when they were all to be completed be directed his (as he thought! accomplice to get the whole en graved, so that they could at once commence to strike them off, telling him at the same time that when they were done they would proceed to the continent together, where they could make their fortunes in six months, after which they might retire to America or Australia, where they could live a life of ease and pleasure without fear of discovery. These high-flown soticipatione were, as he thought, just about to be consummated when the law stepped in and he was taken into custody. On his person several guilder notes were found, together with forty-two golden Napoleons. The above facts were proved by several witnesses, when the prisoner was again remanded. GUILDHALL Bernhard Behrertz, described as a merchant of 3, South ampton-street, Camberwell, was charged with absconding from his bankruptcy, and with concealing and embezzling his estate, with intent to cheat and defraud his creditors. It appeared that the prisoner was in business in South ampton-street, Camberwell. until April last, when he sold his business and disappeared with the whole of his property, leaving liabilities to the amount of 2,000/. The creditors communicated with Mr. Hamilton, the chief of the City Detective Police, and Detective Sergeant Webb's services were called into requisition, the result of which was that the prisoner was teased to a little village near Cologne. Webb proceeded to Cologne, and thence to Berlin, to obtain the resistance of the Prussian authorities in the removal of the prisoner. He then returned to Cologne, and was just in time to secure the prisoner, who had in his absence gone back as far as Gravesend to fetch kis wife and family. Webb also succeeded is obtaining possession of mosey and property to the amount of 2001., the money having bean deposited in a bank in the name of a friend of the prisoner. Evidence was given to show that the prisoner had been adjudicated a bankrupt, end that be had not surrendered, after which he was remanded for • week. .

THE ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAlLWAT.—Yesterday Mt. Woo. Carter, the coroner fee East Surrey, resumed at the Pied Ball lon Streatham common, the investigation into the circumstan ces attending the death of Mr. Lucy, Eliza Chilvers, and the two soldiers, Blonde's and Stone, who were killed on the occasion of the recent shocking ansideot near the Streatham statics of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. Numerous scientific gentlemen were 'gain present. A good deal of additional evidence was taken—Mr. Scott Russell and Colonel Yolked being among the witnesses who were examined—after which the jury deliberated for about en hour, when they returned the following verdict : "That the deceased persons severally came by their deaths from accident ; and we, the jury, are of opinion that it was attributable to the high rate of speed at which the express beau run over the line from Croydon to Victoria.
