Phu wag an action of breach of promise of marriage. [he defendant plaided that he did not agree to marry the • Serjeant Sbee and Mr. Charles Pollock were counsel the plaintiff ; and Mr. Lush, Q.C., Mr. Serjeant Parry, Ir. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Matthews for the defendant. F r om the opening statement of Mr. Serjeent Shee, it ( paved that the plaintiff, Annie Russell, was a yousg aged 22, the daughter of a gentleman who was for a o ,iderable time in practice as a surgeon, in Dublin. He o i tweet' , years ago, leaving a widow and an only child, i helresent plaintiff. The mother was a lady of good con irons in Ireland, the daughter of a gentleman who wee 6 , of the examiners of the College of Surgeons in ' , gbh% and a surgeon on the staff of the Lord Lieutenant, Waft enjoyed a small pension in consequence of his services o :Lae capacities. Mrs. Rummell would be the principal caws in the cue, and he believed an attempt would be • by the other side to attack and damage her character ; bolo should be able to show that she was a person of the I k rst respectability. Having lost some property, she T obliged to add to her income by teaching music, and ' hoed for years been in the habit of attending several • respectable families for that purpose. The de want was a surgeon of eminence, connected with the o e ttopedic Hospital, living in Henrietta-street, (~vendishw ire, and having also a residence at Hampstead. The ist.smey between Mime Russell and the defendant arose out of the young lady having had occasion to take to ha house fornlvioe a child who was suffering from a defect in the foe: From August, 1859, she frequently visited the de feal.nt for that purpose, and in November, 1860, she com ets:sated to her mother that he had promised her mar era Afterwards Mrs. Russell maw him, and he nl;! her that it was his intention to marry her M;hter, and the marriage was arranged to take lax in two months. The learned counsel then entered no the details et the ease, and said it had been suggested rat the defendant was a married man, but he did not know hetber he was or not. . . . Emily Rummell, the mother of the plaintiff, was then ati.ined. She said—My father was Mr. Kent, a surgeon, Dublin. My husband was also a medical man, but has an dead twenty-three years. At the time of his death e plaintiff was my only child. I have a government .OWII on account of my father's services. After my stud's death I found it neemeary to teas r.Dic to add to my income. I commenced to do so :der the patronage of the Hon. and Rev. Baptist .1, who introduced me to several families. In ..ember, 1860, I went to take charge of the house of Cromp, who lives at Ramsey. My daughter lived with r' I believe there was a separation between Mr. Cromp td his wife. I had the care of the children. My daughter t asted me in teaching them. One of the children had t owthing the matter with his foot, and I took him to the I %Ilopedie Hospital. I afterwards received a letter from Adams, requesting me to call at his house with the l. I did so. The witness then said that she mpenterlly tut the child for advice. Afterwards she became and =tined so for some time, and then her daughter and a ger rut used to take the child to Mr. Adams's house twice • vr.k. On the 18th of October, and again on the Ist of N3vember, my daughter madea communication to me. On • had of November I wrote • letter to him, in which I " I have heard front my daughter to-day your pro pall of marriage. I need only my that in my delicate health o f rely object is the welfare of my dear and ally child. I dull be glad to see her united to • gentleman, and party. alarlyto a member of my dear father and her father's *anion. I need not tell you that my daughter in no fortune, and that I have to use my own exertions to imams my income. From my own family and connexions my daughter is fully entitled to enter the family of an pro blond man in England. One of my uncles was Neale, and another is the Rev. Theophilue Blakeney, Dose ef Dow; in Inked. My brother is • motor in the church. Yy three nephews are rectors." I think I added 'list I had some nephews in her Majesty's service. Wm maid, " You wiah me to remove to town, but I am may that my circumstances will not make it convesient for DB to do so at present." In the letter I also said that I bald be glad to see him when I was better, and I suggested that I might obtain some weskit*. from the Medicalßens mint Fund. On the 7th December I called on Mr. Adams and he adverted to the receipt of my letter, and spoke of the promise he had made to nay daughter. He wialled me to leave Homey and come and live in the neighbourhood of London. [The witness was under examination when our report lett: COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) =nut V. [MLITT AIM DICILINBON. Mr. Harrison appeared for the petitioner, an assistant staff in the army. He married the reepoodent in 1850, and had had by her two ehildrenwho both survived. After serving in the Crimean war, he took his wife with him to the bake Islands, where she unfortunately acquired hinted Intemperance. In 1861, while she was living with her husband at Fernley, she was surprised in bed withJaoob ' Dianne, a private belonging to the hospital corps, whose wife was servant to the petitioner and respondent. She was them sent away, and she went first to her relations in Liverpool, and afterwards to Australia. Decree Mai. The only other business was a probate case, involving so point of public interest COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Beam Mr. Commissioner Ana.) Of I! TSB AIOLO•PIIICI LGI 001112. m (umirr.D). A winding-up order was recently made in the came of this company, and this was the day appointed for seta* the list of contributories. The company was t ared wider the Limited Lisbihty Acts in August, 1860. The nominal capital was 25,0001., in 5,0001. shares of 51. each ; but et thong only between 300 and 400 had been taken up. A board of directors was formed, of which Mr. Stabbing, President of the Chamber of Commerce, Southampton, was ehairmaa. The objscta of the company, as stated in the were the importation of cattle, sheep, grain, r " fr s t al 'i Brittany, in France, and the exportation of artifi cud, manure, agricultural implements, machinery, linen, slates, iron, &c. In promotion of these objects, she com pany Proposed to purchase, as a centre of operations, an estate advantageously situate on the great imperial route from St. Mato to Napoleonville, i• the vicinity of the flourishing port of St. Brienne, contiguous to the direct line of railway from Paris to Brat, within 14 boars , distance of Paris by railway, and 24 from Loudon. It was thought that • favourable opportunity for the operations of the company presented itself under the new commercial treaty between England and France. It was part of the scheme of the company to establish brickworks, distillery, flour, and saw mills on their estate, to purchasing neighbour ing properties, divide them into farms, and resell them • and to lay on two steam.vessels, to be despatched at regular periods, for the conveyance of merchandise mid pemmican. From all these sources it was anticipated that a large dividend would accrue to the shareholders. It I. seedless to say that none of these extensive operations were carried out. Mr. Bailey appeared for the official liquidator ; Mr. B. Griffiths and Mr. Weston for the contributories. The list was a short one, containing 18 names only. On the first name being called, that of Mr. Citherlay— Mr. Bagley submitted that the register of shareholder vu of itself suf6cient evidence, under the 26th aim. of the set of 1857, of the matters contained in it. His Honour concurred, and several came ware disposed of on this principle. Mr. H. Griffiths appeared for Mr. G. Dunlap, who was on the register for 20 shares, and who denied his liability. Mr. Dunlop, merchant and shipping agent, of South. anspton, deposed that he had never verbally or in writing gives say authority to thyme to take shares in the company. He never made application to the oompaey or any of its 'arrests to be allotted any shares, nor had he paid any money in respect of shares. The Commissioner—How comes bees the register? Wass his name put on without any authority ? Mr. Begley mid it would appear so ; but if that were the ease, he ought to have taken the proper stela for getting his name removed from the register, by applying to one of the superior courts for that purpose, as pointed out by the 25th section of the act. Mr. Griffiths submitted that the register was only prima facie evidence of certain persons being share— holders. Where a person disputes his liability, there mast ! be further evidence in order to fix him. It was extremely bard on peruse alleged to be contributories, that they should be brought here at great expense to show that their names were improperly included in a list which bad been compiled by a bankrupt promoter of a company. His Honour said that the question was one of grave im portant*, and he should take time to consider him judgment. Mr. Bugle/ would refer his Honour to the cameo," Ex perts Birth,' which he said decided this gelation. Mr. Griffiths further called attention to the 9th motion of the act, which rendered it necessary that there should be an acceptance of shares before a person wu placed on the register. Mr. Philip Hedger's case wannest taken, whom nuns was on the register for 12 shares. His deposed that be was= intendant of the S ou th a mpton Docks. He umr directly or indirectly for soy shares in this company-OPM Paid soy deposit, nor accepted any shares. He wee present at one meeting of shareholders for a short time in January, 1881. lir.

THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL SEDUCTION AND DESERTION.. EIiaIOWA Budruns, a respecitably.dreased young woman, was charged before Alderman Carter with deserting her child under the following circumstances : Beckett, relieving officer of the West London Union, said that on 30thllecember last,* child, about six months old, was brought to the Union by a police-constable, who found it deserted at an early hour in the evening, on a door step in New Midge-street, Blackfriars. A reward of 5/. was offered by the guardians for the discovery of the mother, and on Thursday last he received information that she was in service in a family at Croydon. He went there, and on communicating the object of his visit to the prisoner she admitted she was the mother of the child, and that she had deserted it He brought her up to London, and by order of the board of guardians he gave her into custody for the purpose of being brought before the magistrate. The prisoner, who appeared to feel her position most acutely, said she did not leave her child on the doorstep, she left it with a young person, believing that it would be taken to the Union, where it would be better o ff than with her, as she had been paying 6s. per week for its support at nurse, which, with other expenses, was more than she was earning. It had cost her 151. for the expenses of her confinement and the maintenance of the child, and she had continued to psy as long as she was able. She wan willing now to pay 3s. or 4s. per week. She could not do more. . . . Lombardo-Venetian Railway shares are dull, at 3 5-16 to 7-16 prem. Great Luxembourg have im proved. East Indian and Madras railway stocks, and Great Western of Canada shares, aro firm. The metal market has been quieter in consequence of the dearness of money ; prices, however, have been fairly main tained, with the exception of copper, which has sustained a heavy fall. Welsh Ban.—The demand continues slack, sod pod brands are now obtainable at 51. 10s. free on board at ' Wales, and at • corresponding price here. Staffordshire iron remains unaltered. Scotch pig iron has not undergone any change since our last report, closing at 545. 3d. cash. Cop per.—The reduction on English, which was anticipated some time ago, was declared on the 4th iost. All sorts have been put down 91. per ton ; yellow metal, id. perlb. The reduction Las caused a very heavy demand and several smelters have already closed their order books for raw. There are still sellers of manufactured at 961. In foreign, business is restricted owing to the high prices asked. 941. is bid for Barra, without finding sellers, and all the Kapnada afloat has been sold at 951. ; Spanish held at 851. ; and Chili sold at 821.

We quote, spot, 181. fie. to 181. 7a. 6d., and for sg shipment 181. 10s., at which • large business has beat done; WH., 181.15 a. Alderman Carter said she bad acted in a moat unfeeling and unnatural manner in deserting her own offspring in the manner she had done, and be hardly knew how to deal with her under all the circumstance*. Beckett Ira he, onthe partWthe guardians, did not prima the case against the prisoner, as she was in a respect able situation which she would loss if sent to prism. He understood she had been seduced under • promise of mar riage, and her character and occupation would be gone if she could not return to her situatioa. . _ Alderman Carter said ii;;;; very serious offence, and his duty to the public required that he should make an example of her. Beckett said they had no lees than five similar cases in the union at that time, and the guardians were deter mined to bring them all before the magistrates as soon as the parents could be found. In the present case the guardians asked for some punishment, but not a heavy one. Alderman Carter said it was a very serious evil, and although his sympathies were enlisted in the prisooer's favour, he could not entirely overlook the fact that she deserted her child at that period of the year when the ex posure to the inclemency of the weather might have termi nated its existence. It appeared to him that she had aban doned her child at a time when she was in a good situation and enjoying the comforts of a good home, and he could not, therefore, do otherwise than send her to prison. The prisoner here began to cry most bitterly, and in an ' ewer to a question from the alderman said the father of her child was a person of the mine of Smith, who abandoned her as soon as be ascertained the condition she was in.. Alderman Carter rid be wu sorry the f ellow could not be found, so that he might be compelled to contribute to the support of his child. The prisoner was then committed to prime for one month, the child to be taken are of in the union in the meantime. Sarah Saunders, aged al, a respectably-attired young woman, who seemed to feel her position very acutely, was brought up in the custody of Police-sergeant Luff, 7 N., and charged before Mr. D'Eynoonrt, with concealing the birth of her illegitimate child, at 12, Ebor-terrace, Stoke Newington. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner had been is the service of Mrs. Sued Franklin, the wife of • City warehouseman residing at the above address. On Widnes. day, Jan. 28, from what came to the knowledge of Mrs. Franklin she went into the prisoner's bedroom, and from what she saw ehe had no doubt but that the prisoner had given birth to • child. Finding a pail in the room she looked in it, and sew that it wax nearly full of water. She procured • stick, sad on stirring the water she saw the foot of • child. The body of the infant was head downwards. The child was quite dead. She proceeded to the kitchen and told the prisoner to sit down and then asked her what she had done with the child, and she replied, " Nothing." She afterwards said that the child was not born alive, and that she did not expect it for another mouth. She then sent for the police, who for 10 days had to attend to the prisoner, and nurse her, as no female waited on her or lent her mistime. . _ _ — The pri;oner said she was very thankful for what the police had done. Hr. Savory, stated that be wax called to attend to the prisoner, and ha ving done so, he looked into the pail, and saw a child with its foot above the surface of the water. He had dace made a post modem examination. He found that it was a fullgrown child, bat he could not say that it bad ever breathed, for the limp were not inflated. He eouldkaot say that the child was bore alive. There were no marks of violates on the body of any coosequenoe. He naked her if she hod Dude any preparations for the child, and she replied that she did not expect it for another month. Mr. D'Eyncourt, without ceiling upon the prisoner for any defence, said that no concealment of birth had been proved, such as came within the meaning of the act of par ment, and discharged her. The prisoner, who seemed very thankful for the molt, then left the court. THE CAMBSIDGE is no alight honour and advantage to • town to be represented by such • man as Mr. Fawcett, and if the liberal party among us have pet:Mikan enough to act further as one body they will enable Cambridge to boast that she pos sesses, as her member in parliament, • gentleman who is • profound thinker, an independent poli &lath, an able and influential writer, and an un melees and eloquent speaker. If the contest were between Colonel Adair and Mr. Fawcett, we could easily under stand that many liberals would fled it difficult to decide to which they should give their vote, but as the con test is between Mr. Fawcett sod Mr. Powell, we really cannot understand how anyone calling himself a liberal, and having the stability of the govern. meet at heart, can hesitate about giving his vote, or to which of the two he should give it. As to Mr. Few. cett's chinos, he suffers a diaadvantage on scoonut of the time and circumstances of his corn* forward, but as he has made shoals of friends, both at personal interviews and by his public speeches, and as we hear there are no less than 400 sew whin on the register, our hopes are much higher than they were lest week at this time.—Cambridge Inde pendent.

Lying down fiat in one of the pontoon.shaped cars, on • COATIS conch rather too ominously like a stretcher. and gathering the skirts of your oat very carefully a.onnd you, the first dread which will probably agitate your mind will be that of sticking fast in the middle of the tube. But there is cer tainly not the smallest danger of this or any other misfor tune ; and being thrust into the darkness, like a living cartridge into the chamber of • breech-loading rifle, you discover in your minute's ride that there is a strange &h -oopoe of any sensations, except the rough 'jolting which is sensed by springlesa wheels. 'Travelling with the wind, neither faster nor slower, you feel nothing of its influence, except just a very little when, in your return passage, you go head foremost, and are not sheltered from the camps of stir which finds its way in at the end of the tubular truck towards which your feet are placed ; and, the space being too contracted for reverberation, there is less noise than you would expect from iron rattling on iron." A FRENCH MIDWIFE. —An inquest which was held yesterday by Mr. Bedford on the body of a dead infant brought to light some curious facts. The child was the son of • barmaid at one of the refreshment houses in the Haymarket, who had gone to the house of • French midwife named Cbaret to be confined. The child was born at three o'clock in the morn ing, and was sent away to a nurse at four. It never did well, but its. death appeared to have been caused by suffocation. These facts were elicited from the mother, the nurse, and Madame Chant, who also tinted that she was in the habit of receiving ladies into her bones to be confined, and that she received probably as many as sixty ladies a year, whose children were sent out to nurse. The jury returned a verdict that the child upon whose body the inquest was held died of suffocation. FEARFUL EXPLOSION OF POWDER MILLS. —On Thursday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, a terrible explosion took place at the Low Wood powder mills, about seven miles on this side of Ulverston. The shock or rather shooks—for three of the mills blew up, one after the other—wen felt for 15 miles round, and at Kendal were by some piques attributed to an earth quake, but by those better acquainted with the matter were at once ascribed to the blowing up of some powder manufactory. We regret to learn that the catastrophe has been attended with • serious loss of life, three persona being killed and four much injured. The parsonage house at Haverthwaite sod the school-house were mach damaged by the explosion, which shook the buildings so much that pans and other things were thrown off the shelves. The windows of the school and parsonage were smashed to pieces, sod the Low Wood Inn also sustained considerable damage—We are sorry to say that after the above was written we have learned that there are three other sufferers since dead, making six lives lost by the explosion.— Wag suire/and Owelte.

The water is carried through an iron channel, which is let into the top of the arch of the railway. The channel is 40 feet in length, 8 feet wide, and 9 feet high, and so important was the work considered that the Metropolitan Board of Worka sent Mr. Bochum, clerk of works, to superintend its construction. Before the water was allowed to par through the channel was tested, both by Mr. Raeburu and Mr. Cordell, the manager for Mr. Jay, the contractor. The weight of the test was so less than 35 toni l / 2 a far heavier weight than the channel will ever be celled upon to bear, but so substantial it the work that the deflec tion was found to he only one-eighth of an MUNIFICENT OFFZR BY A LADY.—At the weekly mating of the General Hospital board held yesterday, Mr. A. Ryland announced the offer by a lady of a large hones for a convalescent institution, and the defrayment of the expanses of the staff not exceeding 7.301. per annum, and on very liberal conditions. We are sorry to have to state that this lady desires to do good by stealth. and asks that her name shall not be mentione d ill connexion with the munificent offer she has made.—BirmiNghant Gazette. Commission or LUNACY.—The commission of lunacy opened on Mr. Samuel Naylor, which has occupied the attention of Mr. Commissioner Barlow and a special jury five sneosesive days at Clement's-inn-hall, and of which a notice has already appeared in our columns, was brought to a conclusion yesterday. Among the witnesses for the defence, in addition to these previously mentioned, was Mr. Tom Taylor, who had known Mr. Naylor ten years, and bad visited him in Wales. He described him as a per son of sound mind, but admitted that he laboured under a delusion with respect to Mr. Sharps, a neighbour with' whom he bad had a quarrel. Mr. Taylor said that Mr. Naylor was devoted to literature and art, and possessed a highly cultivated mind. The oom adenoma. inquired whether Mr. Naylor was in at tendance, or was expected to attend the inquiry ; it was always satisfactory to see the alleged lunatic. Mr. Hogging, his counsel, said Mr. Naylor was at Boulogne on his way from Paris to &treed the commissicia. He was now ill, and without funds. Several letters recently written by Mr. Naylor were read, in one of which be expressed a fear that, if be came over, he might be "kidnapped," as be was before. Mr. flogging said that if a promise was given that Yr. Naylor should not be taken, a telegram would be sent atones for his attendance. The commissioner observed that he could not see how mob a promise could be given. In the course of the cue, a MS. work of Mr. Naylor in reference to Mr. Sharpe was produced, and Mr. Tom Taylor said that. making allowance for some gross allusions, it was in his opinion the work of a sane person. Mr. Coleridge described the work as "a mass of filth and indecency." Eventually the jury found Mr. Naylor to be of unsound mind; thirteen of the jury agreed and one dimented. ----- THE BROKEN WINDOW HOVERS IN STAMFORD- ETZEZT.—The following letter appears in the Times : " Sir,— As several false reports are current concerning these houses it is desirable to let the public know the facts. The whole of the houses (as well as some homes in the City) were purchased by hiss Bead's late father many years ago at a high once, and they were legally conveyed to him, and Mime Road's title to them is indisputable. In consequeom of the out rages committed upon the houses in Stamford-street on Jan. 19, Mrs. Corrnack, who instigated it, was committed for trial at the sessions, and Miss Read, under legal advice, has since obtaised possession of all the bottom, and the per who unlawfully held possession for Mrs. (k.rmack were turned out in the preen°, of a body of the polioe. It is utterly false that Mies Read has offered any money, or made say over tures to any person, to compromise any claim. Mile Bead is now about resuming the repairs which she oommencod last September, with the view of letting all these houses. as wells her houses in the City. It is well that it should be generally known that the taking forcible p emseion of property subjects the offender, and all who aid and amid to criminal proceedings and flue and imerirmasot or the o ff enders may be made to pay treble damages sad treble costs in a ciril action.—JOHN C. Mrrieorr, Soli citor, 5, Albiomplana, Blackfriam-bridge." A number of persons bad a narrow escape from a calamity in Shudebill, Manchester, last night. A boiler, used in a blacksmith's shop, exploded. and though four men were standing close to it at the time, and the ad joisiag house, in which was a whole family, We/ shattered, yet Do personal injuries were sustaiaed. The damage to property was coanderabls. 1= Ole MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Two o'Cloci. The funds to-day are firm. Consols are quoted about 1-16 per cent. better than they *wed yester day. In the railway market, although business is far from active, the tendency of prices is favourable, particularly as regards South Eastern stock, which has risen nearly 1 per cent. There is still a good deal of movement in the foreign stock market, but the speculative securities are in less demand. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter opened at 70fr. 40c., being sc. lower than yesterday. Console are now quoted 92a to I, for money. and 92 13-16 to 15-16, or 921, for the account (March 5).
