The trial of this case waa resumed at the sitting of the court to-day. It was an action brought by Mr. John Philip Beano, elicitor. against the Counter of Waldegrave, now the wife of Mr. Chichester Porteous. IL P., for breach of covenant, iCI a deed executed by her late husband, the earl, whereby be granted to the plaintiff the next presentation to the rectory of Morley, Essex, and covenanted to pay him 1;40. and interest in case no vacancy should occur during either of the live of the earl or the countess, or the plaintiff should be defeated of the presentation. The plaintiff said he bad been deprived of the presentation, and not paid the 1,500/.. and he now brought the action to re :over that sum and interest against the defendant ea widow of the executor. _ The defence we that the deed was not the late Earl of Waldegrave's, that it was obtained by fraud on the part of the plaintiff, and that in consideration of the payment of 1,510. the plaintiff had discharged the defendant from the performance of the covenant. Mr. Kerslake, (i.e., Mr. G. Denman, Q.C., and Mr. Buller were counse for the plaintiff ; and Mr. M. Smith, Q.C., Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Mr. Serjeant Hayes, and Mr. Henry James for the defendant. Mr. M. Smith put in a number of letters and documents relating to the transactions that took place between the earl, lir. &WALD, and other parsons. The actuary of the Westminster Insuranoe Office said that Mr. Bexian bad effected, on the 30th September, 1845, • policy of insurance cm the life of the then incumbent of Boris y ; that be paid the premium at the time, 371. 195., and also paid it in 1846 ; but that in 1847 the policy lapsed by non-payment. Mr. Lebec, auctioneer, of Bond-street, said that in April, 1841, he discounte d • bill for 1,1611., drawn by Heaven, and accepted by Lord Waldegrave. He gave the ' value of it to Mr. Heaven. The bill remained in his posses "dog Until 1847. Afterwards be teed Lady Welders,* sa executrix on the bill, sod received the money, principal and interest. In cr*saexamination, be mid the application for renewals were made by Mr. Beavan. This was the awe for the defence. Upon this evidence, Mr. Kanlake called Mr. Beavan, the defendant, who said that he became solicitor to George Edward Earl of Waklegrave in 1818. and remained so until 1842. During that tiros peat intimacy existed between them. The earl's affairs were then very much embar rassed, but ba spent his money very freely. Witness constantly made advances of money to him. In 1840 the earl married the defendant, the Conn tees of Waldegrare. He went to Scotland for the pur pos e at being married. Before then the earl and a Captain Duff and others were charged with assault* the polices, end proceedings had been commenced against the earl. He advised the earl to remain in Soothed, and while he was there he received several letter both from him and Lady We/dopers. [The letters were hem reed. Both the earl and the countess expressed their elm* anxiety to get away from Edinburgh, where they etayed during the winter of 1840, describing the Scotch capital se a detectable place, whose climate was seriously injuring their health. The earl some times asked Mr. Beavan for a remittance of money, and mice mid that though he wished to leave Edinburgh, he did sot think it advisable to come to London, as he could not appear m the streets without being recognised by friend; erediton, cabs, and cads] The wane's, in oonlinestion of his evidence, said that the earl and him wife cease to town in March, 1841. He raised mosey to pay off the bills which they bad incurred in Edielsnrgh, and which amounted to 1,3001. or 1,4001. be Mamis be procured fr .m Mr. Ulm the value d the 1,1814 bill, accepted by the earl, and perwcatllY rive the earl the wog for the purpose of pay* off the Edinburgh debts. After the earl came to town he, under advice of oonasel, pleaded malty to the charge of swanking the polioe, and was sentenced to six months' mint and to my • fine et 2001.

The Lord Chief Baron—Oh, I recollect the case perfectly well. I still think that Had Waldemar* received good advice. Witness—Lord Waldman medsrwent the term of im prisonment. I ceased to be his solicitor in 1842, but I mane to no settlement with him until 1845. The balance of 3001. which is declared to be owing to me in the deed of re lease executed in that year, was entirely independent of the 1,1611., which does not appear on either aide of the account. In 1847 I became embarramed in coneaptence of being liable for another perms, and I gave up my esta blishment in England, sold my gallery of pictures and everything else, and went abr oa d. I had also a large estate m France which I also sold, and paid every creditor I bad. I was not able to return to this country natal October last. [The trial was proeseding when our report left.] COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Mahn Mr. Oonuniesioner Fans.) IN NZ W. WZNIVARTH.

Of the ix offences embraced in the 159th section, it wee urged that the bankrupt bad bees guilty of two. He bad entered into • eerie of transactions by pun:being goods for ehipment abroad, immediately raising moaey on them by hypotheeetion, sad Applying the funds so rinsed to mess past liabilities. Mk, it be contended, was carrying ea trade by mere of fictitious capital. He had also contracted debts without probable mesas of being able to pay them ; for be bad continued to panders keg after the absolute insolvency of the first was well knowa both to the beak rapt sad hi parbms. It was right to state that the baakrupt's boob bad bees well kept, and bet be bad not indulged in rash sad hamedous speculation.

The bankrupt had drawn on the Melbourne Ina, just as though they were • dieting< base, and they drew upon him. This eosins of dealing had been to as barrooa extent, mad could only have the effect of ebbing fictitious capital, for it was in reality one partner drawing on another. The so counts filed showed that Westrarth was deficient upwards of 8,6001. at the dab of the ban ruppttcey, and the Melbourne Arm 16,5001. The new firm at Melboune bad paid 11,400 i. cm abbot of the fined Wes4gartb and Ross, thus damaging the new creditersto that extant This showed that the firm had been rotten at the core for years, and going from worse to worse.

From Jane to December, 1861, Weetpuih had made parchment in this country to the amount AWL, of which the whole bad been shipped to the house at Melbourne, he previously obtain' n ad venom oc the bills of lading to the amount of 19,000 L, and applying this money in discharge of former liabi lities. Thus the proceeds of the goods were pretty nearly absorbed before there was • chanc e o f th e i r b e i ng realised In only one Mebane, during the six months had the bank rupt departed from th e system of pledging the bills of lading, and that was in respect of 6701. worth of wine. The good i beteg bought at tour or six mooth's bell. fore was an nevitable necessity that the last creditors be. fore the stoppage must be sufferers. The learned roundel then read extracts from letters passing between the partners to show that their insolvency had long been known to them. Is February, 1861, Bpowers wrote from Mel bourne complaining of the difficulty of meeting engagements there, and making remittances home at the same time ; he said he could not "by any legerdemain" his reroitioces differently. A mount afte a r m t: spoke of the precarious state of the firm, and said he wrote "in the vague hope that something might turn up" (Laughter.) The letter concluded with the prayer, " May s way of escape be given to us." In April he " anticipated the worst," and suggested an arrangement with the pia ci* creditors. In May be declared that the " struggle looked well nigh hopeless." and said that • month or two more would no doubt "meal their fate." Next month be wrote that the bailees was more depressed than ever, and that improvemeat could not be expected for months to come. All this time Wastearth was baying largely, solely for the sake of obtaining ad •110C4111 on the goods. Other letters of more recent date pave a more gloomy view of the positioa of the house, and ooe it was stated that "trade is getting duller and duller / ' there is mimed welling on our exchange."

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 24, 1863. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS (THIS DAY.) (Before the Amistant-Judge.) George °come. 40, stablem►n, was indicted for ste►ling • mare and ► gelding, the property of Charles Case. Mr. Poland prosecuted ; Mr. Ribton defended the pH enner. l i tieprosecutor stated that he lived at New IClllmanatreet, St. Pancras, was • cab proprietor, and had known the pri soner for about six months as an ostler, and he had been in and out the yard. Witness had a gelding and a mare for sale about three weeks ago, and the prisoner came into the yard and said he had got a cus tomer for one of them. He told him to bring his cus tomer, but in a few days afterwards the prisoner came spin and said his friend would not run about to look after hones, and asked if he might take them to show him. The prosecutor assented, and said if his friend approved of them that he was to bring him back, u he (prosecutor) would not allow the hones to be sold off the pre mises. He told the prisoner that the price of the horses would be SI., but he did not authorise him to sell them. On the contrary, be expressly told him that be would sell them himself. On the 30th of January he found that the horses were gone from the stable, and on the Monday following, on seeing the prisoner, he asked him what had become of the horses, and he said "Some one has sold them for 21. Ils., and they stopped Ils. for selling them." When the prisoner was at the station-house he said that George Everett had sold them in the market. George Everett, dealer in hones, said the prisoner brought him a grey gelding and a bay mare to sell for him. lie sold one for 255. and the other for 26e. WdliainYoucg, of 64, Collier-street, Pentonville, said he bought a grey gelding in Copenhagen-fields for 26e. of a man who said he was • dealer in coke. William Suet ;aid he;l;4;tiiht the mare for 25e. of • man is the market. In cram-examination of these witnesses by Mr. Ribbon, they dated that low as the price appeared to be, they soon became thoroughly disgusted with their bargains, u these amends were broken winded, broken backed, and one of them was lame in three legs. With respect to the gelding, when it was produced at the police-dace the purchaser was warned that if he attempted to work it he would be prosecuted by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. When he took the horse out he covered it up with • cloth, so that the detente of the animal should not be seen ; and, indeed, he felt thoroughly ashamed of it hinelf. Mr. Raton inquired of the wittier whether he supposed &gm. bad been used to give the horse • lively appearance at the time he made the purFbase of it. The winsome rid that would have been of no use an it was toolar goselforithat. (Laughter.) He had no idea that he should get more money for it than be gave, unless there were ((enter fo,le to be found than he was. . _ Mr:Ribton, for the • 'er contended that these animal" were sold for their full value, and were not at all likely to be sold for any more unless they were to find • greater fool than Moses in " The Vicar of Wakefield," who sold • pony for • CYO of spectacles and shagreen cases. These were really worthless, animals, and only fit for the knacker's yard. As to the felony, there was no evidence to sustain it, as the prwwer had been authorised to sell these ex hausted and emaciated animals, and had he obtained 91. for them they would never have heard anything about this felony. The Assistant Judge having summed np, the jury found him Guilty. . . . The prooar was sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour or six months. The horses were ordered to be given up to prosecutor. THE POLICE COURTS. (TELLS DAY.) DEATH OF DANIEL W. HARVEY, ESQ. (THIS DAY.) Wo regret to announce the death of Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, the well-known chief commissioner of the city of London police. The death took place it half-put six o'clock this morning, at his residence, Old Jewry. He was taken ill on Friday, but his medial adviser then appre hended nothing serious. Few men were better known to the public of the metro polis than the late Mr. Harvey ; indeed, he was at one time a highly popular favourite with the liberals throughout the kingdom. Mr. Harvey first entered parliament, we believe, se member for °debater, for which borough he was returned chiefly by the dissenting interest. In parliament his re markable oratorio' powers soon obtained for him ■ foremost place amongst the speakers of the day, and the services which he rendered to every cause with which the liberal party was identified, were unquestionable. He afterwards sat for Southwark, and as a metropolitan member became yet more vigorous as a chief of the Radical party. His subsequent career—the circumstances attending his acceptance of the office of chief commissioner of the City police, especially the provision supposed to have been introduced for the purpose of removing a dis agreeable antagonist of the government from the parliamentary arena, precluding the holder of the office from sitting in parliament—are fresh in the recollection of our readers. Under him the City police became one of the most effective municipal guards in Europe. His loos will be severely felt in the City, where he was well known to everyone. It is only about a fort night ago that be went to Witham, in From (his native oounty) for the purpose of reading at the Literary Institute the tragedy of Cato. He was received with much enthusiasm, and the reading was vastly enjoyed by the resident gentry who bad assembled. Mr. Harvey, we believe, was nearly eighty years of age.

This wee& very cruel robbery, iessosuch as Bethnal-green, John Crowder, living in M ath-street , -green, sad following the humble occupation of a porter, has been deprived of many years' savings by the felonious art. He stated that on the evening of the 2nd inst. he left home, and that when he returned after an hour's skeence he found the premises forced at the rear, the whole homes in confusion, and the money sod pro perty, among the latter of which were fifteen silver spoons, watches, pins, 'anima, wearing apparel, and two silver miming. Not anything °odd be ascertained of the thief or the disposal of any of the articles until Dunaway, a detective of theH dividers, roadeadimovery which connected the prisoner with the treamotioe in the following manner. Goolan—or rather Attie, that being his right name—was recently apprehended on the confestion of an accomplice for participating in a burglery at the Bell public-hones, Chezeketreet, Betheallgreen, and a moat frightful assault with a }slimy on policooonstable Thomas, fd division, who endeavoured to take him into custody at the time—the cir comsteaces attendant upon which duly appeared. He was remanded twice from this court, and on one occasion very nearly effected escape by brcaloing through the ceiling of the cell. When at the House of Detention he sent for a man Teamed whom he asked to bail him out.

About twenty minutes before twelve o'clock yes terday, the inhabitant of the lower parts of the town of Hanley were startled by aloud report, which shook the win dows of the hoses. Simultaneously there wasa tremendous csatlianit of steam, which proceeded from the furnaces of Bari Granville, on the Etruria-road, about a quarter of • mile from the town. It was soon ascertained that • boiler, we of nisei connected with the extensive establishment, where hoe is forged and rolled, had burst, and that several lives bad been instantaneously sacrificed, besides essay serious injuries being sustained, several of which, it is ex pected, will prove fatal. The boiler which exploded is one which was connected with the movement of the machinery in the peddling house. It was newly new, of the tubular description, fixed uptight, and built around with brick. The force of the exp losio n was manifested by the greater =the mass of the boiler (all indeed except a few ta of the bottom) being lifted high in the air, and carried 150 yards away in the director' of Oobtidge. Aiscmg Chow killed at once wee the engine tenter, whose satiated remains were found wider a portion of the interior tubular part of the boiler, and about 30 yards from the site which it had occupied. It is supposed that he was earned thus far by the violence of the explmios. when the part mentioned , separating from the main mans of the bailer, fell as it was found, crushing the crown of his head quite flat. Two men and • boy were killed in the adjacent puddling house, it is believed, by the falling masses of brick and dibris blown through the roof, whicb, on the side towards the boiler, was nearly shattered to pieces. A labourer was also killed who was engaged in wheeling • barrow earns the yard. A tall and massive iron clamped chimney, closely contiguous to the boiler, is mach rent, and the furnace and other buildings, many scores of yards distant, bear evidence of the violence with which the bricks which surrounded the boiler have been thrown against them. Fragments of bricks were also strewn in profusion about the yards. At tire p.m. yesterday it was known that five or six men and • boy were dead, and it was rumoured that smother was on the point of expiring. Seventeen persons have also been re. moved to the North Staffordshire I ofirmai7, more or leas ' injured. The cans of the explosion cannot yet be ewer tamed. It is expected that a ooroner's inquiry will be held to-morrow. LONDON,TILBURY,AND SOUTHEND RAILWAY. (THIS DAY.) The ordinary half-yearly meeting of shareholders was held this day 4 the London Tavern ; Mr. J. N. panne r. report, presidi The report, which has already been published in the Express. was taken as read. Th. Caaramaa, is moving its adoption, stated that there was • slight increase in the balance of receipts over ex penditure, as compared with the corresponding period of 1851, amounting to 5001. The Great Eastern and the Landon and Blackwell Companies had submitted to parliament • measure effecting the company, but it was merely • permissive bill to enable negotiatioos to be entered into, and las thought it would be prudent for the shareholders to suspend their judgment upon it till the terms were made known to them. _ .
