wad be a etrong fact for the jury, that General Peel was not dealing fairly with Lieuteoant-Colooel Dickson. yr. Justioe Blackburn said he doubted if au action could be brought against a Secretary of State for a bias against per,eos in the discharge of his official function,. Mr. Coiendge said suppose that the plaintiff showed that the Earl of Combermere and Earl Wilma wished to get rid of the plaintiff, and, with General Peel, they agreed that • r eport should be made for that purpose, he apprehended that General Peel would be liable. A certain amount of public decency must be kept by men of such distinction, and the dismissal of an officer meet appear to proceed on the report of • regular tribunal ; and supposing • report had be.o procured for that purpose (he did not say it was true), surely he was amenable for such conduct The last interrogatory had reference to General Peel's know :edge of the plaintiff's intention to publish a full statement of his case.. . . . . . . . v. ihe court granted a rule on the whole of the interroga tories—the objectiooeble one to be modified.

Thin was an action for false imprisonment. The plaintiff was • German, who had received 700 dollars from the father of • young lady in Prairie, on the understanding, as alleged by the defendant, that he would marry the daughter. The plaintiff came to this country without making the girl his wife, and the defendant, in consequence of communi cations with her family, gave him intocustody on a charge of obtaining money under false pretences, but the magistrate before whom be was brought discharged him, on the ground that the alleged offence having been committed out of the country he had no jurisdiction. The trial of the action took *ft at Guildhall before Mr. Baron Bramwell, when the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 25t. Mr. Serpent Parry now showed apse against • rule which had been obtaried for • new trial, on the ground chiefly of certain untrue statement. made by the plaintiff during his examination. Mr. Denman, Q.C., having been heard io support of the The Court said that the plaintiff had cm Lately not stated some matters correctly ; but if the cue went down again (or trial the defendant could not get a verdict. Under the circumstances they would grant • new trial, but give the plaintiff the option of having it disch►rged on agreeing to rodeos the damages to IW. Mr. Serjeaat Parry said he would consent to accept 101. Rule discharged on that understanding. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Jndge Ordinary.) (tries V. GIPPS air, null; Y.P.

Mr. Lopez, for the co-respondent, submitted that the judgment was in strict and literal conformity with the act of parliament. Sir C.

In this case Sir C. Creswell gave judgment on the motion for • Raw trial at the instance of the wife, on the ground that the 'unbolt of the special jury had bran against evi dence. The learned judge said it was impossible for any person to doubt from the facts proved that the jury wiz well and fairly come to the conclusion that adultery been committed. It was poesible, no doubt, that if the case were submitted to another jury, they might come to a different conclusion because there was no direct testimony and the matter rested entirely upon circumstantial evidence. Still be bad no reason to surmise that there had been anv heats, mistake, or preju dice on the part of the jury, and he could not disturb their Ending. There would therefore be no rule. cierimaz o. cAretnxsz. --JUDGMENT. In this one Sir C. Cromwell also pre judment on a eimilar application. The evidence of adultery had mated upon thef testimony of three women, but though they were Prostitutes their evidence was undoubtedly admissible, and it had moreover been corroborated by other wittie-ses. He could not grant a new trial as to that charge. If he were to come to another conclusion as to the issue • very anions question would arias—namely, whether the new trial should be as to both or only as to ens of the allegations Following the precedent of the common law mores he was doubtful whether the if. should not have her election to proceed for a judicial esperatiou on the ground which had been peeved. The question would not, however, arise on the present occasion ; for though he shor'd probably have hesitated himself to find the cruelty, he could not deny that there was afiirmative evidence on which the jury might have acted, and also that they had • right to consider the manner and demeanour of the respondent and his wit nesses, which might possibly have injured their credit. He could not go so far as to may that he was dissatisfied with the verdict, and there would therefore be no rule. He had the less hesitation in declaring his opinion in both these cases, because he was happy to say that his judgment was not final. There mu • court of appeal, and the par ties, if they thought fit, might go thither. COIL? V.

The funds opened with renewed buoyancy this morning, and a fresh advance of I per cent• was temporarily attained. Some sales have since been pressed, however, and a relapse to the closing quotations of yesterday has occurred. Some other kinds of securities, including English railways, are also slightly flatter.

Sir,-1 am desired of the directors to forward you the fol lowing extract from a letter, received by the Fast India Steam Navigation Company (Limited), with reference to the steamer Stanley, purchased by this company :—Extract from air. Folkani's letter, dated Calcutta, 9th March, 1863 : "The third trip downwards of your vessel shows a balance of something like 8.000 rupees." The directors desire me to inform you that they have every reason to anticipate that this profit will be considerably increased ; but even should it remain at this amount, and the steamer make only the same number of tripe she has hitherto done, it will be more than sufficient to pay a dividend of 10 per cent. upon the company's A capitaL— I am, kc., IiZADERT HL&TB, Secretary.

Creditors of the Commercial Discount Company (Limited) are required to send the particulars of their claims to the official liquidator by the Ist of June, the Bth ideui having been appointed for adjudicating upon them. In conseq uence of the large number of applica tions already l odged , it is notified that the share list of the Royal Sardinian Railway Company will be closed on Friday for England and on Monday for the Continent. There seems to be some misap prehension with regard to the value of this com pany's obligations. It may be useful, therefore, to mention that as the whole of them aro redeem able in 41 years (being a much shorter term than that fixed for the obligations of the Lombardo- Venetian and Southern Italian (Bastogi) Com panies), the average rate of interest yielded by them is as much as 81 per cent per annum for the whole of that period. We are requested to state that the share list of the English, Belgian, and Netherlands Bank will be closed on the Bth for London, and on the 9th for the country.

They managed to reach the lower part of the house, but were unable to get to the street-door. As a last resource they made for the area and cried loudly for help. The polio, fortunately succeeded in pulling them out. The build ing and its contents were consumed. Captain Shaw, in his official report, describes the building and contents as all but destroyed through the bad supply of water. About the same time a fire was discovered by the police in the pre mises of Yr. tedweemy, a chandler, carrying on business at No. 108, Golden-lane, St. Luke's, and considerable damage was dom.

Few THE WEATHER AND THE CROPB.—The continued dryness of the weather is beginning to give rise to no little anxiety. For nearly two months there has been little or no rain. and the want of it is now somewhat seriously felt. The peat week has been bright, with brisk, drviug winds, and although • few somewhat heavy showers of rain and hail fell on one day of the week, the wet was not more than sufficient to slightly freshen up vegetation. On Saturday the wind blew strong sod keen from the north, but dace then it has changed, sad the teatimes tune of Monday was decidedly wanner and more genial and like May. The wheat crops, on thoroughly drained sod well-cultivated lands, are looking well, but on badly drained clays and ill.mnditioned soils the pleat is beginning to tun yellow—a very unfavourable symptom at this period. The oats and spring core. though looking well, nevertheless indicate plainly the want of moisture, and the pastures have not made the progress we usually expect to see by the first week in May. The change in the tempera ture and wind since Sunday leads, however, to the belief that Taal is probably at band, and most assuredly it will be everywhere welcomed. The accounts are good from most quarters as to the prospects of the orchards sad fruit tress, though the frosts sod recent cutting winds have done damage in exp o sed situations. —Sussex Adrertiser.
