The Queen's Advocate and Mr. Lopes for the petitioner ; Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Dr. Spinks, and Mr. Searle fur the re spondent. fail was the petition of Captain Stone for a dis solution of his marriage with Matilda Catherine, his wife, on account of her alleged adultery with Mr. Robert Appleton, against whom he claimed damages to the extent The respondent denied the charge. The co- A upuudent, under somewhat peculiar circumstances, did not appear. The Me has already been tried, and the leading facts in it were as follows. The respondent was Miss Slack, a daughter of the rector of Morton Hampstead, Devonshire, and the marriage took place in March, 1834. A son of Mr. Slack had also married the petitioner's sister. Captain stone and his wife shortly afterwards went to India, where they remained till after the mutiny. The petitioner then came home on sick leave ; and ill the summer of 1858 he too to live at Budleigh Salterton, near Exeter. In the A it of the following Tear the petitioner returned to India, but the state of his wile a health did not permit of bar ac companying him. She had previously had three children ; and soon after hnsband's departure she was confined of a fourth. She had been left by the petitioner under the medi cal care of Mr. Appleton, a surgeon, who was practising at l;udleigh. On the god of M, 1861, the petitioner mein returned to hie wife ; an d on the 2nd of the following Januarv—that was—in thirty-three weeks afterwards—the respondent was delivered of a fifth child. lo the previous Dece:Lber her husband had accused her of infi. delitv. and after the birth of the child, which took place in loil.Migs at Exeter, he filed his petition. Previous to his return, Mr. Appleton disappeared from Budleigh ; oil the suit having proceeded in his absence, the case was Dien against him pro confeaw, the jury awarding 2,0002., against him as damages. The chief evidence against the respondent was the testimony of a surgeon named Webb, who had deposed that the child at its birth was of mature Growth. A new trial was moved for on account of the great prejudice from which the respondent had suffered on account of the absence of the co-respondent, and also on account of the extremely unsatisfactory evidence of Mr. Webb, who had died before the trial, and who had been examined by a commission. The late Judge Ordi vary refused the application, but an appeal wee made to the full court, which consisted of Sir Cromwell Creswell, Mr. Justice Wigbtman, and Mr. Baron Channel. Sir C. treuwell died before the decision of the ooart was pro. pounced ; bat the remaining judges granted a new trial as prayed—this judgment being the only instance in which the ruling of the late Judge Ordinary was reversed by his col loves In the meantime Mr. Appleton, who had gone to America, was found ; and he sent over affidavits stating that he wu not cognisant of the proceedings against him until just before the trial ; that the moment he had heard of them he set off to return to England, but that before he could take ship he was informed of the verdict ; that having left England in the first instance to avoid his cre ditors, he dared not return with a condemnation in damages to such an amount hanging over him ; that be was perfectly innocent of the adultery of which he had been convicted by the jury ; and that his sole motive for leaving Budleigh Salterton was one connected with his pecuniary embarrassments He prayed, therefore, that as there was to be a new trial he might be allowed to appear and answer the petition. This was opposed on the part of Captain Stone, and N:r J. I'. Wilde refused to grant the application unless the co•respondent would give security for the costs of the new trial. Mr. Appleton being unable to do so the case again proceeded in his &boom. [This morning the Queen's Advocate proceeded to open the case, and the examination of witnesses was being Proceeded with when our report left. ] MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.)

From Faun and Kent, the arrivals of wheat fresh up this morning were limited, but in fair average condition. Although the show of samples was trifling, both red and white qualities changed hands slowly, at paces about equal to Monday. At the close of business a total clearanos had not been effected. There was a full image supply of foreign wheat on the stands. Good and fine parcels sold at previous quotations. Otherwise the trade was heavy, at almost nominal cur rencies. Floating cargoes of grain oommanded very little attention, on former terms. Fine barley moved off steadily, at full quotations. Grind ing and distilling sorts were very dull, but not cheaper. Ware malt was firm in price. Other kinds were rather heavy. The supply was seasonably good. There was a steady ale for oats—the imports of which have been on the images—and the quotations were firmly maintained. In beans very little was doing, at late rates. The demand for peas was heavy ; but no change took place in prices. The flour trade was in a sluggish state. The quotations, however, were supported. There was a fair average business doing in cakes, on former terms. Seeds , generally, were a slow inquiry. 1.311743.1-1 T Pktlera. 2301.014. Par Qr. , rWr oa.

Where any alteration is observable in prices it is in an upward direction, but a check is given by the dulness of business. The funds and most other securities remain at yesterday's quotations. Two or three of the home railways are rather better. The discount market is more active to-day, and the rate for choice bills is 6rm, at to 7 per cent. A large amount of East Indian bills have become due to-day, and some Egyptian drafts which mature to-morrow also represent a consider able total. In the Stock Exchange the rate for short loans is 5 to 6 per cent., and the supply of money smaller. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele gram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 66fr. 10c., being bc. lower than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 891, ex div., for money, and 814, " buyers," ex div., for the account (January 10). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Console, for money, 894, 4 ; ditto for account, 894, ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 881, ; New Three per Cents., 84, ; Annuities, 1885, 141 ; Bank Stock, 239 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 103, 102/, 1034 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1866, 9711 ; ditto Bonds, Is., ss. prem. ; and Exchequer Bills, June, 75., 2e. die. Foreign stocks show scarcely any variation. Spanish Passive Bonds are 5 per cent. lower, and Greek 4 higher. Venezuela Bonds of 1804 continue in demand. Some of the present quotations are as follows, viz. :—Greek, 22* to 23,1 ; Mexican, 29/ to ; Confederate, 58 to 60 ; Spanish Passive, 314 to / ; the Certificates, 14 to 4 ; Turkish Bonds of 1858, 71 to 714 ; ditto 1862, 71 to 4 ; and the Consolid‘s, 47 to 4, ex div. Transactions are recorded as follows :—Egyptian, 951 ; ditto 1864, 94 ; ditto scrip, 1 prem. ; Mexican, 29*, j ; ditto 1864, 271, 1 ; Russian, 1862, 871, 861 ; Spanish Passive for account, 314, ; ditto Certificates, for account, 144 ; Turkish, 1864, for account, 871; ditto, 1862, for account, 714 ; ditto, 1001. Bonds, 714 ; Vene zuela, 1864, 434. International Financial shares are now quoted 24 to prem. ; London Financial, 94 to prem. ; General Credit, 21 to 34 premium ; Imperial and Mercantile Credit, 35 to g prem. ; Hudson's Bay, 164 4o 1 ; Ottoman Socidtd G6n4rale, 24 to 4 prem. ; and Anglo-Egyptian Bank, 4 die. to par. Egyptian Loan scrip is quoted 1 to 1 prem. ; Danu bian, 1 die. tel par ; and Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures, 1 toe prem. The Bank of France has reduced its rate of dis count from 6 to 5 per cent., being a more roo- derate rate than has prevailed for some months past. From the rapid improvement which has latterly taken place in the accounts of the French Bank, and more especially from the large increase in the bullion, this move ment had been generally anticipated in Paris, but the promptitude with which it has been adopted furnishes another proof of the desire uniformly manifested by the administration of the Bank to afford the largest possible amount of accommodation to the trade of the country. The relaxation now announced will be received with the more satisfaction on account of the effect it will have in facilitating the commercial settlement at the turn of the year, the amount of which in France is always very heavy. In its direct bearing upon our own interests the measure is likewise to be regarded with satisfaction. The important difference of two per cent. is now esta blished between the minimum rate of the Bank of England and the Bank of France, and the imme diate effect here was a cessation yesterday afternoon of the demand for gold for export to the continent. 42,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank of Eng land yesterday, and more is expected to follow. The immediate features affecting the money market have thus assumed a more favourable appearance, encouraging a belief that we shall be enabled to meet the accruing payments to Egypt and the other new cotton countries with comparative ease, and that the large mercantile engagements maturing at the clam of the year and in the first week of January will be liquidated without entailing the pressure which some persons have been disposed to anticipate. It is notified that in consequence of the nume rous applications for the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Certificates of Debenture, the issue of the letters of allotment, which it was ex pected might have taken place yesterday evening, must be deferred for a day or two, in order to arrive at an equitable distribution. The Spanish Cortes is to meet on the 23rd of the present month, but as this is only • preliminary assembling for a day or two, previous to an ad journment to the new year, it is not likely that so broad a question as that of the general condition t.f the national finances will be grappled with, and in this case it would appear that the holders of Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates must exer cise for a little while longer the patience which they have displayed during so many years. The scrip certificates of the Danish Government Five per Ceut. Debentures are ready for Celivery in exchange for the letters of allotment. About 42,000!. in gold, above stated, was bought by the Bank yesterday. Further amounts are expected to be sent in, there being no in quiry for the continent, while a considerable supply, chiefly American, remains in the market to be disposed of. A revival in the demand for gold for Paris can hardly take place so long as the present disparity (amounting to 2 per cent.) exists in the rates of discount of the Banks of England and France. The strong posi tion of the latter establishment, and the disappear ance of the premium upon goblin Paris, tend to in crease the improbability that, so fares the continent is concerned, any further draughts will be made at present upon our stocks of bullion. The steamer which will leave Southampton on the 12th inst., with a mail for Bombay, will take a fair amount of gold, in addition to some silver. The steamer Magdalena will take to-day only 4,860/. in specie (gold) for Brazil. It is satisfactory to learn that the worst accounts of the home markets have produced little effect upon those of Bombay and Calcutta, where it was reasonable so anticipate that the pressure we bare endured would have reacted with great vio lence. A proof of the immense magnitude of the sums that must have been made in cotton since the commencement of the American war is to be found in the statement that the native shippers of Bombay have sent home by the mail which arrived on the evening of the 6th inst. no less a sum than 160 I lakhs of rupees (1,600,0001.) to enable consignees to hold their shipments. This proof of their confi dence will tend to render merchants in this country less sensitive to the adverse rumours which are occasionally set afloat. The Bombay advice. ac knowledge the receipt of our accounts of the 18th October, when the crisis here was at its height. At a meeting yesterday of the creditors of Messrs. Darby and Co. wholesale grocers, who recently failed, it was a greed to accept • composition of 12s. in the pound. The North Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 4,870/. over last year ; the Midland an increase of 5,8321., and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire au increase of 9191. With reference to the market for American secu rities, Mr. K. F. Satterthwaite reports as follows : The market far Ainerkan Neuritis. le Lowden has been steady derlag the put week, sad quotation, are without ay material change; United States b. 20 Bonds have improved per ant., whilst Illinois shares have given way g per amt.

The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, Dec. 7, compared with that tot the previous week, shows the following changes : Circulation issue Circulation active... .... Public deposits 6,4614,544 biases* 167,342 Other deposits Government securities in banking department 10,474,542 No Amigo Othersocurittes in banking department Coin and bullion in both departments I Seven day and other bill, 478,906 Decrees. .42.010 I The Rest 3.313,944 Increase 27,733 Notes in reserve Total reserve (notes & coin in banking department) . 8,848,484 IDESIMINI 31,660 . • One of the most noteworthy features iu this re turn is the diminution of 474,0311. in the private securities, indicating a continued decline in the Bank's discount baseness, but as this has been ac companied by some large withdrawals of private deposits, while the influx of the revenue during the week has apparently been only moderate, the re serve of notes and coin in the banking department has increased only 31,660/. Inasmuch, however, as the Bank's liabilities to depositors have largely diminished, while the resources in its till, instead 'of declining, have slightly increased, this return is really a better one than ►t appears to be at fiat sight. The coin and bullion Lave again declined, but only to the unimportant extent of 149,=1., though the withdrawal on Monday !ant for export to Egypt comprised 260,000 sovereigns, as before reported.

PERILOUS ADVENTURE OF A BDY.—A singularly thoughtless or foolhardy sot was done by a youth at Marini; Rases, about 14 years of age, named Robert Phunpton, ou the 21st ult. About b o'clock In the evening he was scut by his employes, Ur. John Blow, farmer, of Falding worth,. with a bone and cart to fetch coal from the Wsekenlso station on the Maochester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railw►y. Inateed of taking the highway, he struck in at s crowing, and drove his teem for about ball a mils on the railway motels, and entered Wickenby station is triumph ►t having saved a few hundred yards by the straight cut. Fortun►tely no train premed during that time, otherwise ii• is fearful to conceive she ooesequisseee which must haww• aimed. The lad was taken into custody on the ah and brought before the Rev. D. E.

A MAN IN ♦ COPPER or BOLLING BERR.--OR Friday at Memos Thomas Biafra's, a brewer, about 34 yeah of age, met with a sari misfortune while employed in the Dosshouse of Mr. Hall, landlord of the White bees, !Corti:grate, Newark.
