MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS. On the same motion for going into committee of 'ap ply, there was the usual Friday evening mélange of in congruous subject.. Mr. Verner called attention to the reports of the Inspectors-General of Prisons in Ireland for the last five years with reference to the gran irregularities consequent on the management of certain city prisons by Bs of Superintendence, eliciting a reply hum Mr. C. Forteecue. Sir J. S. Maxwell brought under the notice of the house recent returns relating to the office of the Lord Lyon King at-Arms in Scotland, and pressed the government, besides undertaking necessary reforms in the Lyon Court, to appoint to the vacant office some man distinguished in historical literature, • suggestion which was suppor t by Mr. G. Duff, and to which Mr. Childers replied t ' subject was under the consideration of the government. General Dunne complained of the non-paynient of a sum of 50001. granted for the building and repairing of fishery piers in Ireland ; and Sir J. Palungton related the circum stances attending the recent wreck of the Great Northern on the coast of Lancashire, to which Mr. M. Gibson replied that inquiry was being made, and if the wreck were found to be due to the misconduct of the muter and crew the law would be put in force against them. Mr. BERESFORD-HOPE called attention to a rumour that the Royal Academy has refused a site at Burlington House,and is readyto move to South Kensington, to which Mr. Cowper replied that though he bad no official infor mation of it, he had heard the rumour, and had reason to believe it to be well-founded. A desultory conversation followed, turning on the architectural beauties of Burlington House, the advantages of the Kensing ton site, the wants and constitution of the Academy, and the other vexed questions connected with this subect, in which Mr. Powell, Lord J. Manners , Lord Elcho, Mr. Ayrton, Mr. Gregory, Mr. Bentinck, Sir G. Bowyer, Sir W. Jolliffe, and Mr. Hubbard took pact, Mr. Laysrd intimating that the government were not alto gether satisfied with the decision of the house two years ago on the National Gallery site ; and by Lord Cranborne, who raised the whole question of the expediency of spend ing public money on art collections, which, when placed in an out-of-the-way site like Kensington, could only be luxuries of the rich, and could not be enjoyed by any I great number of the people. HOUSE OF LORDS.-Jula 8. APPEALS. MEMOS? HIV. PAUL CULL= P. THE APPORNIIT OINARAL FOR IRIELAND. This was an appeal from 014411111 deems made on the equity side of the Court of Exchequer in Ireland, in the matter of an information brought by the Attorney- General, in order to recover from the appellant, Arch bishop Cullen, as administrator de horde non of Bridget Fitzgerald, deceased, and also as executor of the Rev. Patrick Joseph Doyle, deceased, legacy duty in respect of • certain residue of personal estate beq ueathed by the will of the said Bridget Fitzgerald, dated 10th February, 1829. The testatrix by her appointed Peter Locke and the Rev. Patrick Doyle her executors, and gave the residue of her property, real and personal, to the Rev. Patrick Doyle and Archbishop Murray, and the survivor and his representatives, requesting that all the intentions expressed in her will might be fulfilled and carried into execution immediately after her decease. The testatrix made several codicils, the object of which was to confirm the dispositions of her will. The testatrix died on the sth May, 1850, and probate of her will was granted to her executors, and the acting one, the Rev. Patrick Doyle, took possession of the assets and disposed of part of the residue, but paid no legacy duty. Arch bishop Murray died in March, 1852, and the Rev. P. Doyle died in December of that year, having by his will be queathed the residue of his property to the appellant, for such religions and charitable purposes as he should think fit, and made him and another person executors. The ap pellant alone took out probate of the will and letters of administration fof the goods of the testatrix, Bridget Fitzgerald, left tmadmm . hatred. The appellant having entered into possesion of the assets of the testatrix, and administered them, was called on by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue to paylegacy duty at 10 per cent. on the residue, the residuary legatees, Patrick Doyle and Archbishop Murray, being strangers in blood to the testatrix. The claim was resisted on the ground that by certain letters written by the testatrix to Patrick Doyle and Archbishop Murray, certain charitable trusts were created, and that, therefore, the residue was exempt from payment by virtue of atatutable enactments in force in Ireland in that behalf. As the alleged letters were not admitted to probate, or alluded to in the will or any of the codicils, nor were they in any way testamentary the Commissioners of Inland Revenue were of opinion that they could not create an exemption from the duty ; and this was the subject of contention in the court below, which unanimously decided in favour of the present respondent ; and hence the present appeal. Mr. Roll and Mr. Bagshawe appeared for the appellant the Attorney-General for Ireland and Mr. Barry, Q.C., of the Irish bar, for the respondent. Their Lordships unanimously held that the decision of the court below was correct, that legacy duty was payable, affirmed thedecree, anddinnissed the appeal with costs. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T. Kindenley.) BE OVERDID, GURNEY, AND CO. Mr. Roxburgh, on the part of the Company, applied that the several petitions for the winding np of its affair, might stand over till the next petition day. The shareholders had held a meeting, and passed resolutions for the volun tary winding up of the company under the supervision of the court. This was considered by all parties, share holders and creditors, • more satisfactory course than a compulsory liquidation ; and as the resolutions would be submitted to a second meeting on Monday next for con firmation, he wished the matter to stand over till after that day. Counsel for the petitioners having expressed concurrence in the application, the matter was ordered to stand over till Friday next. RE THE EUROPEAN RANI. This was a petition for the compulsory winding up of the company. Mr. Bally, for the petitioners, stated that since the pre sentation of the petition an arrangement had been come to at a meeting of shareholders for winding up voluntarily, under the supervision of the court. Mr. Glasse and Mr. Roxburgh represented the (lour way, and asked for an order in accordance with the reso lution of the shareholders. Mr. Locock Webb, on behalf of the Alhambra Company (Limited), who were creditors to the extent of 1,500 f., op posed the application, and submitted that unless a certain arrangement with the parties for whom he appeared was ' carried out in its integrity, the proper course would be a compulsory winding up. The concurrence of other petitioners in the voluntary winding up having been expressed, Mr. Robinson, on behalf of Mr. Cohen, a creditor, claimed that the usual order should be made for a com pulsory winding up. Mr. Roxburgh stated that affidavits had been filed to the effect that the assets of the bank, if duly realised, would not only pay all debts and liabilities, but would leave a surplus to be divided among the shareholders. Mr. L Webb, in supporting the compulsory order, con tended that the directors, in appointing only one profes sional accountant as liquidator, had not acted in accord ance with the notice by which the meeting was convened. The liquidators were Sir R. W. Carden, Mr. G. Brown, and Mr. Whinney. Mr. Glans said that creditors to the extent of half-a million of money were ready to come forward in support of the voluntary liquidation under the supervision of the court, and that course was also approved by the Bank of England and the Bank of France. The Vice-Chancellor could not take the statement of two creditors as indicative of the wish of all, but as the credi tors had the first claim to consideration, it would be well to postpone the case till Tuesday, to give an opportunity, by means of &general meeting, to ascertain the opinion of the majority. Mr. Webb, in that case, would readily submit to the decision of the majority. The matter was adjourned accordingly. RE THE CONSOLIDATED BANE. Mr. Swanston, on behalf of the company, stated that arrangements were pending which would probably result in the bank being able in a few days to re-open its doors. The stoppage of payments had not arisen, as in other cases, by a run , , but from circumstances which were generally known. The Consolidated Bank engaged to take up the business of the Bank of London, but not to make themselves responsible for certain liabilities upon bills of exchange. In consequence of this, some creditors of the Bank of London had filed a bill, and obtained an order under which the Consolidated Bank found that they would have to pay all the liabilities of the Bank of London out of their own assets, and there was no alterna tive but to suspend payment. However, in consequence of arrangements pens 'ling at this moment, and which were only conic to at a late hour on the previous night, it was hoped that if the petitions for the winding up were , allowed to stand over, the bank would be able to resume its business. , At the request of Mr. Bally, who appeared for one of , the petitioners, the question was postponed. LONDON AND PARIS HOTEL COMPANT. This was a petition for winding up by a judgment creditor who had obtained execution. The company, it appeared, had paid the debt the night before ; and on the matter being called, Mr. Robinson, for the petitioner, said that under the circumstances there would be no order upon the petition. (Before Vice-Chancellor Stuart.) RE THE CONSOLIDATED RANK.—RE THE COMPANIES Acr, 1862. In this matter a petition was presented by two creditors of this company, to whom it appeared that the company owed a sum of 1,0001., praying for a winding-up order. The present petition had been duly advertised, and affi davits in support of it were filed on the 29th May. On the 28th May the directors of the company presented a peti tion to Vice-Chancellor Kindersley, praying for a win g . tip order ; and a provisional official liquidator was then appointed. It was now urged in support of the pre sent petition that the other was not in a position to be heard, inasmuch as it had not been properly advertised. Mr. 31alina, Q.C., and Mr. Cracknall appeared for the present petitioners. Mr. Greene, Q.C., and Mr. Swanston appeared for the company, and contended that, as the proceedings under the other petition had been commenced and were still pending before the present one was pre sented, it ought to be transferred to the court of Vice- Chancellor Kinderuley, to be disposed of with the other. Moreover, negotiations were going on for re-opening the bank, which might be materially affected by a winding-up order being now made. It was also said that the company was not unable to pay its debts. The Vice-Chancellor made an order for the winding-np of the company, as prayed by the petition now before him. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-JrNE 8. MUM r. WALKER. This case arose out of the Cornhill burglary. The plaintiff is a watchmaker at Clerkenwell, and the defen dant is also a watchmaker, carrying on business on the pre mises in Cornhill, where the robbery was committed. A few days after the occurrence a man named Roberts brought a watch to the plaintiff to be repaired, and said he would return with another in the evening. The plaintiff saw that the watch was • part of the stolen property, and communicated with the police. The result was, that when Roberts came back he was arrested, and afterwards, in , prison, he said that the thieves would be found at a cer tain eel-pie shop in Whitechapel. The guilty parties having been subsequently apprehended, the plaintiff claimed 2501., the reward offered for such information as would lead to the apprehension and conviction of the guilty parties, and also in respect of the two watches which were re covered, a portion of the further reward of 750/. which was offered for the restoration of the stolen property. At the trial at Guildhall before Mr. Justice Blackburn, the jury found that the sum which the defendant had paid into court for the two watches was sufficient, but as regarded the 2501. the defendant resisted the plaintiff's claim on the ground that the police had not acted on Roberts's infor mation, but upon independent evidence. The jury, how ever, found that the plainti ff was entitled to the reward, and gave him a verdict for 250/. Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Layton now showed muse against a rule which had been obtained on the part of the defendant, on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence.

The adjourned debate upon the motion of the govern- ment for concurring with the House of Commons in ad dresses to the crown for royal commissions to inquire into the elections for Lancaster, Great Yarmouth, Reigate, and Totness ; and upon Earl Grey's amendment in favour of a "wend inquiry into bribery at elections, was resumed by Lord EBURY, who proposed as an amendment to the noble earl's (Lord Grey's) Let proposal, " That the house is not therefore prepared to assent to the address to which its concurrence is eked by the House of Commons, but is ready to join with that house in concerting measures for the suppression of bribery at elections, which, in its opinion is capable of being dealt with on the knowledge it already possesses." Lord GREY repeated his arguments in favour of the ap pointment of a commission to assist parliament in taking steps to repress bribery, and contended that all former in qMies into particular ogees had been productive of evil rather then good. He pointed out that a commission such as he proposed could take eopiisanoe of expenditure at elections, which although not exactly of a corrupting nature, was yet unnecessary, and ought not to be allowed. Lord ROWELL called upon the house to adopt the re solution to concur with the House of Commons in an ad dress to the crown for the appointment of special commis sions, beouue, be said, although they were not bound by the decisions of the other house, yet having before them no measure for the prevention or punishment of bribery, it would be unreasonable to withhold their assent to the institution of proper inquiries. Lord BROUGHAM doubted the efficacy of a commis sion for the prevention of bribery, and thought that the House of Commons had to a great extent the remedy in their own hand& Upon a division, the resolution for the appointment of a commission to inquire into the proceedings at the late election at Lancaster was agreed to by a majority of 77 to 17. Similar resolutions were also agreed to in respect of Gat Yarmouth, Reigate, and Totnes elections. Upon the motion for the going into committee upon the Exchequer and Audit Departments Bill, Lord HELPER moved the reference of the bill to a select committee, expressing his own doubt whether the vesting of the powers and functions of the Audit Board in a single individual would be an advantage to the public. Lord GRANVILLE defended the bill upon the ground that it bad undergone the examination ot'' the roost ex perienced authorities in the House of Commons, and it would, therefore, be desirable that any criticisms passed upon it in this house should be made at its corporate sittings, rather than in a select committee. After a few words from Lord NORTHBROOK, the amendment was negatived, and the bill passed through committee. After the disposal of some other business, their lordships adjourned at 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY, JUNI 8. The SPIAICIR took the chair at a few minutes before !roUhmk. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Aberdare and Central Wales Junction Railway all, the Aldershot Gas and Water Bill, the British and Canadian Telegraph Company Bill, the Downs Docks Bill, the Greenock and Shaw Water Bill, the Greenock Water Bill, the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway (Central Station and Lines) Bill, and the Vale of Crick- Dowell Railway Bill were read a third time and passed. NOTICES OF MOTION. Mr. MILL gave notice that on Tuesday, June 12, he should move for a return of the number of freeholders, householders, and others, in England and Wales, who were excluded from the franchise by reason of their sex. (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. GREGORY gave notice that on Friday, July 0, on going into committee of supply he should call the attention of the government to the evi dence given before the royal commission on railways on the subject of Irish railways. LEICEITER-SQUARE. Mr. WALDEGRAVE•LEBLIE asked the hon. member for Bath whether the Metropolitan Board of Works had any intention of causing the incloeure in Leicester-square to bo turned into a garden or ornamental ground, under the provisions of the Gardens in Towns Protection Act (1863) ; and, if op, how soon the garden would be proceeded with. Mr. TITS said that there were 153 spaces which mud acme under the operation of the act of 1662, of which 26 were extremely neglected, and as Leicester-square was the worst, the Metropolitan Board of Works determined to take it in band at once. In 1664, acting under the advice of counsel, they gave notice of their intention to put the act in force ; they immediately received notice from the owners that they had committed a trespass. An action to settle the question was tried at the end of 1866, and a verdict was taken by consent, reserving the points of law for argument upon a special case. The special case had, be understood, been agreed upon, but it could not be argued until November next, and in the meantime of course the Board of Works could take no steps in the matter. If the judges of the Court of Queen's Bench de cided that the powers given to the Metropolitan Bo.uvi by the act of parliament were not sufficient to authorise them to deal with Leicester-square and similar spaces, it would probably be his duty at some future time to introduce an amending bill into that house in order to wake the act operative. CUPOLA SHIPS. In reply to Mr. O'BEIRNE, Mr. T. G. BARING said that the Admiralty had. in accordance with the recommendation of a report upon cupola ships, determined to fire at one of the turrets of the Royal Sovereign, but the details of the experiments bad not yet been settled. THE SCOTCH AN!) IRISH REFORM BILLS. it F. HEYCIATE asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer when he intended to proceed with the second reading of the Scotch and Irish Reform Rills. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not pre pared to fix a day for the consideration of these hills, but he did not think it would be an early one. Mr. WHITFAIDE asked whether the right hon. gentle man would promise not to proceed with these bills until the English measure was disposed of. The CHANCELLOR of theIEXCHEQUER said that he was not prepared to enter into any absolute engagement upon the subject, but at present the intention of the go vernment was to persevere with the clauses of the English bill, and not allow the Scotch or Irish measures to inter fere with its progress. (Hear, hear.) THE CAPTURE OF PROPERTY AT SEA. Mr. GREGORY, repeating • question which he had asked on a previous evening, inquired of the rmier.Secre tary for Foreign Affairs whether by the mercantile code of I the kingdom of Italy the capture of an enemy's merchant ' vessels had been abandoned by the Italian government in all eases in which similar concessions should have Peen made to Italy, and whether the principle of the immunity of private property from capture at sea had also ben re cognised by Austria and Prussia. Mr. LAYARI) said that, as he told his hon. friend the other night, the Austrian and Prussian governments had issued declarations announcing their willingness to exempt merchant vessels of belligerents from capture. He was then unable to say whether the maritime law of Italy would enable the Italian government to take a similar course, but he had since learned that it would. THE JAMAICA COMMISSION. In answer to Mr. GILPIN,. Mr. CARDWELL said that the report of the Jamaica Commission and the minutes of the oral evidence which were brought home by the commissioners were so volumi nous that although he had got the greater portion he bad not yet received the whole of them from the printer. The documents which were brought home subsequently by the aecretary were being prepared for publication by that gen tleman and the commissioners, and had not yet reached him. He hoped that the report and appendices would be printed and circulated about the early part of the week after next. Major KNOX—Has the right hon. gentleman taken any steps with reference to the bill of indemnity ? Mr. CARDWELL—No. The time for that will he when the government have received and considered the whole of the evidence. LORD CLARENDON AND THE BELGIAN PRESS.- PERSONAL EXPLANATION. On the motion that the SPEAKER should leave the chair in order that the house might go into supply, Mr. DISRAELI took occasion of the motion for going into committee of supply to revert to the charges which hp made the other night against Lord Clarendon's conduct at the Conference of Paris, particularly in reference to the Belgian press, and read from the protocols to show that be had been guilty of no eiagrration, quoting also from a speech of Mr. Gladstone, still more condemnatory is it' tone. THE PRINCIPALITIES. Mr. D. GRIFFITH vat some questions as to the course which the conference on the Danubian Principalities is taking in reference to the expresied wishes of the Moldo lYallachian population ' prefacing them by a slight sketch of the history of the Principalities and of the arrange ments of the treaty of Paris. He examined at length the motives of the population for desiring a foreign prince, quoting a pause from a speech of Mr. Gladstone's in this sense, made eight years ago, and recommended a close union with France in this matter. _ Mr. LAYARD controverted much of Mr. Griffith's history, and entered into an elaborate narrative of the diplomatic transactions in relation to the Principalities to show that the suzerainty of the Porte over them had been recognised by all the great powers, and that they were bound to choose a native-born subject for their H For that reason the powers had ordered their cons7rstd to recognise Prince Charles of Hohenzollern. He main tained that the Porte had a right to interfere to prevent an infraction of the treaties, but the British government had advised the Porte to act with the greatest moderation, and not to run the risk of involving the Principalities in war by an invasion. He had no official information that Turkish troops had crossed the Danube. Sir J. WALSH expressed a hope that our treaty en gagements would not involve us in anything beyond giving advioe. SUPPLY. The motion for going into supply was withdrawn. THE INCREASED ANNUITY TO THE PRINCESS ILLRY OF CAMBRIDGE. The report of the resolution for granting an increased annuity to the Princess Mary of Cambridge was brought up and agreed to. THE REFORM BILL On the order for going into committee on this bill, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did not propose to proceed with the bill that night. They had - iondeavoured to have it brought on, but the fates had been against them. (A laugh.) Under those circum stances the committee would be taken on Monday. Mr. BOVILL wished to know whether any further in- formation was likely to be laid upon the table of the house with respect to the franchise portion of the Reform Bill—also with reference to the disfranchising and enfran chising clauses. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said with respect to any further returns that might be called for, they were not prepared in his department. Perhaps the hon. and learned gentleman would apply to the depart ments in which the returns were prepared, or if he made known to him the particular returns he required, be would endeavour to procure them. The order for going into committee was then postponed until Monday. COURT OF CHANCERY (IRELAND) BILL. The house went into committee pro forms on this bill. CARRIAGE AND DEPOSIT OF DANGEROUS GOODS BILL This bill was reed a second time and ordered to be corn. =Med. STANDARDS OF WEI . GI7II, MEASURES, AND COINS BILL.

The house having, on the motion of Sir C. O'Loninzar, gone into committee on this bilL The preamble was then postponed. The schedule of the bill and the preamble were then agreed to and the house resumed. The house adjourned at five minutes to 1 o'clock. THE THEATRE IN ROPE.—We read in a Florence letter, published by the Arenir !Calton& : —"A drama was being acted at the Capranica Theatre on the eve of a fast day, which is supposed to begin at midnight. But the piece was long, and only three acts had been played when the manager came forward and announced, in the name of the cardinal supervisor of theatres, that the public must withdraw, as the hour of mortification had arrived. The whole house was immediately in a tumult, and cries of The fourth act," We do not want to fast,' We are in a theatre and not in a monastery,' &c., were heard on all sides. The police officers at last yielded to the clamour, and the piece was played to the end without interruption. This popular success will have its significance in the eyes of those who know how tenacious of their privileges are the Roman authorities." A litcr. Lorreny. —A correspondent of the Arenir N0., , ,•t0/ mentions that the lotto, or authorised lottery, in Rome. produces a considerable revenue to the Pontifical government. "It is closed (he adds) on certain fixed days, and remains so until the drawing, but imme diately after the tern of legal gambling has expired, the petty or sub-lotteries spring up like mushrooms. The other day the contractor of one of these had the impudence to offer a young girl as a prise to be raffled for. The tickets were all taken, but the affair was thought so scan dalous as to warrant the intervention of the police." GRAY'S INN. —Last evening the grand day of Trinity Term was celebrated by the members of the society in their ancient hall.

MANCHE,IER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY. —At a special meeting of this company, held yesterday, at Manchester, the Central Station and Linea (Manchester) Dill was formally approved by the share holders present, with one dissentient. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORHS.—At theweekly meeting of the board yesterday, Sir John Thwaites in the chair, Mr. Savage introduced a deputation from the vestry of Islington—the deputation being headed by Mr. Alder man Look, 31.

On the motion of Mr. Savage, the memorial was remitted to the streets committee for con sideration. The other business transacted was of no public interest.

COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUBBB.—Join & (Before the Chief Justice, the Chief Baron, and the Judge O►dinaryJ .. HMO W. Tag SHS " PRINCJIBB After our report left yesterday, Mrs. Ayres identified Tarim , letters which her mother had written to the Prince of Wales, and some of which she (witness) had herself left at Carlton-house. These documents were of a very singular character. They were couched in rhapsodical terms, and contained complaints of distress, prayers for assistance, protestations of devoted loyalty, and statements of whet she bad done to serve his royal highness in the affair of Col. Wardle and Major Dodd. The court, however, inti mated that it did not consider them material. The Attorney-General then put in a letter written to the Prince of Wales by the Rev. Mr. Grove, of St. Margaret's, Westminster, who stated that he had made Mrs. Serres' acquaintance, in consequence of having been applied to by the petitioner to prepare her for confirmation. He mentioned that Mrs. Serres ro peared to be in deep distress, and informed his highness that she had s hown him attestations of her birth, which proved her to be the daughter of the Duke of Cumberland by Mrs. Payne, the wife of Captain Payne, who was abroad at the time the aequaintancebetween her parents commenced; that the lady was born at Warwick Castle, and that the attestation of her birth had only come into her possession at the death of Barl of Warwick. Witness explained that Dr. Wilmot had a sister Olive who was married to Captain Payne, and that she was the only Olive Wilmot known to the family. When, therefore, it was found that her mother was the child of the Duke of Cumberland and Olive Wilmot, it was erroneously assumed that that Olive Wilmot could not have been any other than Olive Payne. The Attorney-General—But your mother must have known from the papers in her possession how the fact was, and Tet she countersigned this letter of Mr. Grove. Witness—My mother was always doing things like that. (Laughter.) The Attorney-General then put in s. letter of Mrs. Serres to the Prince on the 12th of September, 1817, wherein, after stating, in reference to an intended voyage of his royal highness, that she had studied the occult arts, and that the watery element should be avoided by him, she begged him to " consider the situation of his late uncle's natural daughter in London," who "in every trial had maintained her sexual dignity." Witness—l can explain that. At first not even the Duke of Kent was aware that he was legitimately entitled. He knew that there was a royal marriage force in 1772, and he never gave it a thought that it did not exclude her as a legitimate branch of the royal family. The Attorney-General pointed out that the papers which were shown the duke in terms asserted the Princess Olive's legitimacy. The learned gentleman then put in another letter dated 31st of October, addressed to Mr. Fielding, the Bow-street magistrate, making some com plaint, and stating that she was a natural daughter of the Duke of Cumberland ; as she had proofs that his royal highness had had her 'by a sister of Dr. Wilmot, who was a lady of large fortune, under a promise of marriage, which accounted for the anger "Junius " displayed at the duke's marriage with Mrs. Horton. Winer—That is the same error I told you of. The Chief Justice read a certificate of Dr. Wilmot, referring to the mother of Mrs. Series as his daughter. Witness—But that was in the sealed packet, which was not opened till afterwards. The Attorney-General—That is quite true as regards what I may term the Polish papers. There is, however, another certificate, which the witness has sworn this very morning her mother saw in 1815, and in which Dr. Wil most speaks of the lady he married to the Duke of Cum berland as his daughter. • Witness—But it does not elate who that daughter was. (Laughter.) The Chief Justice—His daughter can't have been his sister. The Attorney-General—lt mentions her as " Olive, Duchess of Cumberland, my dear daughter." Another letter of Miss Serres to the Prince was put in, and in that she spoke of herself as having the blood of his royal highness, " though ever so illegitimately," flowing in her veins. The Chief Justice—lt is only right to observe that if she thought herself the daughter of Mrs. Payne she must have considered herself illegitimate. The Attorney-General (to the witness)—Your mother had documents in her possession stating that Dr. Wilmot had married Olive Wilmot to the Duke of Cumberland did she suppose, do you think, that he had married his own married sister to the Duke of Cumberland? Witness—Certainly not. The Attorney-General—Then how could your mother imagine that she was the daughter of Mrs. Payne? Witness—Because some person had told her that there was no other Olive Wilmot than Olive Payne. The court rose before the conclusion of the petitioner's cross-examination. THE POLICE COURTS MABYLKBONE. Harriet Ellen Allen, aged 33, the address given, 20, Cumberland-street, Pirnliw, who said she was • mil liner, was brought up on a warrant in the custody of Sergeant Palmer, of the Scotland-yard detective police, on the charge of wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. George Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, appeared to pro secute ; and Mr. Wilding, of Tichbornc-street, Edgware road, for the defence. It may be remembered that a week ago the prisoner gave a gentleman named Alexander Mosely, a dentist, who re. sides at 16, Sunderland-terrace, Bayswater, into custody, for an alleged outrage upon her in &carriage on the London and North Western Railway, on which charge he was acquitted. A summons was subsequently applied for against the now prisoner for perjury, but she having got out of the way a warrant was granted for her apprehen sion, and she was now brought up. Mr. Alexander Mosely gave evidence contradicting the statement of tho prisoner upon the former re-examina tion. After some evidence had been given to show that the accused did not reside at the address she had named, and that • man named Williams had recently been living with her, Montague Dyer who said he resided at 24, Leader-street, Chelsea, was next called, and swore he had known the prisoner for two years and a half, and for two years of that time she had cohabited with him so his wife. Mr. Lewis said he was not prepared to finish the case that day, and Mr. Mansfield granted a remand, and re fused to allow the prisoner to bail.

IMPENDING STRIKE IN THE WELSH COLLIERIES. —The colliers of South Wales have commenced an agita tion for an advance of wages, and several masa meeting, of the men have been held on the mountains in the neigh bourhood of the Rhondda Valley. The colliers maintain that u the demand for steam coal is so brisk, and high prices are maintained, they are entitled to share in the prosperity of the trade by a rise in their wages ; but, on the other hand, it is held that the men have been benefited equally with the masters in this improvement through the increased and more regular work they , have obtained. The employers are unanimous in declining to grant an advance at present, and it is generally agreed that with a monetary panic at home and war impending on the continent, a more inopportune moment could not have been chosen for making the application. Several of the colliery owners have suffered through the panic in the I money market, and unless confidence is soon restored it is I the opinion of many who have had a long connexion I with the South Wales coal trade that it is not improb able that a reduction in wages will before long have to be submitted to.
