LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) EQUITY COURT. {Before the Lord Chenoellor.) CORBILTT.-LIJNACY • • " This was a petition on lquacy which bad been heard by the Lords Justices, and their lordships had so much doubt en the question involved that they decided that the opi nion of the Lord Chancellor should be taken. The lunatic was entitled under her marriage settlement to a life estate in certain freehold houses in the City of London, with • power of appointment, which she had never exercised ; and her only child, a son, had sold his reversionary i n terest, and bad since died. A building company having purchased the land adjacent to this property, were de sirous of purchasing tW intenest of the lunatic, and pro posed to secure to her a government annuity of 70:11., being more than 40f. per annum over the income now derived from the estate. The question arose whether the court hadjuriedictios to nnotion the sale on those terms. Hr. Bacon and Mr. Prendergast, for the petition, con- tended that the 116th section of the Lunacy Regu lation Acta, gave a power to the court such as was asked, as the sale would be manifestly for the benefit of the luna tic, and had relation to her future maintenance, which might be improved at the discretion of the court. As at the death of the lunatic the estate would revert to the crown, there were no future interests to be dealt with. Mr. , Wickens, for the crown, offered no objection to any order which might be made. Mr. Green and Mr. Everett, for the building company, supported the petition. The Lord Chancellor said that it was extremely desirable that this order could be made if it was within the com petency of the court, for it would be for the benefit of the lunatic ; and as regarded the building company they acted fairly and liberally, but be was of opinion that he had no jurisdiction, that the Lunacy Regulation Act gave him no power to dispoee of the property of a lunatic in the manner asked, and the petition must be refused. There was, how ever, no reason why it should not be commended, and an order made to effect the object in view under the Settled Estates Act. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) DALE V. DALE AND IeDONNELL. Mr. Serjeent Robinson and Dr. Swabey for the petition ; Mr. Collier, for the respondent ; Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks for the co-resndent. Mr. Alfred James Dale was a medical officer in the India service, formed the acquaintance of the respondent while in this country on sick leave, and in August, 1859, he mar ried her. At that time she was about nineteen years of age, and he about nine years older. They went out to India and lived happily together till 1862, one child having been born in the interval. Mrs. Dale's health soon after began to fail, and she was sent to the Hills. Here she made the acquaintance of the co respondent, Lieut.-Colonel McDonnell, of the 3rd battalion of the Rifle Brigade. Information at length reachefl.the husband's ears that Colonel McDonnell was paying too great attention to the respondent; and letters were lint in in which the colonel, who was a friend of the petitioner, earnestly denied the charge. However, the petitioner sent his wife home to her mother ; but that lady re monstrating with her on account of letters which she was receiving from some gentleman, she left, and evidence was given to show that she had since cohabited with the co respondent, who had in the meantime come to England. The petitioner claimed 3,0001. as damages. The jury, however, found for the petitioner damages 4,500/. Decree nisi, with costa. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commixeioner Goulburn.) IN RD COBB. Thebankrupt, late manager to a brewer, applied for his release from custody. He was detained for costs incurred in an action brought by him against his late employers for wages. This was his only debt. Mr. Bagley opposed the application. The assignees were not yet chosen. His Honour said this was not a case in which he should be in a hurry to interfere. It was a great hardship that when a party was ordered to pay the costs of bringing or defending an action, he immediately came to this court. The law must certainly be altered in this respect, if any. The application must stand over until after the sitting for choice. IN RI DR WEBBEIL-THE TUNBRIDGE WELLS SANITARY . QUESTION. The bankrupt in this case was William Webber, operating surgeon, of Tunbridge-wells. He now applied for him re lease from custody. His detaining creditor is Mr. Charles Trustram, also a surgeon t of Tunbridge-wella, whose debt is 19.1/., who had obtained an award against the bankrupt in an action for libel, arising out of state ments made by the bankrupt in connexion with the sani tary condition of Tunbridge-wells, and in which he charged Mr. Trustram with making improper use of his poxition as a member of the Tunbridge Local Board. The debts are 5771., chiefly law costs. Mr. Reed opposed the application, on the ground that the execution being in an action for libel, the court had no jurisdiction to release. Mr . . Bagley, in support of the application, was prepared to produce medical evidence to show that the longer de tention of the bankrupt it iprison would be dangerous to his life. His Honour was opinion that the words of the act were imperative, " Shall not order the release." Mr. Bagley said it was extraordinary if the cow: had not the power to release in a case of life and death. He had the certificate of Dr. Childs, surgeon to the City police ; Dr. Holden, of St. Bartholomew 'm Hospital ; Dr. Copeland, senior censor of the Royal College of Surgeons ; Dr. IL Cooke, and Dr. Jeaffresoa, of Finsbury-square, who concurred in stating that longer confinement might en danger the bankrupt's life. His Honour was clear that he had no power to interfere, and dismissed the application. Mr. Bagley—lt is a strange proceeding, especially fur one medical man to take against another. Mr. Reed—Not at all ;it is • very natural one. The bankrupt slandered my client and an award was made against him for 251. and 1681. costs. IN RE BREWIR The bankrupt had been an engineer on the South Eastern Railway, earning 125/. a year. He now applied for his discharge from debts of CAC Mr. Reed opposed. The bankrupt had substantially but one creditor, the assignee, whose claim was 6W. for debt and costa. The assignee when abroad had sent some money to the bankrupt to be paid to his mother. The bankrupt ►pplied it to his own use, and when sued by the assignee defended the action, and incurred costs of 40/. Thereupon the bankrupt came to this court. The Commissioner—Just the way with all these pauper litigants ; as soon as judgment is signed against them they come to this court. The bankrupt, examined, at first denied that he was now employed as an engine -driver, but afterwards admitted that he was so. He had bad some shares in the Iron Screw Colliery Company worth 43/. 10s. He had transferred those to his brother, also an eugine-driver, just before his bankruptcy, in satisfaction of a debt due to his brother. Mr. Reed asked for accounts, as to the transaction with the brother, and an adjournment was ordered, his Honour °bearing that the ease bore every appearance of fraud. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) CLERKENWELL. A LINT CHILI). A Toung man, hawing the appearance of a mechanic, applied tothe magistrate for an order to compel the autho nue' of one of the parishes in the neighbourhood of this court to admit an infant to the workhouse under the fol lowing circumstances Applicant rnd his wife went in a pleasure van for a day's outing at Epping Forest, and on the way there they made the acquaintance of a young woman who had swell-dressed infant in her anna. They were all together during the day sad on their return when they got out of the van the young woman asked his wife to hold her baby whilst she RA to a neighbouring publichouse to find her husband. His wife did so, and had had the baby ever since, and as the parish would have nothing to do with it he wanted to how what could be done, as he could not afford to keep the child—little dear as it was—he having a family of his own to support, and very little to support them with. He had made every effort to trace the young woman who left the child with his wife but without success. The Magistrate inquired how it was that the applicant's life, not knowing anything about the owner of the child, &hold have offered to have taken charge of it. The applicant said that, coming up in the van they had 1 9 sang " Love your neighbour as yourself," and his wife dtd not consider that there was any harm in holding the child fora minute or so, but if the loving your neighbour no yourself meant having another man's child thrust on you t° I wl l whether you like or not, then all he could say was that he was done with that sort of thing. (A laugh.) The magistrate asked the applic a nt if he had been to " „ w Police-station in his neighbourhood and given notice that he hail got a lost child. The applicant replied that he had not adopted that °Aloe, as the police wou ld t e ll hi m that the child mold not be lost as the mother knew who it VW with, and if a thing was lost of course you did not know whe-e it was. (A laugh.) All that he wanted to know was what was he to do with the child. It was • little awkward as well, for his wife was to. ,Ylng that she thought he knew more about it than he did ; hut, of course, there was no troth in that. (Laughter.) The magistrate said be could not assist the applicant. THE WEATHER. AND THE CROPB.—In this neigh -1"ril0od (Oxfordshire) we have a thin Crop of wheat and *elk in the straw.

The above match was resumed this morning at 11 o'clock, at Lord's Ground, in the presence of an aris tocratic gathering, exceeding in numbers even that of yes terday. The devices of the ladies in the display of the colours belonging to their favourite party were in many instances very pretty, and many were of • novel character. In some cues the hair was dressed with the dark blue ribbon, in others the chosen colour was worked in the skirts of the dregs, and there was scarcely a sun shade present without • rosette or dreamers Of the light or dark blue attached. The proceedings commenced with the completion of the Eton first innings, the result of which being an addition of 32 runs to the 20 gained yesterday—making a total of 52 against 302, were obtained by the Harrow boys. The Eton Eleven then commenced their second innings. At half-past 12 they secured 75 rune with six wickets down, and were progressing in a satisfactory meaner. The excitement on the ground was very great, and as the several points were made loud cheering followed from the Eton party ; but the Harrovian, have every confidence in their eleven—in whose favour the betting is firm. EXTRAORDINARY DEATH IN THE RIVER LEA. An inquiry was held by Mr. John Humphreys, the Middlesex coroner, last evening, at the Seven Spas Tavern, High-street, Bromley, respecting the death, under circumstances of a very singular character, of a man wham name was unknown. The first witness called was a good-looking woman, of respectable appearance, named Maria Huns, who deposed—l live at No. 8, Charles street, Bromley. lam a widow. Since the death of my husband I have worked at a starch factory two year. On Tuesday nisht at half-past 10 o'clock I was walking across the wooden bridge in Railway-street, Bromley, and when I got near the lamp a man who was a stranser to me rushed at me and struck me a blow. He then said, " You are not the one I want," and he ran away after striking me in the face. He got over a fence and I heard a spied' in the water. I screamed out for help. By the Cororer—l was returning from my brother's at Woolwich at the time. Railway-street is not the nearest way to my house. It is a curious and unfrequented road, but I chose it bemuse it was a pleasant out-of-the-way walk. I crept through the fence after the man. I then screamed and ran down the bank. A Juror—When the man spoke to you why did you not walk on. Why did you run away when the policeman came up? Witnem—l was frightened. I was not on the bank be fore I heard the splash in the water. We did not look on the other side of the fence for some object. Ido not know who the man was. Coroner—Yon have placed yourself in • very awkward position. Police-constable John Tucker, 458 IC, said that on the night in question a boy came to him and said, " Policeman, • woman has thrown something into the water." Upon going to the bank of the river Lea he saw • woman standing on the towing-path with herhands raised. Witness continued—When she saw me she gave a scream, and I turned any bull's-eye on her. She then ran away, and I followed her, and after a chase of about 300 or 400 yards I caught her. I then arrested her, and took her to the police-station, and charged her on suspicion of having caused the man's death. I could not get sufficient evi dence to detain her, and she was discharged. I have ascertained thrt the woman was seen in a public-house with the deceased man in an early part of the evening. ' The man was fully dressed, and had a flower in his button-hole. The body was got out of the water by means of drags. John Hart, fitt, Willis's-street, said that he heard screams on the night of the occurrence as he was standing on the canal bridge near the spot. He saw a woman standing on the river bank, and he went to her. She was much ex cited, and she nearly threw witness into the water, and witness lay down on his stomach on the bridge, awl saw in the darkness • hat floating on the water. The woman screamed, " There is a man in the water, get hint out." Another young man went for the drags, and a policeman came up. The woman ran away when she saw his bull's eye. Witness called out to the constable, "The woman is gone, run after her and bring her back." Thomas Sheller, of Milton-street, said that before he heard the screams he saw the deceased man and the woman standingon the towing-path, and bothhad their arum on the rails. They were in conversation. The decessed was about 35 years of age. He was a fair-haired miui with sandy whiskers, and was about 5 feet 7 inches in height. He was dressed in a black coat and waistcoat, dark check trou..ers, and black hat. Nine shil lings were found in his pocket. At 5 o'clock on the evening of his death he had pledged a coat for a pound, at a pawnbroker's in Bishopsgate. He then gave the name of John Maccave. _ _ _ _ _ The coroner said the ease had a very awkward look, but he did not think that the woman had contributed to the man's death. He did not think the woman had induced the man to get over the railings and then thrown him into the water, but he believed that at the time of the occur rence the woman was in company with the deceased for an immoral purpose. If the jury returned an open verdict the police could reopen the case if they were able to pro cure additional evidence. The jury returned a verdict, That the deceased man came to his death by drowning in the waters of the River Lea, but how or under what circumstances he came into the mid water there was no evidence to prove." SAD OCCURRESCE-LOSS OP TWO LIVES BY DROWNING. Yesterday (Friday) evening, two lads, named John Allden and Isaac Giddy, the former about 111 and the latter about 13, lost their lives under the following dis tressing circumstances. The deceased, who were employed at Mr. Andrews's saw-mills, James-street, Old Kent-road, went, after leaving their work, to the Surrey-canal, for the purpose of bathing, neither of them being able to swun. After being in the water a short time they began amusing themselves by clucking each other, and while doing so one of them got ont of his depth, and in attempting to save himself seized the other and drew him after him, and both sank. An alarm was given, but some little delay occurred before any attempt was made in con sequence of a false alarm having been given the previous evening, and the persons in charge of the hatch thinking it was only a re petition of the scandalous conduct. On the deceased being got out, they were conveyed to Mr. Marling's, the Bri tannia, Britannia-road, near the hatch. Dr. Anderson, of the Old Kent-road, was sent for, and attended, and every means was resorted to to restore animation, but without success. When the sad intelligence was communicated to the mothers of the deceased (both widows, one residing in James-street, and the other in Hatcham-road, Old Kent road) they were, as might be expected, almost broken earted. SERIOUS DISTURBANCE IN WEST CUMBERLAND. There are about 600 men working as navvies at Holborn Hill, Millom, in the west of Cumberland ; and we learn that during the last few days a great number of them have been drinking, the carouse ending on Thursday in a very serious disturbance between English and Irish labourers. The resident policeman telegraphed to Superintendent Little, at Whitehaven, who telegraphed to Mr. Dunne, the chief constable at Carlisle, for instructions. Those were, to proceed at , nce with as many constables as he could get, to the scene of the action. Mr. Little succeeded in collecting a body of thirty men, armed with ent huses, and took them down by the next train. It appears that previous to the arrival of the police, several encounters had taken place between the rioters, and that they had demolished the public house there, first taking out every drop of beer and spirits which it contained and consuming it. As soon, however, as the police arrived at the place, the crowd gave way rapidly. The Rev. A. Wilkin, the resi dent magistrate, was communicated with, read the Riot Act, and swore in a number of special constables to act in conjunction with the police, whilst the ringleaders are being traced out. Fortunately, in the prior disturbances, the conflict seems to have produced no fatality, though many of the combatants are, of course, seriously wounded. —Carlide Journal.

Professor Agassiz says the general impression in regard to the Amazon river is very erroneous, not only in regard to the climate of that region, which he had been informed was unhealthy, but also as to its fertility. He found the valley of the Amazon uncommonly fertile and its climate very healthy. It is his opinion that it will one day become the mart of the world, supporting in comfort twenty millions of inhabitants. THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM.—We are informed that the chairman, trustees, and governors of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum have been promised the munificent donation of 1,000 guineas—from a gentle man who at present desires to withhold his name—for the purpose of erecting an additional winx to the present spacious structure. It is intended that the new wing shall be named after the gentleman, whose unparalleled libe rality on this occasion will enhance his already high repu tation for his strenuous and remarkably successful exer tions to promote the prosperity of the institutions con nected with the trade.—Adrertiorr. . . A 7. , .tmfr ON BOARD THE LoNnos.—At length night Aet in ; hatches were closed down and fastened on the inside. to prevent the water from floating them up ; but still the water came in—first one side, then the other —with every roll. By seven or eight o'clock we were in as great a state of terror as on the previous night, and w:th more cause, for the gale was more violent. The steam was so troublesome that we could not open the lids for a moment to let in air. The sensation in the cabin then was really awful. I never shall be able to convey an idea of it. Imagine what your feelings would be. waiting and expect ing every moment to meet death. Add to that the dismal mond of water rushing in. You could not see it through the cloud of steam and dim lights. and were not sure whether the ship was filling or not : in fact, a foot of water washing to and fro, carrying with it every movable article, strengthened your fears that she was. Then at every heavy roll a woman shrieked. There was one young girl nearly frantic. By 9 o'clock we were in worse state than ever ; when the ship rolled there would be nearly two feet of water in the cabin. It would come in with a rush, then back again to the other shle, carrying with it anything that was not lashed. The boards of the lower berthswerewashed out. and the bedding would drop down, and then, by the roll of the ship. was earned out into the cabin, and there floated about. There was a lady in next state room—about the only one who remained in her berth—and whom I was assisting to prevent her trunks being broken ; both of us up to our knees in water, in which various articles, such as bucket.. pieces of boxes, clothing of every description, apples, books, and papers were swimming. A few of the women were quite collected—talking as calmly as on land. One in particular I remember, Mrs. M—, who had come home in this ship on her last voyage from Melbourne ; she said to me. " I feel as if I never should see land again. I am loth to give up life, but it is not so much on my own account as for those I leave behind. I was marred only two months before leavinr Melbourne. I know my hus band will mourn my death very much. I came home to settle souse property. And another thing I regret very much is. that I have brought this little niece of mine with me "(a nice girl of about 12 or 13 years). " I induces! her father awl mother to let her come with me." " Never mind." says the little niece, " I am happy, aunt, and we I will die together." And I think they did. They were the last whom I spoke to in the oiddy, just before leaving the ' ship. They were then close together, sitting at one of the tables, and the water nearly up to the meat, and not far from the Rev. Mr. Draper.—"A Survivor," in the Cornhill Magazine for July. thra ottoca.
