Dr. Spicks appeared for the petitioner ; Dr. Wunbey and Mr. Day for the co-respondent. The Rev. Francis Spedding, curate of Shiffnal, Shropabiee, sued for • divorce on the ground of his wite's adultery with the co-respondent, Dr. Thomas Eaton Lander, of the same place ; and he also claimed the sum of 2,0001. as damages. The respondents pleaded not guilty. The parties were married in 1846, and they had bad four children. Mrs. Spedding's last confinement was on the 4th of October, 1860. After this she had an illness, during which she was attended by the co-respondent. An intimacy thus sprung up between them , which ended in an elopement oc the 4th of the following May. The Rev. Henry Cunliffe, vicar of Shiffnal, said he bad held that cure for about ten years. Mr. Spedding was curate of the parish, and had been so for five years before witness went there. Dr. Lander was a mediae' me in the town, and was the attendant of Mr. Spedding's family. Recollected Mrs. Spedding eloping with the co-respondent. Previous to that time she had appeared to live happily with her husband. On Friday, the 3rd of May, 1861, Dr. Lander came to witness and said he wished hire to know of a step which he was about to take, and which he knew would cause witness great surprise and pain. He stated that be had formed so attachment with Mn. Sped ding ; that is was reciprocated, and that they were going to obtain a divorce and be married. Replied that such a thing was impossible. The conversation continued for some time, the co-respondent treating the matter very coolly and as a matter of course. Told him what misery tt would cause, and urged on him to abandon his design by every motive human and divine. Reasoned with him on ' the wickedness of the step, and reminded him that as • medi cal man the utmost confidence had been reposed in him. The co.respondent said he had had an interview with Mr. Spedding that morning. Told him that it was not too late to give up the project and let Mrs. Spalding be taken charge of by her own family an friends. He still persisted. and the respondents eloped on the following day. Dr. Lander immediately &Rewards returned to Shiff nal, hadeg,as he said, left Mrs. Spedding at RhyL He saw wittier on the follow ing Sunday. Told him that be could not conceive what was the object of his visit, as the step he had taken was irre parable ; but said that the beat thing he could do would be never to see Mrs. Spedding again. He replied that the felt in honour bound to her. Reminded him that be bail a wife and family of his own, and that both hie duty and his honour lay in a different direction. He again said that the intended to obtain a divorce and be On the following day he wrote to witness the letter pro duced. [This was read. In it lender said that he was willing to give up the respondent, if her friends would receive her, and that be had resolved to put the case in the hands of Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and be guided by the learned civilian 's advice.] Never saw Mts. Spedding at Shiffnal again. Dr. Lauder resumed his practice for • short time ; then he disposed of it to Mr. Proctor, sold off his effects, and left the town. _ _ Cross-examined—The co-respondent told him that while in attendance on Mn. Spedding he found his sentiments change to her, and told her that he could not continue to be her medical man, because he felt attached to her. She thee wrote him a letter. Witness told him he ought at once to have burned it. Thought Dr. Lauder's conduct is coming to witness very extraordinary, and should not have listened to him had be not thought that in his capacity of clergyman of the parish he was bound to do so. -Believed that Mr. Spedding had private property. His curacy was 1201. a year. Evidence of an adulterous cohabitation between the parties at the Exeter-WI Hotel was given. Edward Fur mage, • police -officer, accompanied the petitioner there. The petitioner was very much excited when he saw the co-respondent He called him • scoundrel, and would have struck him with his (the doctor's) stick, if he (witness) bad not stepped between them. Afterwards he saw Mrs. Spedding, and asked her why the had left him? She said, " You know why. You have never treated me like • husband or • gentleman." He replied that he had always treated her well. He asked her if she had slept with Dr. Lander, sod she said she had. The petitioner said he should take her boxes. She made DO resistance. Dr. Lander said, " You can claim her luggage—do you wish to take Mrs. Speddiog back?" Mr. Spedding said, "Certainly not. She will never come back to me again. ' Dr. Lander said, " Yery well, that is all I care for." Dr. Lander and Mrs. Spedding then left in • cab together. Before going away the respondent, gave the chambermaid • night shirt and night dress, which were produced. They were marked "L Speddiog" and "F.. Lander." A number of the corespondent's letters to the respondent, which bad been found in the luggage seized at the hotel, were also reed. In these document, the doctor suggested that they should represent the affair to be broken off, in order that he might with greater facility dispose of his practice ; after which be promised to devote himself wholly to her, and take her to Australia.

BRUTAL ASSAULTS ON TWO FINALES. - George Freeman, a eotataarcial traveller, was charged with being drunk and violently moulting Mrs. Jane Roberts, at Colemanstreet, St. Luke's. He was also charged on a warrant by police-constable Hugbarman, 163, one of the warrant officers of the court, with assaulting hie wife, Louisa Freeman. Last night the prisoner, who was the worse for liquor, went to Coleman-street and wanted to force his way into the complainant's house. She stood in his way, when the pri soner, without any provocation, kicked her in the stomach and rendered her for some Unit, insensible. The assault on his wife occurred last week. In that case the prisoner was very drank, assaulting his wife by striking her on the head, face, and body. She got him to bed, and when he bad been asleep some time he got up again, ill-treated her, and went ontinto the street. She followed him and then he beat her on the body. The wife stated that she did not wish to hurt him. He wns a good husband when he was sober, and bad good em ployment. When he was at Canterbury he cut his throat whilst in a date of intoxication. . _ ..--- Mr. Barker sentenced the prisoner to four months' hard labour, without the option of a fine, for the smolt on Mrs. Roberta. At the expiration of that sentence he would have to find two sureties in the sum of 201. each to keep the peace for a further term of six calendar months. The prisoner, who seemed surprised at the declaim, was then removed. _____ WORSHIP-STREET. ICITSUORDINARY AMAULT UPON CHILDREN. Charles Jones, 1 Hemmed lighterrnan, was charged with the following shameful &molt upon two boys, aged five and seven years. The defendant appeared upon his bail the case having been partly heard on the previous day, and adjourned for the attendance of the children, then in bed at their homes. The evidence on the first occasion was as follows : Emma Thoroughgood examined—About 7 o'clock last evening I wu at my window, opposite the Regent's canal, near Whitmore-bridge, Horton, and observed little Saunders and little Wheeler on a barge paring down the water. Suddenly the defendant, who was also in the barge, laid hold of the former boy (the eldest) and moused him in the water. He did this three times, and on the last occasion let him go. I and several others screamed, and then the man got hold of him again after he bad been pad dling about a minute, gave him a smack of the face, and let him go. Ofiroline Platt corroborated this statement, adding, " He dipped one boy before he touched Saunders, and asked him how he liked it." Elf; did not see defendant put my boy into the water, but I did see him pull him out ; the child was dreadfully frightened, and jumped off at the bridge hole. After that he ducked Saunders three times, loosed hold of him, amid getting him again, struck him and threw him off like a dog ; there was a third boy, who sprang off the other side of the barge and got up a bank. Not either of them were present, as it was compulsory that they should lie in bed while their clothes dried. Mr. Cooke said that he would have the children before him, and for that purpoee remanded the defendant upon good bail, be not denying the charge, but alleging that he had been provoked to it by the boys having pelted him with stones. Austin, 244 N, stated that about 8 o'clock on the evening in question, he was near Kingsland bridge, when he observed between two and three thousand persons in • state of great excitement on the towing path, and as near as they could get on the other side to Mr. Booth's stoueyard, where the defendant had taken refuge from the indignation of the mob who, he (witness) heard, bad pelted him all the way from Whitmore-bridge. He had concealed himself beneath a pile of stones and claimed protection. The disturbance bad lasted nearly an hour, and it was • great wonder defendant was not killed. Witness now added that he believed the complaining parties were not in attendance, although they had promised to be so. Defendant (apparently now very penitent) assured the magistrate that the thing had 00011 settled with the children's parents—they had received compensation, and given • receipt.—Three men swore that they had seen some boys throwing stones at the de fendant in the barge; and one of these witnesses, • bargeman named Marney, said that it was • constant prac tice all along the course of the canal ; some more mis chievous than others would hold bricks and pieces of granite over the bridge side, and drop them when • barge was pairing through. Witness urged that such things did not drop the less weighty from • child's hand than from that of • man ; he had been once injured in the head through the practice. Mr. Cooke observed that such practices, if they existed, were of course highly blameable and punishable, but the offenders laid hold of should be of years far above the children upon whom defendant had now sought to vent his spite and fury. Moreover, be had no right to take the law into his own hands; it could not be tolerated, and but for these boys' parents, probably persons to whom • little money was • area object, having compromised the outrage, which was much to be regretted, be (Mr. Cooke) would assuredly order an imprisonment of six months for each assault. Defendant was then discharged, it being shown that 11. bad settled the mater. The children got on the barge by invitation of the defendant. HAMPSTEAD. lON 01 , A NOTORIOUS BURGLAR. This morning, George Smith alias Jobe Buckingham ' who first gave hie address York-street. Blackfriars-road, a fish monger. and JoAn Curtis, of 24, York-street, London-road, a master boom, were charged before Mr. R. Prance, Smith with being in the parlour of a gentleman's house for the purpose of committing felony, and Curtis, who had a pony and cart, with being concerned in the attempt. Mr. Cooper, of Belsize-place, Hampstead-raid, deposed —About eight o'clock in the morning I was in my back yard, and hearing a slight noise I looked through the win dow, and saw Smith is my parlour. He was in a stooping position. On my going into the house the prisoner ran out, and before I c ou ld get into the street he had disappeared. From what I heard I went into • public-house and found the prisoner in front of the bar drinking. I said to him, " What bueiners had you in my parlour I" He replied " I have not been there . " I then requested the landlord to look after him, while I returned to see if anything had been stolen ; and I also aent for • policeman. Although I had lost nothing, from what the policeman stated, I gave the prisoner into custody. Police-constable Churchill, 107 8, said he saw Smith leave Mr. Cooper's house, and thought he was in that gentleman's employ. Having been informed that be was not he went to the public-house and took him back to Mr. Cooper's. He searched him, and as he did not find any thing particular on him, Mr. Cooper would not charge him. Not being satisfied with the manner sod the appearance of the prisoner, be got into a carrier's cart that was panting, wrapped himself up ins sack, watched prisoner into Rosalyn street, where he was joined by Curtis with a pony and cart. He saw the prisoner get into the cart, which was driven away at • furious rate. He ran after it, and overtook it in the Hampstead-road, and took the prisoners into cus tody. Police-sergeant Gardiner, 6 8, said he had his attention called to Smith by the lest witness. Ile watched him, and saw him joined by Curtis, with a pony and cart. In High street Smith went to the cart and took out a coat, which be put on. He then went up the street and returned ioa shorttime. As he passed where Curtis less standing with the pony and cart, Curtis turned the pony rotted and followed him. When at the corner of Downahire-hill Curtis whistled to Smith, who stopped and both then got into the cart and drove off. 'Witness with Churchill ran after the cart and stopped it. Oa his telling Smith that he would be charged with being in Mr. Cooper's house for the purpose of committing felony, Curtis said he knew nothing of Smith, who had asked him to give hint aride and he was doing eo. Mr. Inspector Webb, S division, said that he saw Curtis at the Hampstead Police-station. Curtis said that lie was a tradesman, and bad come to Hampstead on bushiest, and that Smith, whom he had never seen in his life before, asked him for a ride, and he was giving him one when ap prelluded. Police-constable Coleman, 63 if, said he bad known Smith, whine proper came was Buckingham, since be was a boy. He had been in custody more than twenty times, and bad been several times convicted of felony. Curtis was also a convicted thief, and was living with Buckingham's mother. The last time Curtis was convicted was for inciting children to rob their employers ' he receiving the stolen property. Since be had come out of prison the police had been em ployed to watch him, as his house was infested with thieves and he was well known as the trainer of young thieves. Curtis—Well done! Who can have a better character than that. (A laugh.) Mr. Prance—You had better allow the constable to give his evidence. You will then have an opportunity to say what you please. . after such an excellent character, I think I b e ,) b e tt er hold my tongue and say nothing. Mr. Inspector Webb asked fora remand, as it was thought that the prisoners had committed robberies in different parte of the town. _ _ _ _ The prisoner s , who mode no &hook wen remanded until Tuesday next.

DESTRUCTION OP THE GREAT STEAMSHIP INDIAN EMPIRE BY PIBB. This (Thursday) morning, About 1 o'clock, the whole of the metropolis was illuminated by the burning of the fine steamship Indian Empire, the property of Messrs. Poison, of Nicholas-lane, City, Lad Hull, classed A 1 at Lloyd's,2oo feet long. For some time pest thermal hadlieen undergoing repairs in the shipyard of Messrs. Liogler, of the Lower Dockyard, or water-gate wharf, at Deptford, and only on the previous day she was taken into the middle of the river, and moored opposite Messrs. Mare's. About mid night some of the Thames policeofficers, whilst rowing their galley along the Thames, overheard one of the men left in charge of the ship tell some one to be sure and call him at five o'clock in the morning. The police then rowed along the stream, but before they had reached Lime/Louse they saw unmistakeable signs of the outbreak; and on rowing back again they found that the lamp room, which was situated on the deck, was on fire. Every attempt was at once made to extinguish the flames, but not the least impression could be made upon them. Thou mends of tons weight of water were thrown by the engines into the burning vessel, in spite of which the fire continued to spread until it had detroyed the bulwarks, and the paddle wheels. After a lame of eight hours the flames began to succumb, but the once noble vessel is almost destroyed. The owners are believed to be insured at Lloyd's, bat for what amount is unknown. ANOTHER TERRIFIC EXPLOSION AT THE BETHNAL•GREEN LUCIFER MATCH MANU FACTORY.--(THIS DAY.)-SEVERAL PERSONS SHOCKINGLY INJURED. This morning, shortly after 11 o'clock, another terrific explosion took place at Messrs. Letchford's patent match manufactory, whereby several men were shockingly mutilated by a quantity of liquid phosphorus. It seems that after the explosion yesterday morning temporary sheds were erected by the side of the ruins, and this morning, while three of the men were at work, a terrific explosion took place in the debris, which was scattered in every direction round the premises. The three men were hurled a considerable distance, and were found bleeding from lacerated wounds oo the arms, face and body. They were at once placed in a van belonging to the firm, and removed to the London Hospital, where they were found to be in • sad state, being covered with phosphorus, which was burning into their flesh. _ _ Mr. Dyte7, the house surgeon, and his staff of assistants, promptly removed the clothes from the injured men, who were attended to and placed in separate beds. The terror and alarm in the neighbourhood of the *wood explosion in such a populous district may be snore easily imagined than described, as there were such a number of young persons of both sexes on the premises, whither the parents rushed to uoertain if any of their offspring had been injured. The fireeugines were quickly at work, but from the amount of combustibles in the ruins, sometime must elapse before all danger can be arrested. At one o'clock thousands of persons had assembled round the exterior of the premises. A body of the K division, under the direction of Inspector Griffin, were is attendance. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

CHARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST A LEEDS MANU r•crunim.—A charge of forgery sp inet • Leeds OWN. cheat and manufacturer we. before the Leeds magistrates yesterday. The ease excited amide. rabbi interest. The defendant, Mr. Alfred Teak, who is dated to be in • large way of business, wr charged with forging an &montane@ for 321, 12e. The bill was paid into the bank of Mims. Beckttt and Co., Leeds ; the acceptance was that of • tradesman at Helper. The evidence of the tradesman and of hie son were very con flicting, the latter alleging that the handwriting was like his fatlim"s, while the former asserted the direct contrary, and the defence was a complete vindication of the character and position of the defendant At the conclusion of the ages, the bench discharged Mr. Teak, a decision which was received with applause ; at the same time they stated that Messrs. Beckett acted with great circumspection and prudence before the charge was formally made. The ease bad, it should be said, undergoes a long preliminary invessigation. ORDINARY ORALS AND STOCKS.

Marke Valley are called 9# to # ; Wheal Seton, 130 to 132# • Great Wheal Fortune, 281 to 24 ; East Cando]; 44} to 45 ; and South Phoenix, 31 to 1. St. John del Rey, United Mexican, and Scottish Australian mining shares are all firm, with a fair demand. _ - A meeting of the Mariquital and New Granada Mining Company will be held on the 31st inst. The half-yearly meeting of the Dun Mountain Copper Mining Company is called for the 30th inst., when a special resolution will be proposed. empowering the directors to raise additional capital "in case of need." The first general meeting of the Santa Barbara Gold Mining Company is called for the 6th of Angina, at Liverpool. At the adjourned special meeting yesterday abbe Don Pedro North del Rey Mining Company it was unanimously resolved " that the directors be re quested to exercise their powers under the articles of association authorising them to purchase or take upon lease any mines or mineral lands in Brazil, in such a manner that they may deem to be for the benefit of the general body of shareholders." At the St. John del Rey Mine (special) meeting yesterday it was unanimously resolved " that the directors be authorh.ed to purchase the property referred to in Mr. Gordon's letter, addressed to the managing director, dated May 31, and that the same be paid for out of the reserve fund." CIASAIIS ow FOREION TEADL —This morning wee Weed the report of the select committee appointed to eissidar the beat mode of obtaining statistical information sweating the foreign Undo of the United Kingdom and the of the charges imposed on it by the Customs Act 7 11 18 r The principal offioen of customs are of opinion that the system of collecting statistical information hoe bean imgeeved by the operation of those charges, bat the mer maids witnesses are of exactly UN contrary opinion, and the blatimooy of the latter unaeimonsly declares the charges tin operate in an obstructive, vexations, and expensive way ups trade and commerce. The Chancellor of the &Ae gis% it appaaes, distinctly told the committee that the =pie the tax on imports may be regarded se ahem , It yields about 138 OWL per annum, and the tax as exports about 48,0001.—insignificant sums,the oanunittes think, ennsideriag the annoyance they cause. The conunitleis are, therefore, of opinion " that these small chews on commerce are unwise and inexpedient, and recommend their M▪ IA ice." k• i p.a. 101 1001 MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) FRESH REDUCTION IN THE BANK BATE OF DISCOUNT. Two o'Ctocs. The directors of the Bank of England have this day reduced the minimum rate of discount from 211 to 2 per cent. This measure not having been fully anticipated, has given an impulse to the funds, which have ex perienced a fresh rise of 1 per cent. There is also an improvement in several of the principal English railways, particularly Great Western and London and South Western. The tendency of the stock markets generally is favourable. The scrip of the New Portuguese Loan is firm, at 11 to 11 prem. Consols are officially marked 93, 921, and 934 for money, and 93 for the account. The present quotations are 934 to 1 for money, and 981, "sellers," for the 7th of August. The official business report is es follows :-Bank Stock, 237 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 934, 93 ; New Three per Cents.,93l, 93, 4, ; NewTwo-and a-Half per Cents., 76 ; Thirty Years' Annuities, 1885, 151 ; India stock, 227 ; ditto live per Cent. stock, 1081, 1071 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1863, 1004 ; ditto Bonds, 29e. prem. ; Five per Cent. "refaced" rupee paper, 1031, 104 ; Exchequer Bills, 175., 205., prem. The foreign stock market is rather active, but prices in this department have not received much impulse from the Bank action. The Turkish Loan of 1854 is quoted 841 to 854, being slightly better ; that of 1858, 73 to 1 ; Spanish Certificates, 94 to 1; Egyptian scrip, 81 to 94 prem. ; the scrip of the new Turkish Loan, 11 to 2 prem., ex div. ; ditto paid up, 694 to 1, ex div. Transactions are recorded as follows :-Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1852, 1858, 1860, 911 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 641, ex div. (exchange, 128.) ; Egyptian Seven per Cents. scrip, 9, i t , 81, premium ; ditto paid-up scrip, 914, 1 ; Italian Five per Cents., 701, ex div. (exchange 25fr.) ; ditto Maremmana Railway, 73, ex div. ; ditto scrip, 11 prem., ex div. ; Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 271, 281 ; Moorish Five per Cents, 961, 97 ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1863, for account, 454, 4, ex div. ; Russian Five per Cents., 1862, scrip, 1, 1 prem. ; ditto paid-up scrip, 931 ; Sardinian Five per Cents., 841 ; Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., 441, ex div. ; the Committee's Certificates, 94 ; Turkish Six per Ceuta., 1864, for account, 85 ; ditto Six per Cents., 1858, 734 ; ditto for account, 721, 731 ; ditto 1001. Bonds, 76 ; ditto Six per Cents., 1862, scrip, 11, 2, 11 prem., ex div. ; ditto paid up scrip, 694, 4,4, ex div. The scrip of the new Portuguese Loan continues in demand and is still rising steadily. The last was closed yesterday at 12 o'clock. The total applied for is about 21,000,000/., and as the amount of stock offered for subscription (exclusive of the 500,0001. taken prior to the issue of the loan, and of the 500,0004 reserved for Lisbon) was 4,000,0001, it follows that the London list represents more than five times the amount of stock to be allotted. Telegrams from Lisbon an nounce, moreover, that "before the Lisbon Bank advertisement of the loan was published, applica tions were made there in excess of the 500,0001. reserved for Portugal." Some of the disappointed applicants in Lisbon will perhaps be glad to buy the stock here. It is evident that the task of dis tributing the loan will be a peculiarly difficult one. The particulars are published of a number of Austrian Five per Cent. Bonds of 1852, which have been drawn for redemption. The numbers are likewise published of 156 bonds, amounting to 42,5601., of the Turkish Six per Cent. Loan of 1864, which were drawn by lot on Friday last, and are to be paid off at 100 on the 10th October next. About 9,0001 in gold was taken to the Bank yesterday. Mexican dollars continue in demand, and the price has improved to Eps. lid. per ounce. The quotation comes higher from China. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shoed this week an increase of 8,0811. ; the London and South Western an increase of 4,6361 ; and the Lancashire and Yorkshire a decrease of 4,700/. The report of the directors of the Scottish Aus tralian Investment Company shows that, notwith standing the dulness of trade in the colony, the colonial profits of the half-year were 1,0311. more than in the preceding six months. The total gross profit in the colony and London is 12,8261. The directors propose a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum, leas income tax, which will re quire 10,0001., and leave at the credit of the re-. served fund 8,2931. The directors have been enabled to issue a further considerable amount of debentures. A further call of 21., making 16/. paid, is to ke paid by the 21st August on the shares in the Lon don and South African Bank. A call of 15s. a share is to be made in the Bank ruptcy Court on the 16th August on the contribu tories of the Taranaki Steel Iron Company (Limited). The interest is advertised on the bonds of the Delaware and Raritan Canal and Camden and Am boy Railway and Transportation Companies. The half-yearly interest is advertised on the almond Preference Six per Cent. Bonds on the Northern Railway of Canada. Subjoined are the latest quotations of insurance, dock, canal, and other shares, as given in the Last Stock Exchange list : losuranoe.-Alliance Marine, 57 ex di,. ; Commercial Colon, 41 to 1 ; Mercantile Fire, 41 ; Ocean Marine, 151 to ; Bock Life, 84 ; Timm* and Matey Marine, 41; Univereal Marine, 4 to j.

Satterthwaiie reports as follows : The market/or American securities is London haa, awe our last, bees vary mach depriesed, sad sales very difficult to negotiate except at low rates. The geotetioes in many cases are purely nominal, and if stock was forced even the lowest prices could not lie obtained.
