Sir Hugh Oakes, Q. 0., then continued his address in support of Mr. W. F. Windham's petition that coats fa wned by him in opposing the original application to their lordships for an inquiry into his sanity, and of all th = seeding, had thereunder, might be paid by those at instance the inquiry h ad directed. the learned sem. eel proceeded to read two letters written by Mr. Wind= to his aisle, Lord Alfred Hervey, one while & schoolboy et Has, on domestic matters, the other subsequently, and b which no trace of unsoundness or eccentricity of mind could' be Inced. Lord Alfred Hervey had also admitted before the Master le Lunacy that the existence of aberration or want of rationality could not be detected in his nephew from letters written by him, or from any number of been' conversation with him, unless particular =b leats were touched upon ' but that it was only from the eccentricity of his ordinary conduct that total incapacity could be inferred. All this was totall a ki etheistent with the ground of congenital imbecility, tin` of no interval of capacity since the young man's birth, which bad been stated before their lordships ass foundation for the inquiry, and upon which statement their lordships had proceeded in gnoting it. The Marquis of Bristol, "ne ther of the petitioners, had not given any evidence one their lordships, but had since made a short affidavit to the offset that he believed Mr. Windham to have been from birth of defective intellect, owing to which he always bad been and still was incapable of managing his &Haan. Thai snideness was entirely consistent with what had been stated upon the application for the inquiry. But upon the exami nation of the marquis upon the execution of the inquiry, all that was elicited from him was that on the occasion of visit to him by Mr. Windham he had been struck by his foolish laugh, and by his falling asleep . after the ladies bed retired from the dinner table and snoring loudly, aad hibly that he had seen him riding in Rotten-row, and observed Ida ter be fell of fan and frolic, apparently at being on horseback la the stddat of other riders. This, however, fell far sheet Ci WIWEEIig the case of congenital imbecility. Of the thenba s tlioee two were the only ones that were qeR eounmisaion. There were also four others of the Fillisaas, who had all deposed before their lotdships is sediebess to the same effect as the affidavit of Lord Alfred Beressq. These were Mrs. Baring, and Captain J. H. Wind ham. XL Hooke, sad Major-General Windham, the three site of Mr. Windham ; but of these not use bed hiss embed before the Master in Lunacy. Tide shed& hese been dose, in order that, if they had de posed to the facts brought forward in support of en inquiry, as being within their own kno Mr. Windham's counsel might have had au opportunity g examining them as to those facts before a jury. Sir Hugh Cairns then referred to an attempt to induce Mr. Wind ham, since be had come of age, to consent to • sale of part of the Felbrigg Hall estate, of which he was tenant in tail in possession, and take in substitution of the part sold a portion of that section of the Windham estates called the devised estates, till 1869, with a life estate therein after wards. This attempt had been rouged by Mr. Windham, under circumstances showing conaiderable astuteness. The • concluded' learned counsel had not ....__....ted his opening address at the rising of the court, but will continue his argument on liay (this day). (Before VieeZhancellor Biz R. T.

This matter came on on adjourned summons from cham bers, not upon any question connected with the snit of "Lord v.Colviii " proper, but on the question whether cer tain costs which had been incurred by one of the parties in the suit, and were due to a solicitor named Barret, who has since become insolvent, were in his order and disposition at the time of his insolvency and thus paned to the edictal sasignee, or whether they passed an arignnent of them, which be had previously made to • Mr. Maim Mr. Barret, it appeared, was the solicitor of a family of the name of FlKTief, one of the parties to the suit of "Lord v. Colvin." He assigned the oats doe to him, amount ing to some hundreds of pounds, to a Mr. Banat in security for a debt. Mr. Robson gave notice of his assignment to the other solicitors engaged in the case, but he did not obtain any stop order on the fund in the court, and on the ground of his not having ob tained such stop order, the assignee under the insolvency claimed the fund as having been in the order and disposition of the insolvent at the time of his insolvency, while, on the other hand, Mr. Barret claimed them as having beim pre viowdy assigned to him. Mr. Osborne appeared for the assignee under the fusel vency, and Mr. Daniel and Mr. Brocklehatik for Mr. Banat. lThe Vice-Chancellor decided that no stop order was ree corny, the solicitor having no lien upon or interest in the fund until an order bad been made by the court directing the meta to be taxed and paid ont of the fund, which at the time of the assignment to Mr. Robson had not been made. He was of opinion, therefore, that the costs in qoestion were not in the order and disposition of Mr. Bar ret at the time of his insolvency. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. MARCH 8.

The county court is held there. I know the last witness and also Mr. Burroughs. I re member his being there with • pony and gig on a county court day last autumn. He left at between 9 and 10 in the evening, and Mrs. Blackburn went with him. William Page, a labourer, residing at Sutton, spoke to seeing a young woman of that villa ge named Helen Reed with Mr. Burroughs, soon after last Michaelmas. Helen Reed whistled to Mr. Burroughs, for she could whistle as well as a man. (A laugh.) Witness afterwards saw them in • Geld, and he deposed to an act of indecency but not of adultery on the part of the petitioner. On cross-examina tion the witness admitted that he had also made an affidavit, which on being produced was found to contain an averment that ho bad actmdly seen adultery committed with Reed. Witness now explained that he supposed from what he had seen that the offence must have been completed. He had never told Robert Watts that lie wished he knew something &picot Mr. Burroughs, in order that be might get a couple of guineas, and have • spree in London. Mr. Silcock had spoken to him about the matter. Alter some further evidence of less importance the plead lap in Mrs. Burroughs suit for the restitution of her con jugal rights were put in ; and this being the end of the re spevedetit's case, The court adjourned. From the proceeding to-day it would appear that popular educatiou in some parts of Norfolk is in a deplorable state. Scarcely any, if iudeed one, of Dr. Phillimore's witnesses could read ; and some of them professed not to know the meaning of the commonest English words. DESTRUCTIVE PHIS AT ROTHEREITHE.

Sellers report, very generally, a very small amount of business during the entire week, and an almost utter eeemation of business for the last ample of days. As India goods are most affected is price amen cloths, the yarns used for making such goods are also naturally among those most seriously depressed in pries. There is no quotable change in yarn', but sellers would probably accept Id. per lb. less, and especially those who have what 'recalled Blackburn yarns to dispose of. The market closes very dull and gloomy. WOOLLEN.—Luna, MARCH B.—The market was at tended this morning by a good many boyars, but the trans actioos in both halls were limited. A few parcels of meltons, at very low prices., changed bands in the coloured hall, and also a few tweeds, but on the whole there was little diepositina to operate, and prices had a downward tendency. The demand for plain *anthem continues small. HARDWARE.—Braninunan, MARCH B.—The trade of this town continue dull, but the depression is not so great as it was a month ego ; in the metal and jewellery trades it is felt most at the present time. The electro and other platen are also very badly off for orders, and at some of the manufactories there is still not more than two-thirds at work ; the iron-wire drawers, jewellers, and button-makas, report that to far as they are columned business is as dull now as was soon after Christmas. The gunmakers are busy ; the tube-makers are working full time, and there is still sufficient orders in for braes and copper wire to keep the mills working full time. The do-plate workers are also doing a moderate trade, but these are quite exceptional instances. Upon the whole, trade is anything but what it ought to be at this period of the year. The iron trade of this district cootiuues extremely dull ; some makers have not more than half the supply of orders memory to enable them to keep the mills at work full time. The pro ducers of the best quality of plates are doing the largest business ; for rods the demand is inconsiderable, and in mer chant bars there is much less doing than is usual at this season. For secood-chus quality of finished iron there is very little inquiry, and makers are pressing sales at prices ruinously low.

Newcarortx-orolt.Trun, MARCH 8.-At our market this morning we had a limited show of wheat from the icrowers, and having little offering from Use coast, the main bulk having passed direct into the hands of the millers, fresh threshed samples in cooeequence were taken quickly off at fully last week's prices; bat in south country qualities few transactions transpired, still, however, where sales took place, our previous currency was sustained.

OXFORD, MARCH B.—There was a good attendance both of buyers and sellers at this market today, whilst the samples of wheat were more numerous than for some weeks put. Notwithstanding the great bulk represented, prices for good-conditioned qualities quite maintained last week's ✓ates ; and as retailers (from necessity) were compelled to repleniik their stocks, the increase of trade was rather con. aerobia ; inferior samples hung heavy on band. Malting barley was a short supply, and fully maintained former pt.ces ; grinding qualities not much in request.
