Tog FLOODS. —Yesterday morning and the pre vious night the Exe, the Creedy, the Lowman, and other streams in Devon overflowed their hanks, and floods pre vailed in the low-lying villages. Valleys were turned into lakes, and roads were rendered impassable. In the early pert of the week there was heavy and incessant rain, accompanied with sleet and in some parts snow. From Bristol to Weston-super-Mare the high lands were covered with snow, while the low lands, from Bridgwater to Wellington, were one waste of waters. Between Tiverton and Exeter the fields right and left were covered with water. The Enivick marshes were under water, and all access to the village by the bridge at St. David's Railway station was cut off. The stream flowed from 18 inches to 2 feet above the road. The Creeds , was swollen to a degree, and had risen to within a foot of the bridge on the North Devon line, near Cowley. It was considered that the alterations made here during the past summer would secure safe travelling on the lino. At Exeter quay the Ere had risen 4 feet, and someof the streets in St. Thomas were under water. Yesterday the water it, the Thames at Windsor was still rising. The flood has encroached upon the Bross' and the college grounds and playing fields at Eton. The whole of the lowlands known as the valley of the Wey, extend ing nearly the length of that river between Alton and Weybridge, where it joins the Thames, are completely inundated, many places within the distance presenting the appearance of a vast lake when viewed from the adjacent halls. Numerous accidents, fortunately unattended with loss of human life, occur almost daily in the most fre -1 quented situations, and one of these, of a serious nature, happened at Farnham on Wednesday evening, by which a valuable horse and four-wheel van were washed away, and have not yet been recovered. TERRIFIC GALES IN THE ATLANTlC.—lntelligenoe was yesterday received in Livr-rpool to the effect that the Onion Company's steamer Minnesota, which left Liver pool on the , th instant for New York, had been compelled to put back to Queenstown with screw and machinery damaged. The Minnesota experienced fearful weather, encountering a series of strung westerly gales, and no doubt Captain Price, her commander, exercised a judi cious knowledge in putting back to the " Cove." A very severe gale has taken place at the Mauritius on the 3rd instant. The barque Hammersmith and the French ship Incomparable were wrecked on the island ; and the Ame rican steamer Warrior was stranded near Port Louis, but it is expected that she will be got off. Several other yes eels were driven ashore and damaged. Cohhierrott orr Durrogragst.—At ten o'clock yes terday morning the captain and crew of the barque Ma/a tone, from Hartlepool to Bordeaux, were brought into Dover harbour by • bevelling boat. Tbe vessel wee run I into by a full ri gged Prussian ship, and instantly mink o ff Dungeness. The sight was very dark and the men had great difficulty in clanihering up the sides of the Prussian, no assistance being rendered to them by the crew. One man was overboard for some time. When the captain end crew of the Nlahtoree arrived at the Sailors' Horne they were in an utterly destitute condition, only half clad, having been unable to save any of their effects. EXTENSIVE FRAUDS BY THE SECRETARY OP A Fonarrans' Socierr.—Some extensive defalcations by the secretary of the London United District Foresters Society have just been brought to light, the amount in question being about 3,500/. Last night the third adjourned general meeting of the delegates of the society was held at the Crown Tavern, Clerkenwellierren ; Mr. Morley In the chair. One hundred and thirty-seven delegates were present. The first business transacted was in reference to the moments of the secretary, Mr. John Stimson, late of No. 16, Essex street, Strand, and managing clerk to Mears. Mayhew, Salmon, and Whiting, solicitors ' of Great George-etreet. He nhsoonded on the let instant. The fonds of the society, consisting of subscriptions from 67,192 members, nearly all of the working classes, were deposited in the L a ndon and Westminster Bank, and the secretary, who had the con trol of the money, has been found to have kept a second bankers' pass-book, by which means he was enabled to carry on a system of fraud for a long period, and be was looked upon almost as above suspicion. On the discovery of the fraud information was at once laid at Bow street, and a warrant for his apprehension was granted, but instructions were not given that he was to be apprehended until the matter bed been discussed by the society. Sergeant Kerley, 10 F into whose hands the affair had been placed, bad stayed the publishing of the reward bills, do., sad the apprehen sion of the runaway, until the meeting of the society had determined how to act. It was found, as above stated, that he was deficient in his amorists to sums amounting in the aggregate to 3,5001. He had a salary from the society of about 3501. a year. The first business of the mooting yesterday was the rending of • letter from Messrs. ILeybew, Salmon, end Whiting, expressing their willingness to com promise the matter, and offering to pay the sum of 1,0001. at any moment, and to give a seeurity for 5001. more within a space of three months if the meeting would forego criminal proceedings. The considera tion of this letter end the proposition °Detained therein raised a dismission which lasted for more than two hours. The chairman then put the question, when there a ppeared—For the acceptant* of the letter, 63% against it, and for proseentieg the fugitive, 58. It was accordingly red that so criminal measures should at present be . The meeting, attar it bad appointed a depute ties to wait imam Marra Mayhew, _adjoarned ter two hoar'. Upon the re-asaemblimg of the messing the treater who bed waited upon Masses.

THI CANADIAN CONTANT. -70 re CAM The question is this matter was *bother Mr. Fox, who had taken 150 shares and paid the deposit rpm' them, wee to be settled on the list et oestribsteriee wader the following eironmstanoes :—A retionirtitedien of the won. pony was proposed by the director', to whisk Mr. Fox ob sated, whereupon the directors eanoeiled the allotment of shares, and returned the deposit paid by him thereon. The scheme for a reoonstitation was it was urged, never carr ied out s and so the partied were ;emitted to their ori ginal position. Mr. Jeesel, Q.C., and Mr. Lindley were for Mr. Fox ; and Mr. Everett was for the official liquidator. His Lordship held that on the proposal of the change, Übe objected to it, Mr. Fox was entitled to a return of his money and a cancellation of the allotment. He was not, therefore, • contributory, and must have his owns out of the estate. (Before Bar J. Stuart) WAITS° V. SCRUM& This cause came on upon a motion for an injunction to restrain the transferees of some shares in the Surrey and Sussex Railway Company, who were sold to b e ' mere min of straw," from further transferring the shares ; and also to restrain the directors, wbo had not transferred their shares, from tranderring them—du each case, with• out the permission of the court. The plaintiffs were the contractors of the line of railway. The directors had agreed to pay them tint in shame, and afterwards in cosh ; and that the directors, or some sub stantial shareholders would nibecribe towards the completion of the whole tine. It was now said that the directors had timeline& their shares to nominee* of their own—the men of stew before mentioned ; and this motion was made in order to protect the shares until the hearing of the cause, so as to prevent the directors from then saying they would not be liable to the plaintiffs under the agreement.

Chambers, Q.C., said this was an action tried before Mr. Justice Shee in the Bail Court, when a verdict was entered for the plaintiffs for Kt., with leave to the defendants to more to enter the verdist foe them if the court should be of opinion that they bad a right to recover the sum of 901. as • set-off. The plaintiffs had supplied the defendants with eight chandeliers for their circus at the Agricultural.ball, Islington. Afterwards the plaintiffs required the hall for the Belgian ball and certain eon. aorta, and they used the chandeliers for those purposes; and it was for the use of the chandeliers that the AC set off had been charged by the defendants. The question was whether, upon the evidence, there was a contract or p r omise to pay remonable sum. Buie granted. COURT OF EXCHEQIJF.R. —J az. 23. Sittings in Banco.—(Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Channel' and Pigott.) WILSON AND ()THEM r. FOND AND ANOTH2IL This case raised an important question as to the liability of a husband to pay the costs of • snit by his wife in the Divorce Court for the restitution of conjugal rights. The action was brought by attorneys and solicitors at Salisbury against the executors of one Frederick Ford, to recover 87/. 25., the amount of their bill of costs. The defendante paid 70/. into court, and pleaded never indebted as to the rest. roe trial took place before Mr. Baron Pigott on Monday last, when the jury found a verdict for the plain tiffs for 171. 2a. beyond the amount paid into court. Mr. Lopes, on the part of the defendants, now moved for a rule to eater a verdict for the defendants, or to re duce the damages, on the ground that the debt sued for was not for necessaries, and that there was no implied authority on the part of the husband to his wife to con tract the debt. The testator, Ford, was twit* married, and by his first wife he had a family, now grown up. On the 18th September, 1886, he married the present Mrs. Ford, and for a short time they lived comfortably tore ther, but on the 11th December following he left his wife, in consequence, as had been suggested, of the interference of his children, who were displeased with the mar. Mrs. Ford consulted plaintiffs on the subject, anduCf!athee 4th January,.lBB7, a citation was issued by the Divorce Court in a suit for the restitution of conjugal rights, and • short time afterwards that court made a decree granting the wife '3ll. for alimony. On the 4th of March Ford died, and the suit consequently came to an end. The plaintiffs afterwards sent their hill of ants to his elevators the present defendants, and not having been paid thi, action was commenced. There were three classes as charges in the bill. It was stated by Mrs. Ford that her husband nude a verbal promise, in consideration of her handing over to him all the property she possessed, to exe cute a marriage settlement, and the first charges had re ference.to consulting Mr. Speed, of the Chancery bar, as to whether there were good grounds for a suit for the specific performance of that promise. The second charges applied to the suit in the Divorce Court, and the third to con sulting her solicitors as to certain tradesmen who were pressing her for payment of bts she had incurred after her husband left her, and to a hreatened distress for rent. The learned counsel argued that the wife had no im plied authority to bind her husband for any of these matters. lie referred to the case of Brown v. Ackroyd, 5 Ellis and Blackburn, page 819, in which it was held by the Court of Queen's Bench, that if a wife, from reasonable apprehension of personal violence, left her husband's house, and it became necessary for her prom tiou that she should obtain a diverse i memo et there, the law gave her authority to pledge her husband's credit for the expenses of the proceeding. Lord Campbell, in deli vering judgment, said—"l think that such a divorce would be lit and necessary for the protection of the wife, said that she should) therefore be entitled to employ a prom tor and render her husband liable for the expense. It has been held that the husband is not liable for the expenses of an indictment instituted against himself by his wife, I and quite rightly ; for that is a proceeding instituted, nos fur the protection of the wife, but foe the punishment of the husband." In the present instance the suit in t h e Divorce Court was not necessary for the protection of the wife, and therefore she could not bind her husband for the expenses connected with it. Mr. Baron Pigott observed that Mrs. Ford was left 1 , penniless by her husband, and he did not see how she could have obtained alimony without instituting the snit The Lord Chief Baron—What would you have • wife do who was deserted by her husband I Mr. Lopes—lf tradesmen supply her with necessaries they can sue the husband. The Lord Chief Baron—She cannot compel tradesmen to trust her. Mr. Baron Pigott—The conduct of the testator was most heartless and cruel. Two months after marriage • carriage drove up to the door ; he gut into it, telling his wife that he was going to his doctor's, and that if he did not return by ten o'clock she was not to sit up for him. He never came back. It further appeared that he re ceived from her 8401., which was her whole property. Mr. Lopes—At a tr ial which took place at Salisbury it was stated that the whole money wee returned. The Lord Chief Baron—The course taken by the wife I , in availing herself of the most legitimate means for env palling her husband to come back and live with andnsstn lain her was not only justifiable but necessary. Mr. Lopes said there was no evidence of ill-treatment ; on the contrary, they lived comfortably and happily. Mr. Baron l'igott—Thet was the reason she mated him to come back, but the grown-up children, she said, swore that they would be the death of her if she retained to their feriae. Mr. Lopes next contended that the charges unconnected with the suit in the Divorce Court were not of • nature which enabled her to pledge her husband's credit with re gard to them. The Lord Chief Baron was of opinion that no rule should be granted. He did not find any direct authority to the effect that where a wife was deserted by her hus band and left penniless, she was not entitled to adopt all measures in order to obtain means of subsistence. I rele s : the circumstances in whieh Mrs. Ford was placed, common Dense, justice, and humanity suggested what course she should adopt Her only step for the purpose of enforcing her legal rights and obtaining means of living was obviously to institute a suit in the Divorce Court for the restitution of *mined rights, and with that object it was necessary she should consult an attorney. He there fore thought that all the expenses incurred before the suit, and the expenses of the suit itself, were neoresarily incurred and for a lawful purpose, and that the attorneys were entitled to recover them from the executors. With regard to the other demands, he was also of opinion that the wife was strictly justified in consulting and em ploying the plaintiffs in the way she had done, and that the defendants were liable. Barons Channell and Pigott being of the same opinion, The rule waa refused. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. JAIL Z. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) MIL 0. HILL MID JONNBON (10LIALLT CALLID nrt hi t a Mr. James Hill, of St .

MnK Sinamonds said that she bad given Johnson ad vice respecting Mr. Hill. Johan= had ems remarked to her what a pretty same s erved that she supposed that Mr. HIS was of French ex traction. Crowe:mined —Had certainly talked to her about Mr. Hill. Respondent, no doubt, remembered the oaciadon too well. The examination of Mr. Hill, son., takenby aoommission, was read. The wawa' stated that his sou was born on the 17th of Se pte mber, 1516, and had been baptised "Johannes De Vere MIL" Johannes De Vero Hill said—l was about 18 when I went to Dr. Simmond's. Charlotte ease there about the end of October, 1864. Grew intimate with her. Cannot say that the intimacy had had any precise commenoemeot. She afterwards informed me that she wu in the family way, and talked about being disgraced. She said sbedid not know what would become of her, and so I was obliged to promise to marry her. Tried to put it o ff es much ea I could, but woe at last obliged to do it. Suggested to her the suppreseion of the name De Fere, and that she should be miffed " Charlotte Johnstone." Thought that at that time her name was really " Charlotte Ann Johnson." The object of suppressing the " De Vere " was to prevent my name from being recognised. Told her that I bad better perhaps inform Dr. Simmonds ; but she would not hear of it. Informed her that I was going to put in the banns, and afterwards told her that I had published them. On the 15th of April I went out to be married, and she followed me. No friend of either of us was present. We were usanied. The signatures on the register are ours. Remained in the same home with her for two or three weeks, end then she went away with Mrs. Simmonde. Told her that I did not think the marriage was legal because I was not of age. Saw her when she came to Dr. Simmonda in August. !about written to her telling ber that legal proceedings were to be instituted, and she ems in consequence of that. Had never livid with her after the marriage ; but correspoaded with her. She only wrote to say tow she was. The lopl proceedings were taken because Dr. Simmonds had come fo hear of the marriage, and had communicated with my father. The other re spondent has never had a child. Crosoexamined—She told me that she was with child, and I had no reason to doubt her word. Told her that if my father turned me off I should not mind, but that I should go into the army. We agreed that I should sup press her name "Ann." for I thought her name was really ' Charlotte Ann." Had had letters addressed to use by the same of " De Fere." By the Judge Ordinary—She always called me Mr. Hill. Johnsoa—Not after the marriage. Witness—l don't think she knew that I was named "Johannes." By the Judge Ordinary—Was afraid of the neighbours getting to know. I once had an idea of telling Dr. Sim moods, because I thought that if he bad known the mar rine would not have taken place ; but when had re paired upon it I thought I hail better keep it ! absolutely secret. The female respondent was then sworn. She said—My real name is Charlotte Johnson, though I have been called Ann, because at the last place there was another servant named Charlotte. My intimacy with Mr. Hill began very soon after I went to lire. Simmonds'. I did not think I was is the family way till Mr. Hill told me. When he told me, I asked where Ie as to go. He said that he would marry me if he had the means, and that he would ask the doctor for some mosey for some purpose at the hospital. He did so, and put in the banns with it I did not press him to marry me. lie said he would marry me if I would conceal it till he was twenty-one. I replied, " What if they should get to hear of It'" He said, " I shouldn't care ; for I should go into the army." He published the banns about two months after the mat ter was first talked of. He went several times to put them in, but came back, for he said he could not see the clerk, whom he wished, with his (the clerk's) sister, to be the witnesses. He asked me if he should publish my name as " Ann," and I told him that it was not Ann. He said nothing about his own name at all. I did not know anything about it except that it was John. He was saver called anything in the house but Hill. I had asked him if his name was " De Fere," and he repeatedly told me that it was not. Cannot tell what bad put De Vero into my head. Must have heard it somewhere. Never told Mint Simmonda that it was a pretty name. After the marriage Mr. Hill directed a number of enve lopes for me to "J. D. Hill," and then I knew that he was named De Vero. Before then the letters which came for him were all directed "J. Hill." (The witness put in a number of letters which she had received from Mr. Hill. They breathed a moderate degree of affection, but betrayed an awful sense of fright lest oho should disclose her mar riage ; and when it appeared that she hail told her friends about it he was exceedingly angry. At last he informed her that the lawyers had taken the matter up, and that he could hold no more communication with her till the legality of the marriage was settled.) Cross-examined —My fellow-servant Emma had told me that she thought his name was De Von, and I asked him if it was ; but he denied it altogether. He told me that he had no means of supporting me ; and I suppose that if Mrs. Simnionda had learned that I was • warned woman she would have dismissed me. I hod given Mn. Simmonds notice, and wy time was with ; but I stayed with her in order that I might go with her to Belper where my borne was. I have no rotenone. I was born in Helper work house ; but I have an adopted mother in that town. Dr. Spinks—You never had a father' (A laugh.) Witness—l didn't know even that until I was told of it. (lAughter.) Dr. Spinks, upon this evidence, contended that not the nly ac count given by Mr. Hill was trustworthy, whereas o was that given by Johnson per se incredible, but the wit ness had been contredicted on material points by Dr. and Mrs. Sims:ponds. Under the circumstances, therefore, the court bad no option but to pronounce null a marriage procured upon banns falsely published with the knowledge and connivance of the young woman. Sir J.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BILLDTOID, JAN. M.—The public sales of wool which took place last week have tended to strengthen the tone of to-day's wool market. Although spinners have to some extent supplied their wants there is still a good demand for certain aorta, such as Lincoln wetliers, which are scarce, and have somewhat of a hardening tendency. The improve nient, however, does not seem to arise from abso lute increase in consumption, and is more appa rent than real. In worsted yarns some spinners report rather more inquiry, whilst others state that they are doing nothing. There is a disposition to seek higher rates, but so far they are unsuccessful. 40's single for Russia are in better request, as are also• in some quarters, two-fold 32's and 3 6 's ; also low 30's singles. Corded yarns are unchanged. Prices are quite as low as they have been, and there are some spinners who have actually made a concession in the low prices current. No improve ment has taken place in the demand for goods, unless we may ex cept from this—lastings, camlets, and serge-de berries, which during th e last 'fortnight have been in better demand, and commanded rather better prices. No change can be reported in any other class of goods. The home houses are operating sparingly. Some orders are placed ia certain styles of fancy goods. The American de mend is much the same as hitherto. A steady business continues to be done for Germany. There is no change in prices.
