He had originally intended to . lit. r tht church, but ultimately became an actor. Mn. ‘ll.lt,g. at the time of th• marriage was very young, and . , • n.,d known Mr. Vining almost from the time that she 1..,d been a child.

Unfortunately about 1859 r • r.reunistanoso occurred which to a certain extent estranged ti.e feelings of the petitioner from her husband ; and in 8 ti result a deed of separation was drawn up and • wcuted between them.

This sum went it in payment of the first five years of the allowance which 4 he had agreed to make his wife. The first instalment of le the 501. allowance was due in September, 1865, and as it 11 was not paid this petition was filed in November a • year. • Mr. Iluddleston, Q.C., said that he was afraid the ex• '.tence of this deed would negative the plea of desertion for as Mr. Vining bad paid 5001. under it it was still in force, and he could not therefore be said to have legally deserted his wife. His lordship said there was no doubt that the deed was Gilt in force, and it had not been made void by the fact t ~ tithe husband neglected to pay the first instalment of the Allowance. He had, however, paid the previous five yean ..10earice of 1001. a year, and Mrs. Vining bad received thr benefit of that money. Therefore there had been no '''43l desertion. In feet, the deed itself set forth that tht7 " mutually agreed to separate." Of course, if Mr. ming neglected to pay the money which he bad cove. Lasted be could be sued. The wife's plea of wilful de. *llion could not be substantiated. Mr. Huddleeton said he had felt the difficulty from the and therefore bad mentioned it before going into the details of the case. wiles petition was then dismissed. ARCHES COURT. re the Right Hon.

THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. SELLING SHAN JEWELLERY IN THE STREETS. Peter IP Derision, • respeetable-looking elderly man, known to the police as • " duffer, " was brought before the Lord Mayor for final examination on the charge of at tempting to dispose of spurious articles of jewellery by is them to be made of gold. The circumstances of the case have already ap It will be recollected that the prisoner met a well ' r e t r ir t ed youth named Howard, on London-bridge, and he offered him • watch chain, a ring, and a scarf pin, all of which he represented to be of Australian gold, for 21. 18e., the story he told being that he was the mate of a ship, and that he took the articles out of the captain's chest. The boy having some suspicion about the matter spoke to a police man, and the prisoner was then given into custody. The Lord Mayor, addressing the prisoner, said he was • very dangerous character, and tempted boys to rob their employers by offering them sham jewellery for sale. He most go to the House of Correction sad be kept to hard labour for three months. ATTIMPIITD RUICIDI OF A RAILWAY GUARD. Win. Hound!, aged 31, residing at 50, Ontram.street, Caledonian-road, employed as a guard on the Great Northern Railway, was charged before Mr. Cooke with at tempting to commit suicide. It appeared from the evidence that the defendant had been ailing for a long time, and on the 30th of December last as he appeared strange in his manner, and his door wen found locked, his landlady had it forced open, when he was found lying on the bed with his throat cut from ear to ear sod the sheets and bed were saturated with blood; on the bed was found a razor also covered with blood, and with which there could be no doubt be had attempted his life. He was at once conveyed to the Royal Free Hospital, where for some considerable time no hopes were entertained of saving his life, but eventually be re covered so far as to be able to answer the charge at this court, although in • weak state, and supported by crutches. The defendant said be had committed the act whilst labouring under extreme depression of spirits, and was very sorry for the attempt which he had made on his life. Mr. Cooke remanded the defendant for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THREATRAING TRI )(ARGOTS TOWNSHEND. George Connor and Mary Darla, the latter with a child in her arms, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, by the Marquis Townshend, with begging in Piccadilly. The marquis ail that on the previous evening about 6 o'clock he saw the two primmer' together in Piccadilly. The woman left the man frequently to accost ladies in carriages,and as he knewshe had been previously convicted, he watched her and saw her receive money from ladies in different carriages, and each time go back to the man. While looking for a constable he lost sight of the prisoners, but subsequently saw them come out of a public-house, and be then gave them into custody. As the man was not known to him as a beggar, he requested at the station that his own recognisance might be taken for his attendance here this morning. The male prisoner said that he knew nothing of the female prisoner, and only met her by accident. He had a wife et home. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed Davie for a month, and as she was being removed from the court by Berne, the gaoler, she threatened the marquis, on which she was brought back ; and Jlarns having informed the magiatrate that she had threatened that thenest time the Marquis Townshend gave her into custody she would mark him, Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered her to find one bail in 16/. to keep the peace for six months. The man was discharged. DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT MURDER NEAR THE HUUzE UP DETENTION.-(THIS DAY.) At about a quarter past 9 o'clock this morning as a respectable-looking man was passing between Northampton-street and Compton-street, within • short distance of the House of Detention, he was, without the slightest warning, fired at. The bullet entered the right side of his neck, just below the ear. The un fortunate gentleman did not immediately fall to the ground, and before anyone oould approach him to render Resistance, and there were several persons near at the time, three other shots were fired in rapid succession, but fortunately they did not take effect. As may be supposed the utmost excitement prevailed. The assailant held • re volver, of which,as was afterwards discovered, three cham ber. remained undischarged. A man named Robert Baas, living at Seward-cottages, Seward-street. St. Luke's, more courageous than the rest, went up to the attempted mur derer, seized him by the collar with one hand and the re volver with the other, and firmly grasped and held him until such time as William Knight, police-conatable 214 0, came up and took the man into custody. He also took the revolver from him, and thus prevented him attempting any further mischief. A large crowd soon assembled, and loud execrations were uttered. A cab, however, was procured, and the man, Robert Bass, and the police-constable were speedily driven to the polioe station in King's-cross road, where be was placed at the bar before Inspector Bryant, and charged with the attempt to murder • Mr. Charrington or Sherrington, and an entry to that effect was made in the charge-sheet. He gave his name as James Needle, and his address as living at No. 13, New-street-square, Fetter-lane, Holborn. He said he was by profession • solicitor's clerk. Ho appeared to be quite indifferent to his situation. He bad somewhat the appearance of a man of weak intellect, and Inspector Potter at once identified him as • man who had been to him on several occasions for the last twelve months making complaints about his being suspected of being • Fenian, and his great annoyance at being followed about. The charge having been formally entered, he wu locked up. The revolver was found to be one of • very perfect con struction, consisting of seven barrels, and mounted with German silver. The injured man was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where. he was at once attended to by the house surgeon. From him it was ascertained that the bullet was still in the neck so deeply seated that at that time it was not deemed prudent to effect its extraction. There was then no immediate danger. The prisoner is about 30 years of age, fair complexion, with light moustache. Immediately he was brought to the station-house a telegraphic communication mss made to the chief office, in Scotland-yard, and subsequently an officer was directed to go and search the prisoner's lodgings. TES ARTISANS' VISIT TO THS PARIS RSHIBITION. BREAKFAST AT BIRIiDiGRAIL--(THIS DAY.) (By ?I:MILANI.) BIRMINGHAM, WIDNZSDAY, 1 P.M. A breakfast in celebration of the above occur rence took place at the Exchange here this morning ; the Mayor presided. Mr. Bright, M.P., and Mr. Dixon, M.P., addressed the assembly. Mr. Bright's topic* wee the educational question, on which he spoke for thirty-five minutes. METROPOLITAN RAIL(' AY COMPANY. (THIS DAY.) Thia day, the ordinary half-yearly meeting of proprietors was held at the City Terminus Hotel ; Mr. PARSON in the chair. The report, which has been publiahed, having been taken sa read, The Criaranas, in moving its adoption, mid they met wtder peculiar circtimstanoes on the present occasion—cireum• stances which he did not anticipate when he last met them. The increase in traffic was considerable, but not so much u he anticipated. It was over 11,000!., although there was great distrees amongst the artisans, from whom they received 7.loths of their traffic. Moreover, the weather at the fall of the year was bad, and that bad a very injurious effect. The traffic in the present year was progressive and satisfactory. He fully expected that the increase would go on week by week, and year by year. There was I a small balance in their favour on the Hammersmith Rail way on June last, and when the full accounts were before them be believed the balance would be larger. The Hammersmith Railway was not properly a portion of the Metropolitan, but it was profitable now, and when the land °Desch side of theline wasbnilt on it would be morose. Instead of returning 40,000 L he believed it would return 50,000/. and6o,ooo/. • year. The chairman then explained the circumstances under which the proposed dividend was re duced. Every kind of means had been resorted to todepreciate the value of their shares. It even had been said that some of the directors had been traficking in shares for the pur pose of raising their value. He denied that altogether. He also denied that Mr. Bloxaw, who obtained the in junction against the company, was • shareholder within the meaning of the Act of Parliament. But he had probably answered the purpose for which he bad been put forward. With regard to the important question of dividend, they were required to debit them with the interest on the de benture stock for the half-year ending the 31st December last. With all respect for the opinion of the Vice-Chan oellor, he did not think that was • reasonable decision. It was the intention of the directors to take the case to • higher court under advice. They would divide 5i per cent. to-day, sod he hoped he would soon be in a position to give them the remaining 2 per cent. If they did not summed in the appeal they would apply to parliament for relief. (Hear, ' hear.) They had • bill for the next 'melon of parliament, and they would introduce a clause into it to relieve them from their present position. He had no doubt that they would be successful in the court of common sense. He denied that there had been any misappropriation of the company's funds. The chairman then proceeded to enlarge on those parts of the report which referred to the works on hand and the future prospects of the company. He believed the receipts for 11468 would amount to 170,000/., and that they would get 50,0001. a year from the foreign companies, the Great Western, the Great Northern, and he Midland. [The Chairman wu still speaking when our report left.' CITY OF LONDON BREWERY COMPANY (LIMITED).-(THIS DAY.) The annual meeting of the shareholders was held at 1 o'clock at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon-street, Mini. Dose, Bart., in the chair. The report stated that the profits of the year amounted to rei,dmi. 12s. Id., and that the balance, now available for dividend and reserve fund was 32,836/. 10s. 7d. Out of this last amount the board proposed to divide 5 per ceat. for the half year, making, with the interim dividend of 3 per cent. declared in August last, 8 per cent. for the year ; 2,4514. being added to the reserve fund. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, congratulated the meeting that, notwith standing the bad state of trade, such • eatisfac• tory report was presented. The shareholders might re upon it that the proposed dividend was fairly and honestly earned. (Hear, hear.) Everything connected with the brewery was in the most substantial condition, and the reserve fund would now amount to 45,000/. (Cheers.) In addition to the general commercial embarrassments they had bad to contend against a rise of 7s. per qr. in the price of malt, and, considering all the circumstances, he thought it might be affirmed that no joint-stock company in the City of London stood in • better position than the City of London Brewery Com pany. (Cheers.) ' The report having been adopted without discussion, and a dividend of 5 per cent. per annum for the half-year de , dared, the retiring directors were re-elected, and the pro , readings terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the board.

In consequence of the recent decision in the case of Grissell v. Bristowe, by which the dealers in the Stock Exchange are held subject to liabilities from which, as mere middlemen, they had hitherto con sidered themselves wholly exempt, especially as they have been supported in this view by the in ternal laws of the Stock Exchange, a number of the dealers in banking and miscellaneous shares yesterday came to the conclusion that it is ad visable to discontinue quotations in those com panies where a large portion of the capital remains unpaid. It is contended by them that no dealer, with the ordinary margin (of profit, ought to be expected to incur the liability now held to be attached to such transactions. The share list pub lished last evening is consequently without closing quotations fora number of banks and miscellaneous companies which have hitherto been regularly quoted. In the public interest it is to be hoped that the real state of the law will be settled as quickly as possible by a prosecution of the appeal, far the purpose of which a committee of seven members - of the Stock Exchange has been oonsti.

The deposits have eteeedied done cd the previous year by 170,8881., whereas the with draws& have only exceeded those for the same period by 32,3e91. The • members' capital" has increased by 210,799/. In consequence of the unprecedented influx of money (owing peuicipilly to the low rate of in t er est ob tainable elsewhere), the directors felt it net:emery, m August, to reduce the rate of interest from 5 to 4 per cent., and it is satisfactory to find that this step has not led to any considerable increase in the amount withdrawn.

Bt. John del Rey shares were pressed for sale yesterday, and fell no leas than 10F., viz., to 211. to 231., owing to the receipt of very unfavourable official advioes with regard to the recent fire at the company's mines. Annexed is an extract from a letter received from the superintendent, Mr. Gordon :—" The extent of the timberwork de stroyed in Loth mines is very great, and almost overwhelming to contemplate as a separate question of loss to the company, under existing circum stances. It is at least calculated to discourage, if nut deter, any attempt to effect its removal. The general results of the examination are most serious and discouraging to all who are interested in the company's operations or prosperity. For the present the gold return will be insignificant, com pared with the previous produce, or even the amount of working expenses." With regard to the future plans at Kahn and Cachoeiro, Mr. Gordon states that he is not prepared at present to point out the best coffee to pursue.

Seven deaths only, from all causes, had marred among the patients. Although the great bulk of the work of the charity was effaced under woman's ministration, namely, by the 36 specially in structed midwives in the charity's employ, there were rase in which resort must be bad to th e physieithe or their representatives in the several districts. Last year there were 91 of these oases demandieg the exercise of ma tared professional skill. and often of much protracted and patient attention. and only seven out of the 91 failed to yield to the treatment prescribed. The midwives had performed their duties satisfactorily, and the fact that upwards of 3,500 women had been safely delivered by them was adduced as a guarantee of their efficiency and of the care with which they had been in structed. In reporting on the financial position of the charity the °enmities had to moth* a doincy on the year's account of 1251. ss. 7d. They took that opportunity of notifying that, looking at the state of the finances and the deficiency on the year's amonnt, it bad both determined, after a tepee of six yeath, to have a pea* dinner to recruit its funds an the Mame= of the charity's one hundred and Anse* anniversary.

Coutwiae and by land carriage, the receipts of home grown wheat fresh up to Mark-lane to-day were very mode rate. Fine parcels changed hands at the rates current on Monday ; but inferior produce, of which the supply was chiefly composed, was difficult to sell, at drooping prices. The market was fairly supplied with foreign wheat. In all descriptions sales progressed slowly, sad the quotations, in some instances, were barely maintained. Floating cargoes of grain commanded full prices, but the demand for them was by no means active. The show of barley was small. The trade ruled firm, and late quotations were maintained. Malt was in limited request, at previous currencies. The supply was seasonably extensive. Only a moderate business was passing in oats, but, as the supply was short, full prices were realised. Beans met a slow sale, at late rates. For peas the inquiry was limited, at about Monday's quotations. Both English and foreign flour was firmly held. Linseed and rapeseed were in fair request. For agricul- I Meal seeds there was a fair demand. Cakes were quiet. CCRRENT PRICES. Taman- Per Qr. I fog er WHEAT. a. s. 06111. 9. & Rte.
