'CUL l COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings atNiA Prim, in London.--(Bon.ru Mr. Justice Bole. and a Common Jury.) TM , n. nrcrT.ANT.-- rnrAcir OP PRONITRF. OT NARRTAGR. The plaintiff, Miss Caroline Low, alleged in her declare lin that aim and the defendant had agreed to marry one suother, and that though she had been always ready and willing to perform her part of the contract, yet the defen ',int had lefweal to marry her, and had in fact married soother woman. To this the defendant pleaded " not wuilty." Mr. o'lralley, Q.C., and Mr. Glare appeared for the 3 laintiff, and Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. M'Leod for the ,!cfcrultint. Mr. O'Malley said that the plaintiff, n yonng woman, was the daughter of a person who had kept a beer-shop at Andover, and who was at one time in a prospomus way. Ile, however, fell into bad enema:edam:as, and there t.l-•u Le went to reside with his son at Brighton, and the . iititiff took the situation of manager and barmaid at White Hart hotel at Andover. The defendant, though ; 4;3 a young man, was a widower, and he kept a large . thing and outfitting establishment at Andover. Early ti•e year 1v.67 he made the acquaintance of the plaintiff, ,i during that acquaintance he promised her marriage. As neither party in a cute of this kind could be ex amined as a witness it was often impossible directly f- , rove the promise; and this observation ap- I lied particularly to the case where the young ,aly had 110 home to take her lover to, and t:• , frimids to whom he would be expected to state his ..tentious. The plaintiff left Andover to attend her father ;luring Lis last illness, and afterwards she resided with ; !her members of her family ; and such were the terms "pop which she and the defendant were, that from April I. August she received from the defendant no less than 32 tters. Ile would rend mine few of these letters, and t the jury to infer from expressions in them that there N.V.. an cligagement to marry. At this stage of the procoedings n consnlintion took ;worn the counsel, and the result was that a set 11.ine7it of the action was arrived at. Mr. ticrjeant Parry :aid that to avoid any painful dis. ,cres hn would consent to a verdict. 81.1. O'Malley protected that there were no painful dis -4.1,-ures which could affect his client. A verdict was taken by consent for the plaintiff. 1 hkuiafteA 1001. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN BE 0. W. WEINNI.N.B.

INTENDED PUBLIC RECEPTION OF THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at 1 o'clock, at the City Terminus Hotel, Mr. T. Iluonsa, M.P., in the chair. The report having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, observed that the year hitherto, as far as the board could judge, HMI a succeenful one. Both in general attend ances and in the issue of season tickets there hail been an improvement over the preceding year; and there was mason to believe that the year would prove a profitable one financially. The rebuilding had been satis factory. There was now a high pressure of water in the building; and so far as human precaution could ward off fire the company was secured against a recurrence of the lute disuater. The Handel Festival had been a very marked feature in the history of the Crystal Palace. The late fee. tival as regarded the music was a decided improvement ou preceding festivals, while financially tho late festival was also mote sueoowful than its prodocessors. Cleat credit was due to the staff of Cie rubies, whose exertion, were creditable not only to the staff itself but to the Crystal Palace Com pany, and as regarded the opening of the Alexandra Falk that day, he did not think an opening by means of a laCe-COLLMO would do the company very gnat credit. To bet maw before the people us a proper sort of amusement for their leisure hours was not a very desirable thing. (Hear, hoar.) In order to retain the position so honourably gained by the Crystal Palace Company it would be necessary for all interested to act unitedly ; and he trusted that in the face of the manifold opposition they had to meet they would all remember that it was their dnty to endeavour to maintain the useful character of their property. (Hear, hear.) He then referred to the question of the sale of surplus lands for building pitmans, observing that the board had not been able to come to a conclusion as to the beet means of dealing with those lands, and that all they now proposed was that general powers to deal with them should be sought by means of a bill in parliament. He then alluded in appropriate terms to the death of Mr. Anderson, a director, within the year, and suggested that the filling up of the vacancy should be postponed till the annual meeting in De cember. As regarded the alleged bequest of a large sum to the company by the late Mr. Etches, the honourable gentleman observed that the directors had received no notice of it, and therefore were not in a position to take any step in the matter. As to the issue of free tickets for the admission of the friends of shareholders on Sundays, which was to be proposed by Mr. Lampeon, he must say he considered that question to have been disposed of by a previous meeting. (Hear.) Mr. Bra meoe testified, as an architect, to the sub stantial and satisfactory manner in which the work of restoration had been performed. Mr. Purim= was glad to hear the Chairman speak as he had done of the way in which the Alexandra Park was being opened. That concern would take away a class of persons whom the Crystal Palace Company did not want, and the shareholders ought to congratulate themselves that there was now such a place as Alexandra Park. (Laughter.) The CHAIRMAN interrupted the proceedings to state that a telegram bad jest been received from the Duke of Sutherland stating that the Duke of Edinburgh had settled to receive a public reception at the palace at 6 o'clock on Saturday next—(loud cheers)—and that the Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family will also at tend on that occasion. (Renewed cheers, and cries of " Make it a shilling day," responded to by exclamations of " No," and that such a course would be a breach of faith. The CHAIRMAN also intimated that the suggestion made could not bo acted upon. The report was shortly after adopted. FATAL EXPLOSION. An explosion, attended with fatal results, occurred yesterday afternoon, at the premises of Mr. Kynoch, percussion cap and cartridge manufacturer, Wit ton-lane, the victim being a middle-aged man, named George Southey. The deceased was emplo ed in the mix ing department, and was at the time wo • in a por tion of • detached shed, situated at a • ce of about thirty yards from the factory, in which several other persons ware also . employed in pre paring the metal for the cartridges. Shortly before I o'clock he was wetting some of the fulminate, the compoeition of which the cartridge is composed, when • youth named Meredith looked in the mall room where deceased was, and observing him in the act of pouring the fulminate into a bowl, expressed himself afraid at the dangerous nature of the compound being used. Deceased replied, "Are you afraid ?" and then shook the remaining contents of a paper he had in his hand into the bowL As he did so the youth saw a flash, and this was followed by an imme diate explosion, by which deceased was struck and blown with great violence into a corner, where he was shortly afterwards found with his head severed and his bowels protruding. Life was quite extinct, and it was evident that be had met with an instantaneous death. One pound of the composition was equal to 30 pounds of ordinary powder and great care was exercised in the using of it ; deceased, who was considered a very careful and skilful workman, being allowed to wet small quantities at a time. It is conjectured that his atten tion being attracted by the fear displayed by the youth, he did not exercise quite so much care as usual, and that in shaking the paper, be caused the friction which re sulted in the &spit:mon. The body was afterwards removed to the Crown and Cushion public-house, where it lies awaiting the coroner's inquest. The deceased leaves a wife and five childreu.—Bsreasehass Pert. QUEENSTOWN, JurrE 30.—The Cunard (extra) stoamehip Tarifa, from New York, arrived here at 8.43 a.m. to-day, with 142 passengers, 32 of whom she landed with her despatches, and proceeded for Liverpool at 9 a.m. All well. ATLANTIC TELEGRAM COMPANY.—(TIIIB DAY. —An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders was held at noon at the London Tavern, Sir C. Lampson in the chair, for the declaration of dividends for the nine months ending the 30th April last. The accounts, which were pre viously published, having been taken as read, the chairman moved the adoption of the accounts. The Hon. R. Grimston seconded the motion, which, after a short discussion, was agreed to. The Chairman, in moving the next resolution, " That a dividend be, and the same is hereby de clared, upon the First Preferential Eight per Cent. Stock of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum for the nine month' ending April 30, 1868," observed that although the earnings of the last two months were rather less than had been expected, that was owing solely to the bad state of trade, and he had no doubt whatever that the company's property would prove very valuable. He also trusted that there would ere long he a closer amalgamation between that company and the Anglo-American Company. After a short discussion the reselution was adopted. It was afterwards resolved— " That a dividend be, and the same is hereby declared, upon the Second Preferential Eight per Cent. Stock of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, at the rate of Bper cent. per annum for the nine months ending April 30, 1868 ;" " That a dividend be, and the same is - hereby declared, upon the ordinary stock of the Atlantic Telegraph Com pany, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum for the nine mouths ending April 30th 1868," and "that the several dividends this day declared upon the stocks of the coin ' any he payable on and after the let of duly, 1868." The oceedinge terminated in the usual manner. THE Bishop OF OXFORD AND MR. SPUR oFox.—The Duke of Argyll fitly described the speech of the Bishop of Oxford before it was delivered when he said that during this debate the bishops had all spoken as ecilesiusties, not as statesmen. They have gone on the motto of No Surrender, said the duke ; have offered no compromise, have made no suggestion, but have merely taken up that cry of ecclesiastical government all over the world, Nun possums,. The Bishop if Oxford was, however, more of an ecclesiastical and less of a statesman than any of them. He is a power ful speaker, but his speeches have about them the air of the tea paety or the platform. He is eloquent and sarcastic, tells a story well, misrepresents his op ponents with the blandest appemrance of sincerity and generosity, and tickled the ears of the groundliugs in the 'post masterly way. He spoke pretty much to the peeresses' gallery last night. Titer ladyships crowded to hear him, and he gave them their reward. But the bishops speeches are out of place in a deliberative assembly. When he is in his liveliest vein the House of Lords lays aside its courtly dignity for a moment, and gives itself up to he amused. Nor is the bishop at all ecru pulped whence the amusement comes. That ho should put in contrast Mr. Spurgeon'spraisen of voluntaryism and Mr. Spurgeon's appeals against the deficiencies of Lao voluntary principle was perfectly fair, but that he should teed them in a tone of solemn mockery was be teeth the iUguitv of the house, and utterly unworthy of the subject. It was even more. In that tone of mockery the Eihop was defiling the graves of his own anrcstas, fur Mr. Spor;oon is to-day the most proud:eat rt•prer(ntat'Ne of that Chihli.= sect with which the name of leillea ! r ot Olt i sIIII . XtI iutbly associated. That he should quote rut ion of a Remelt Catholic dignitary w se also ;I;i:wale, hat that he should enunciate the lettars of heueutable distinction which followed the name of the eceler'sudie iu a tour of theatrical contempt was an in3ult to the whole Catholic community, and an outrage on the good manners and good feeling of every Protestant gen tleman who beard him .—Doily MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ONB 0' CLOCK. The tendency of the stook market, on the whole, is slightly better to-day, and a moderate improve ment has occurred in some securities, owing to the decline yesterday in the price of wheat, the steady flow of gold to the Bank, and an expected large increase next month in the supply of floating capital, with the release of the dividends.

With re gard to the Cairo Hotel, however, the directors see grounds to modify their anticipations of profit. Amongst the causes of the present embarrassed state of the company's finances is the large amount paid for the land at Cairo and, inasmuch as this land was purchased by the company with the special sanction of the Viceroy, in connection with projects for public improvements which have now fallen through, the directors are strictly of opinion that upon adequate representations being made to his highness, the price paid for the land ought to be refunded to them. At the meeting yesterday of the Assam Company, tbe directors' report, which has already been pub lished, was adopted. The chairman read a tele gi am to the effect that the affairs of the under uking in Aaeam are progressing satisfactorily, nd that the estimated out-turn will in all probe- Linty be realised.

CLERK WELL TEE LOCAL BOARD FOR TUB DISTRICT OF 1000113 lIORADET IXFORTANT TO OWNERS AND xoirroAusse or .... FIIOI.P.IITY. 1/r. Henry 1(11 Wan summoned by the local board fur the district of South Horneey to show cause why he should not pay the apportioned amount of the expenseyable by him as owner of the house 14, Warwick -roa d,South llormey, as settled by thii imrveyer of the local board, for levelling, kerbing, channelling, and making good the said road. - - ---- This was a summons taken out ander the Public Health Act, 1848, by the local board, for the district of South Hornsey, in the county of Middlesex, against Henry Hill, as the owner of certain premises in Warwick-road, Horn rey, to recover the sum of 211. 2s. 9d., a portion of the expenses incurred by the local board for levelling, kerb ing, and channelling the said Warwick-road. Notice was served under the 69th section of the act, on the 19th of February, .867, upon the defendant to do the work him self. Thu murk nut being done, the local hoard having themselves executed the same, gave notice on the 15th of August, 1867, that the defendant's proportion of the ex pewee incurred by the board amounted to 211. 2s. 9d., and that the apportionment was so made as to be binding and conclusive upon him unless within the expiration of three months from the date of such notice ho should, by written note, dispute the same. The defendant, on the 14th of October, 1867, did, by notice, dispute his liability. The defendant considered, first, that he was not the owner within the meaning of the second section of the Ilth and 12th of Victoria, chap. 63 ; and, secondly, that if he was such owner within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, yet that the local board was barred from re covering by the Ilth and 12th of Victoria, chap. 43, com monly called Jervis's Act, which fixes the time within which proceedings must be taken to recover expenses where no time is limited by statutory authority. It was contended by the other side, that the defendant was owner, and that Jervis's Act did not apply to this caw. It appeared that the defendant was mortgagee in pos reK,ion of the premises at the time the work was executed by the local board. Mr. Cooke was of opinion that upon both points the board hail a right to recover, and he gave judgment ac cordingly. Mr. Hill asked for a case for the opinion of the court above. Mr. Cooke assented.

Many hundred game have perished, and the inhabitants of one or two of the houses in the vicinity of the tire have sat up every night since it began, being afraid to go to bed lest the buildings should tire. The Moss is tbridisl here and there with ditches from five to eight feet wide and twelve to fifteen deep, and these are generally full of water, hut now thr..e is not a drop to be sear in twiny of them, while others an: but an inch or two deep of water.
