THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY ;EVENING, DECEMBER 13, 1866. LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) EQUITY COURTS. (Before Vlce-Chanoelior Sir J. Stuart.) THE MERCANTILE IMPERIAL CREDIT ASSOCIATION (LIMITED) P. THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY COMPANY. The Attorney-General, Mr. Cotton, and Mr. C. T. Simpson appeared in this cue in support of a motion, on behalf of a Mr. Drawbridge, for a receiver of the rents of a portion of the surp lus lands of the railway corn y. It ap that the company had mor the partlcti r lands in ques tion, to Sir Morton Peto ; and that be had then raised the sum of 100,000 i. from Mr. Drawbridge, on the security of that mortgage. Mr. Bacon, Q.C., Mr. Martineau, and Mr. Kekewich ap peared for the railway company. The Vice-Chancellor said that if an order, which he had made on the 17th of July last, did not in its terms extend to the surplus lands of the com pany, as he intended it to do, he would take care that it should be corrected accordingly. His honour deprecated excessive litigation in the matter. The Attorney-General observed that an application bad been made to the Lords Justices, before whom the order of the 17th July was the n pending under appeal, to hear this and the other motion together, in order to save expense ; but their lordships thought this motion ought to be made here first—in regular course. Upon this, the Vice-Chancellor said he thought the best thing to be done was to refuse this motion ; and that would give Mr. Drawbridge a legitimate passport to the Lords Justices' Court. (Before Viols-Chancellor )(aline.) scam O. WIRITAGN. This bill was filed for the foreclosure of a mortgage of the amount of 59/. There was no attempt to dispute the liability of the defendant, but it was contended that the bill ought to be dismissed with costs against the plaintiff, on the ground that the proceedings in respect of so small a sum should have been taken in the county court. The payment had been delayed in consequence of a difference as to the amount due for interest. Mr. Glasse and Mr. Joyce were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Eddis for the defendant. The Vice-Chancellor held that there was nothing to prevent the plaintiff from coming to the Court of Chan cery fsdrelief, and he was entitled to the decree for which be asked. The defendant could have avoided these ex pensive proceedings by paying the 501. and he would have therefore to pay the cods of the suit. THE MATOR AND CORPORATION OF FITTHZ V. MAST. The defendant in this cause purchased of the plaintiffs certain lands abutting on the sea shore at Hythe, with the condition that he should build upon them within two yeses houses of the value of 1,2001. Instead of carrying out his contract the defendant, long after the expiration of the two years, had left upon the land unfinished build ings, which were an eyesore to the neighbourhood, di minishing the value of other property, and causing greet damage to the plaintiffs. Under these circumstances pro ceedings were taken by the plaintiffs to enforce the contract, but the defendant had absconded, to avoid ser vice, and did not not now appear. The bill asked that the contract might be rescinded, that an inquiry might be instituted for the purpose of ascertai nin g the actlW value of the unfinished buildings, as a set-off against the plain tiff's claim for damages and costs ; and that the defendant might be required to reconvey the glands to the plaintiffs free from all inoumbrances, the plaintiffs agreeing to re turn the purchase money, with 5 per cent. interest. Mr. Bailey appeared for the plaintiffs. - -•vse aa prayed. - - COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. ; (Before the Judge Ordinary.) DATIES V. DEVE.REUX AND ROBERTS. I Dr. Deane, q.C. Dr. Spinka, and Mr. Morgan Lloyd ' for the plaintiff • ' Mr. Mclntre and Mr. Colon for the d e fendant Roberts. The testator was Mr. John Vaughan, late of Pentnaen, Merionethshire, who dower, the age of 74, in June, 1863. He was a w and had no children. He left personalty to the amount of 5,0001., and various freeholds, yielding about 1,2001. a year. The will in dispute was dated on the 16th of September, 1861, and by it the testator gave to his wife's half-sister, Miss irt Jane Davies, the whole of his personalty and elite interest in his realty , with remainder of to her two nieces, and part to his neighbour andgodso n , Mr. Pryse. The only next of kin, Mr. Devereux ( nee deceased) had declined to contest the validity of the instrument ; but the Rev. Hugh Roberts resisted probate on the usual grounds, namely, undue execution, want of capacity, and undue influence. This gentleman claimed as h e ir-at-law, and alleged that he was descended from a common ancestor whose marriage took place so long ago as 1691. On the part of the plaintiff evidence was called to show that the testator had made a long series of wills by every one of which the alleged heir-at law would have been equally excluded ; that the testator was perfectly com petent to transact business • and that he had pven instruc tions for his will, and h ad executed it with the utmost deliberation and formality. (The case was proceeding when our report left.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE G. L. FOUNTAIN. The bankrupt was a cattle dealer,of Sndbury,lliddlesex. This was the sitting for examination and discharge. Debts, 1,849/. Mr. Phelp, for the assignees, did not oppose. The bankrupt, in answer to questions from the court, stated that he had been a heavy loser through the cattle disease. He had been in the business all his life, and had never failed before. His Honour granted the order. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE HODGE. The bankrupt, a licensed victualler, of Totteuham-court road, applied for his discharge from debts of 7631. Mr. Aldridge appeared for the official assignee. Mr. Cannon, a creditor, opposed in person, and com plained that the bankrupt had vexatiously defended an action brought by him on a bill of exchange for 40/. ; and after putting the plaintiff to an expense of 24/., had allowed the cause to be disposed of as undefended. The bankrupt said he had a good defence ; he had never accep:ed the bill, nor seen t ; and wanting funds only prevented him proceeding with his defence, which was that the bill was a forged one. His Honour did not think the charge of vexatious de 'dice established, and granted the order. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE LIND() AND xr.sno. The bankrupts, brothers, were general merchants of Idol-lane, having a house at Lisieux, in France. Their aggregate liabilities are about 7,000/. ; assets estimated at 2:56/. - Mr. Manna, for the assignees, did not oppose. Mr. R. Gri ffi ths opposed for Mr. We Hord, of New• castle, who had supplied the bankrupts with coals, to the amount of 720/. to be delivered at various ports of France. The bankrupts had made a proposal to pay 2a. tid. in the pound, which would probably have been done out of the proceeds of Mr. Welford's coals. An adjournment was asked for cash and deficiency accounts. His Honour said the case was a very unsatisfactory one on the face of the accounts ; the bankrupts must explain what had become of the property for that purpose an adjournment would be ordered. IN RE C. A. BOWEN. The bankrupt was a ship-owner and merchant, of Mark. lane. The accour.ts filed under the bankruptcy show liabilities of 1,5001. only ; but it appeared that in 1804 she bankrupt executed a deed of inspectorship, under which liabilities were not less than :17 ,5331. He ascribed his present failure to liabilities incurred as liquidator of his shipping estate under the inspectorship, and the great de. pression in the shipping trade since. Mr. Bagley, on behalf of the assignees, stated that the bankrupt's affairs had been a long time in the hands of his creditors, who did not desire any further accounts, ; and did not object to his having order of discharge. His Honour granted the order.his been convicted, for that would do more than • mere money penalty. It was a mean way of robbing the peer, and • system which should be checked by every means. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FALSE RETB.—A TICKET-OF-LEAVY MAN AT WORN AGAIN. Henry Blair alias "Plyme"Clarke, a ticket-of-leave man, and James Bnahndl also known to the police, were charged before Mr. K nox with attempting to enter the dwelling-houses Noe. 15 and 23, Maddox street, Regent street, with a false key. Blair wan further charged with being in the area of No. 15, Maddox-street, for, the pur pose of committing a felony, and Hector Mackay, a young man, living in Castle-street, Oxford-street, wait charged with attempting to rescue Blair from the custody of the police—the last-named prisoner being a one-legged man. Solomon Peisley. 69 C, said—About 11 last night I saw the prisoner Bushnell in Maddox-street. When he saw me enter Maddox-street he made • movement with his arm, which made me notioe him. I then saw Blair leave the door of a dwelling-house—l think No. 25. I crossed to the opposite side of the street and passed them, and went into Mason's-yard, but instead of going down Mason's-yard I doubled back and watched them. I saw Blair go to the door of No. 23, and tty to get in with • key. Blair then went and spoke to Bushnell. and tried the door of No. 15, but not being able to get in with the key, Blair then raised his le g and put it over the railing and went down the area steps, Bushnell lean ing sideways on the railings on the watch. I waited about two minutes and then walked up the street as if not taking notice of anything, and Bushnell seeing me walked from the railings of the area to • lanap-post. I laid hold of him and told him that I wanted him, when he replied, " What for? Leave go. I've done nothing." Seeing a gentleman, I called upon him to assist me, telling him a man was down one of the areas, and some other gentlemen coming up, I asked them to surround the area, and they did so, lied I then sprang my rattle, and as soon as I did so something fell in the area like keys. Sergeant Cook, 16 C, then oame up just as Blair was getting out of the area, and he was afterwards very violent. I handed Bushnell over to a constable and went down the area and found two keys. On searching Blair and Bushnell I only found a photograph upon one of them. Blair said he went into the area for a cet.ain pur pose, and Bushnell said he bad not done anything. Blair—l never had any keys. A gentleman named South proved assisting the police, and while having hold of Blair the prisoner Mackay came up and took hold of witness and " Why don't you let the man go ?" and it being supposed that his object was to let Blair get away wan taken into custody. Blair said he was drunk, but the 'aimless said that was not true. Mackay said he merely told the witness to let the man have justice and not to strangle him , as they were nearly choking him. A gentleman named Taylor, residing at Cambridge street, Pimlico, after giving similar evidence to Mr. S-uth, added that Mackay made use of the expression, " I don't think you are doing right ; let the man have justice." He assisted the police in taking Blair, who was very violent, into custody. Mackay, having called witnesses, who satisfied Mr. Knox that he was a respectable m an, and totally incapable of mixing himself up with such characters as Blair and Bushnell, Mr. Knox said that he did not for • moment believe that Mackay was in any way connected with the other prisoners, who were burglars, that he should fine him 405., not as the charge alleged, for attempting to rescue Blair, but for putting his hand ou, and interfering with, Mr. South, who was engaged in assisting the police. Blair and Bushnell would be remanded. WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY CASUAL WARD CASE. A stout, powerful, comfot ably-clad man, about 40 years of age, who gave the name of Witham Lo ath, was charged with attempting the foll owin g disgracefufrau William Coombe' ) porter at St. Luke's workhouse,Chel sea, said—Last night, at 20 minutes past 7, the man before you came and asked for a ticket of admission to the casual ward. I asked him if he had any money about him when he gave me 3d., and said that was all ho had. I searched the man, and found in his other waistcoat pocket Is. 40., besides the 3 d. I re ported it to the master, and was directed to give the man into custody. Charles Tanner, 275 B—l was sent for from the station and took him into custody. When I searched him I found a purse containing two half-crowns, besides the other money spoken of. I found the parse in his breast pocket. Mr. Arnold—What have you to say to this, William Louth? D e f en d an t—lts all a mistake about my wanting re lief ; I certainly wanted a night's lodgings at the work • house, and offered to pay anything they pleased. The Porter—l never a heard a word of this before. He came as all the rest do who want a ni g ht's lodging in the carnal ward. Defendant—l had been about trying to get a lodging at a coffeehouse but could not. Mr. Arnold—Yon told the man that 3d. was all the money you had. Porter—l told him I must search him, and he said 3d. was all the money be had. An insoector from the T division—This man came to the station last night and asked for an order for admission to the casual ward stating that he was destitute. Mr. Arnold—This is abominable. It is one of the wont cases that ever came before me. Here is a man with plenty of money in his pocket throwing himself upon the poor rates, which are contributed by many persons in a poor condition themselves. You are com mitted, defendant, for , l4 days to hard labour, and the money found upon you will be forfeited to the poor. The Bengal British Indian Association have presented an address to the widow of the late Bishop of Calcutta, expressive of the native affliction caused by his lordship's premature death. The government of India have directed an inquiry into the circumstances which mused his death, resulting apparently from the grossest neglect of proper precautions for the passage of persons going from the river bank to the steamer. The first consignment of the old pattern Enfield rifles has been despatched from Chatham, in the WDe ar - partment transport Marlborough, for the purpose of un dergoing conversion into breech-loaders. There are abou 50,000 stands of arms stored in the ormolu/ at Chatham, the whole of which will be converted. Mrs. Stephens, wife of the Head Centre, is re siding at Dalkey, and may be seen shopping in Kings town, quite unconcerned apparently at p in f in made about her husband. There is a remarkable discourse in the Free man's Journal, beaded " The Panic about Fenianism." It is by a priest, the Rev. Dr. Rice, of Queenstown. lie de precates the alarm on the subject, but uses the following curious language :—" However, it would be idle to deny we must recognise the fact that there is an immense amount of disloyalty and discontent in the country. It is widely spread, and extends far and away outside the range of the Fenian. But without a foreign invasion this will not menace the peace or security of the country. If England were involved in a war with any of the great power', then, indeed, we might be quite sure of the great calamities of a civil war, and then, despite of the efforts of the priests, many of those who are sot now avowed allies of Fenianism would join that body through hatred of England, and for the purpose of getting rid of English rule in Ireland. Until such a contingency there need be no cause for fear or alarm." Yesterday the workmen of Chatham dockyard commenced working additional hours, both morning and evening. to make up for the additional holiday which will be given them on the day preceding Christmas -day. A new game has been invented by the Empress Eugenie for the amusement of her guests. The official reception at Compiegne terminates at 10 o'clock. Her Majesty at that hour retires to her private apartments, where those of the inritis whom she has honoured by a special invitation are receiv - 1 by her without any cere mony. A velvet bag, filled with slips of parchment, on each of which the name of a guest is inscribed, is banded to her Majesty, who draws from thence a single name. The individual thus chosen by fate is bound to relate a story which will amuse the company daring the space of one hour. At the last party M. Edmund About excelled in this story-telling ; but it appears that the amusing con tributor to the Feyaro, Alberic Second, has thrown him completely into the shade. A letter from Rome, dated the ith, says : ,` The present state of uncertainty is disastrous to Roman trade, especially such branches of it as depend for encouragement on foreigners. Very few apartments are let, and the hotels are nearly empty, for people hesitate in coming to Rome just before an unde. finable crisis. The Duke of Argyll, with the duchess and their family and suite, are going to leave the Hotel d'Europe and return to Florence before the political storm which now darkens the horizon hunts in thunder over the Eternal City. Mr. Gladstone is still here. The journals seem to have left off tormenting him by narrations of his supposed colloquies with the Pope ; and although he had an interview with Cardinal di Pietro this morning, and is assiduously courted by Monsignors Nardi. newspaper correspondents begin to be convinoed that he has no wish to bear off the Pope to Malta, and that he is in reality more interested just now in studying and commenting on the works of Dante than the words of Pio Keno." Count de Flahaut, Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, has artivod in Paris from England, accompanied by his family. A disastrous fire took pla ce at Hong Kong on the night of the 30th of Oat. Over 200 native houses have been destroyed. TILE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) CLERRENWELL. FALSE SCALES AND MEASURES. Thomas Taylor, a greengrocer, of 34.

We regret to announce that another frightful explosion has taken place in the Oaks Colliery, the scene of the dreadful calamity of yesterday. The second explosion took place about ten minutes to 9 o'clock this morning, and whilst the parties in charge were in the act of drawing out the dead consequent upon the previous explosion. There are large numbers of volunteers in the mine, who went down this morning. Among them is the steward of the colliery, Mr. David Teward, who was, with Mr. Dymond, the first to descend yesterday. Up to 8 o'clock this morning no lees than 80 dead bodies have been recovered. Several of those got out alive have since died. There are yet about 250 bodies in the pit. The report was like that of a cannon ; it shook the whole of the works and the neighbouring dwellings. The report of the second disaster spread like lightning, and hundreds of the friends, relatives, and others instantly approached, while the poor creatures in the pit were quickly on the spot. The scene of yesterday was again re newed. The women could be met in the road to the colliery fainting with excessive grief, while others are seen tearing their hair apparently wild with excitement. The scene in the neighbourhood of the colliery is truly heartrending. LATEST. Since telegraphing the above we are glad to learn that the whole of the volunteers have been got out alive. MURDER OF A CHILD. INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) Thin forenoon, Mr. W. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, resumed an inquhy at the Marquis of Granby tavern, Union-street, Borough, respecting the su pposed murder of a male child, aged 6 weeks, that was alleged cised to be the offspring of a young woman named Emma Williams. On Monday fortnight a labourer named John Pe rr y found the dead body of the deceased floating in the Thames at Bankside. The child was dressed in workhouse clothing. Two witnesses deposed that the clothes were the same as those that were supplied to the pauper infants at the St. Saviour's Union Workhouse, Southwark. Mary Lilley said that she was an inmate of the St. Saviour's Union. She had been shown the dead body of the deceased, and she identified the child as that of Emma Woliams. Witness had nursed the deceased from Satur day, the 11th November , up to Saturday, the I st inst ant. The child was in good halth when witness bort saw hiun alive. The clothes in which the child was dressed when found were the same as those worn by him when he was taken from the workhouse. Dr. Henry John Thorpe , 3, Bridge-street, Southwark, deposed that he bad made a post-mortem examination of the body of the deceased child, and he had ascertained that the cause of his death was drowning. A constable said that he bad made inquiries since the last sitting of the court, but he bad not been able to dis cover the whereabouts of Emma Williams. He could say more, but it would be better not to do so. Mary Lilley recalled, said that she had never beard Emma Williams threaten to injure the child while she was in the workhouse. She was always veil kind to it. It was stated that Emma Williams was about 26 years old. When in the workhouse she stated she was a married woman, and that her husband was in the countij. She also said that she had several children. The Coroner recommended the yto return an open verdict. The case could then be investigated before the magistrate, when the police apprehended the woman Williams. The jury, after a abort deliberation, returned • verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons un known," and the jury requested that, as a crime bad been committed against society, the Coroner should bring the circumstances of the murder of the deceased under the notice of the Secretary of State, and that he should be asked to offer a reward for the apprehension of the party suspetted of the crime. The proceedings then terminated. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) TECRIDAT. DEMME DER :3. g L.Y. -- - -----_____ I r. 1 EXCreme. ;Sea ________ i 3. it W. ikte ..7--..1 W.

FooTBALL. —The match between Eton College and the Civil Service sill be played to-morrow afternoon, on the Civil Service Cricket Ground, in Battersea Park, commencing at 2.30 p.m. WRECK uN THE YORKSHIRE CoAST.—WITHERN SEA, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—At dsybreak yesterday (reports Mr. Champney) a Migwas observed on her broadside, about three quarters of a mile north of this place, and her crew in a boat a slum l; distance off. There was a heavy surf breaking on the shoie at the time, and fears being entertained that the crew might attempt to land, signals were made to warn them off, and the lifeboat of the Na tional Lifeboat institution was quickly launched to their assistance. The lifeboat soon reached the shipwrecked crew of six men and rescued them, and they were safely landed on the beach. The bGg's boat was swamped in being towed by the lifeboat through he surf. The vessel proved to be the brig G t eorge, of Lowestoft, bound to that port from Shields, with coals. When she struck at 1.30 a.m., the night was dark, rainy. and squally, and the sea imme diately washed over her. The forecastle and cabin being full of water, and her sternpost gone, the master and crew took to their boat about 4 a.m., and remained by their vessel until they saw the signals from the shore, towards which they then pulled, and were reseu , d by the lifeboat. The brig, it is feared, will become a total wreck. The villagers were all soon aroused, and rendered every assistance. 184 LEOOBI . B FAREWELL—Mr. Donaldson, a re tired famous Southampton comedian, nearly 80 years old, has just published his recollections of the stage. Ile states that Incledon, the celebrated singer, made his de!%t on the stage at Southampton in 1784, and took leave of the stage in the same town in 1824. The following was his farewell address L.,dies and Gentlemen,—l re turn my most grateful thanks for this last mark of your esteem. This glorious assemblage will be dear to my heart as long as life remains. This is the ground from which I made the start forty years ago, and the fostering smiles and cheering plaudits of this refined and elegant town proved a passport to the metropolis of my native country. In the proud capital I was hailed w i th enthusiasm, and the sovereign pronounced me the British national singer. Everyone present may not know what a national singer means. A national singer is a man that hesin in erery nation. I retire fro üblic life with consolation to my feelings that I n e v er neglected my duty to my parents. During my long career I have reared and educated a large family that are a blessing to me. In this arduous task I ha v e been assisted by my darling wives—l have had three ; the first was the sainted Jane ; the second the angel Mary ; and the third—still living—is the divine Martha. sow , ladie s and gentlemen, the tire has arrived to bid you farewelL Painful as it is, lam grieved to say it ; but I pronounce the word —wishing youe and yours health, prosperity, and many happy day s—far well."

The dealers are still engaged in the settlement of the fort. nightly account. The applications for discount to-day are upon a very moderate scale, while the supply of money is large. The rate is 31 to per cent. The charge for short loans in the Stock Exchange is 24 per cent. Consols are now quoted esi to 4, ex div., for money, and 88i to , ex div., for the account (January 10). In the foreign stock market Turkish Bonds of 1865 are flat, and have declined 1 per cent. Greek, Spanish Passive, the Committee's Certificates, and Italian of 1861 have also receded to 4, but Turk ish of 1862 have improved 4, being quoted 58 to 59.

There were no bullion operations at the Bank yesterday. The amount sent in since the date of the last return is 197,000/., while only 10,0001. has been withdrawn during the week for exportation. The amount of government bills on India, for which tenders will be received at the Bank of England on the 19th inst., will be rupees 35,00,000 (350,000/.) The failure has recently been announced of Messrs. Mitchell and Aspinall, tea brokers, id Great Tower-street. Their liabilities are stated to be considerable. Messrs. Edward Hollins and Francis James Bligh, cotton manufacturers, of Preston and Man chester, have executed a deed of assignment, which was registered in the Court of Bankruptcy on the Bth inst. to trustees, fur the benefit of the creditors, as in bankruptcy. With reference to the petition for winding up the Anglo-Italian Bank (Limited), already referred to as to be heard before Vice-Chaneellor Hahne to-morrow, it appears that the petitioner's soli citors have intimated that they are instructed to withdraw the p e tition, and to pay the costs to which the bank has been put in the matter. Although it is not believed that the bank can have sustained any detriment through the presentation of this unfounded petition, it seems a great pity, especially considering how sensitive is sometimes the credit of a bank or other public company, that proceedings of this sort can be taken, and placarded publicly, upon grounds that may possibly prove utterly inadequate to sustain them. The liquidators of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited) have determined to divide the amount rcalised from the assets, reserving the amount re ceived in respect of the call until the decision of the court has been obtained in the cases now under consideration. The present distribution will be at the rate of 2s. 6d. in the pound. But for the pending litigation the dividend would have been rive shillings. The London and North Western traffic return shows this week a decrease of 151/. compared with the corresponding period cf 1865, and the Midland a decrease of 1,315/. A meeting of the bondholders of the South Eastern of Portugal Railway Company is invited for the 14th inst. by the committee which was ap pointed on the 2nd of August. It is notified that the holders of Illinois State Sterling Canal Bonds (Registered), on which 5 per cent. of the principal is payable in New York on i January 2, may present their bonds to Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co., that the payment may be stamped thereon and a certificate granted, which will enable the parties to receive their money in New York. Creditors of the Marlborough Club Company (Limited) are required to send the particulars of their claims to Mr. Frederick Parker, the provi sional official liquidator, by the 11th January. the 30th January having been appointed to adjudicate up ,n them. In p r eparation for Friday's settlement the rates charged yesterday for carrying over British railway stocks were generally light, and the same remark applies to most other secnrities, euniey being abundant.

He remarked .everal pumps as exquisitely beautiful, and objected to some few, which Crabbe. on I.,..ixing his objections, altered before publica tion. th a t more than or.ce that it was a improved pretty . poem ; Crahhe's condition in the world had improved since he wrote " The Village," and his view of life and mankind had improved likewise. Be was pa. ticularly p o ff struck with the description of the substantial liappMess the farmer's wife. It is singular that Crabber poetry should have been corrected by Johnson, praised by Burke. and have occupied the minis of Fox and Walter Scott when they wets dying. After the conversation with Lord Holland which I have related a page or two back, the terniie.tion ap proached rapidly. Mrs. Fox, who had a strong ' , llse of religion, wished to have prayers read at his bedrble. At her desire. Mr. Eouverie, a sensible and friendly clergy man, stood behin 1 the curtain, and in an isuithle voice read the prayers of the church. Fox remained uhustially quiet. Towards the end of the prayer , .

EXPRESS FRO* PARIS. ME REORGANISATION OF THE ARMY. UPWARDS OF 1,200,000 MEN. (nom ous own coaassrosnium PARIS, WZDNDIDAT EVISING. The project which by an accepted misnomer ca ged the " reorganisation of the army," but ehich, in reality, is a frightful augmentation of t he military force of France, threatening to all the sorld, and fraught with ruin and revolution at home, is r evealed in its main outlines by the Moniteur to . e b a y. Many details upon which the high military commission is known to be at loggerheads are yet unsettled, but the government thinks it d u e to the " legitimate impatience" of the public to declare at once the "bases" of the new UNA du sung. When the " reorganisation of the army" was first talked of as a necessary eon sequence of the military successes of Prussia, the public was led to believe that it would consist in the introduction of the Chassepot rifle and some improvement in the method of recruit ing, which would not materially aggra. rate the burden of the army to the coun try. The semi-official prints have gra dually prepared the public mind to put a different i n terpretation on the word "reorganisation," and D ow the terrible truth is out. I really think the Emperor must be mad, or as the Pope says, troubled in his mind," to make such a monstrous proposition to this country as the guniteur this day contains. He declares it to be necessary to " maintain " the position of France in t he world, and to protect her against invasion to have a standing army of 1,232,215 men—not for an emergency, but for a permanency. Not as an " acci dental measure," depending on the "caprice of pub lic opinion," but as a fixed institution. Starting from the calculation that the entire French nation pro duces annually 326,000 young men of 20, the Em peror proposes every year to draw 160,000 "of the best of them" (les honsmes les plus entities) for military service. All these men, whether classed in the regular army, or the reserve will be prevented from marrying and will be unable to addict themselves permanently to any civil career. It is pretty well demonstrated by statistics that 160,00 0 is the utmost number of healthy well-constructed men that France can show mutually. Every " valid " man therefore, will be taken, and the infirm, the diseased, the half-grown, the squalid, will alone be left to l a bour, pay taxes, and propagate a degenerate progeny. The whole nation is to be " disciplined," and that to prevent invasion ; whereas in former times an army of 250,000 men, instead of one of a million and a quarter, was found abun dantly sufficient for the purpose. The pretext of a defensive purpose is so hollow that it is impossible to forego the conclusion that the Emperor revolves in his mind a tremend ous European war of aggression when he gets his troops home from Mexico to join those now coming from Rome, and when the Exhibition of 1867 shall be over. The great consolation is that the world has a year's respite. lam thoroughly certain that France cannot afford the immense army contemplated, and that the nation will not tolerate the infliction for a permanency. Nothing but the excitement of war will make the French nation now-a-days submit to have the whole flower of its youth drawn from the field and loom to support the damaged prestige of an emperor. The Bourse was again firm. Rente rose The. for cash and 21fr. for account, closing at 60fr. 70c. in each case. Italian rose 50c., and Credit Foncier 12fr. 50c. Mobilier was without change. The Mimorinf d'.4 miens says :—" On Monday morning this city was painfully affected on learn ing that one of the principal banking-houses of the place, that of Charoy-Degove, had suspended payment." CHARGE OF POISONING TWO WIVES AND A SON. The Court of Assizes of the Deux-Sbvres (Niort) las just tried a wealthy farmer named Martin Reim on a triple charge of murder by poison. The persons whose death he caused were his first wife, Marie Jeanne, his second, Julie, and a son of the latter, Abel Riau. He is also suspected of having murdered his brother Pierre by similar means, but, as this latter died in 1853, and as by the law of France no one can be tried for murder after the lapse of ten years from the time the crime was committed, this last case was not gone into. Towards the end of 1856 the first wife was taken ill with a violent inflammation of the throat and chest, and expired in great agony in December of that year. She was much afraid of her husband and very un happy, and frequently told her neighbours sthat he admin istered medicine to her to avoid having any family. In April, 1858, the prisoner married as his second wife a young girl named Julie Bontemps, described by all the witnesses u a charming person, hut not long after her marriage she lost her spirits and her health, and began to decline, her husband forcing her to take certain mixtures which he prepared under the same pretence as in his first wife's case. However, in the year 186 4 , she became pregnant, and Wan openly expressed his annoyance, and subjected her to most violent ill-usage, with the hardly concealed pur- Pose of producing premature labour. These measures, however, failed, and the boy Abel was born, who waa im mediately sent by the prisoner out to nurse to an elderly women who was living in great distress and poverty, where the infant was utterly neglected by its father. In April, the second wife became very ill, and was attended by a doctor of the neighbourhood. But the husband nearly always administered the remedies prescribed. She con tinued suffering until July of the same year, when she died, the symptoms of her illness being precisely similar to those witnessed in the case of the former victim. In the com mencement of January. 18liti, the prisoner began to mani fest an interest in the child Abel, who bad been removed to the house of the grandfather, and, who immediately upon the prisoner's visiting him, exhibited the same distressing symptoms as his mother, and died on the 27th of the month. The suspicions or uneasiness which had been excited amongst the neighbours by the previous deaths attained such a degree at this last instance that they applied to the authorities, who arrested Riau and had the four bodies exhumed. The chemical analysis of the remains disclosed, in each case, the presence in large quantities of a deadly poison, the perchloride of mercury or corrosive sublimate, which had even saturated the earth surrounding the cof fins. In each of the four deaths, Rkau had a pecuniary interest, as he inherited from his brotLer ; his flirt wife had inside a will in his favour, and his second had done so likewise to the extent of half her property, the remainder Ruing to her son Abel, but in case of his death reverting t) the prisoner. By all these inheritances Beau bad amassed property of some 150,000 fr. The evidence left no doubt of the prisoner's guilt, and the jury having returned a ver dict of guilty with extenuating circumstances, ho was sen tenced to hard labour for life. 13. e fol.
