LAW INTELLIGENCE. coura OF COMMON FL/MS.-Dir. 16. IliMims st NW Prins in Loaclor•—(Befor• Load Chid Junks &i. sad • Special Jury.) =away r. BOTILSCIIILD—THZ FUMES YIIOM • GOLD itaFINEIT. The phuntiff in this cue, a widow woman, 65 yearn of age, seed to mover damages upon the ground that her son had meet his death through iohaliog fumes that came from the chimney and root of Baron Rothschild's gold refinery in Mega Mint-street. Mr. Serjemit Perry and Mr. Graffiti' appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Bevil', Q.C., and Mr. Cohen for the de. t. The plaintiff's counsel said that the case was of a peculiar aid remarkable character. The deceased was a man 30 pars of age, and he had earned, when in full work, 335. • week. Ile supported the plaintiff, who lived with him. In August, ISta, lie was in the service of Messrs. Otibitt, and was employed to building a new chimney shaft at the de fendant's gold refinery, which shaft was to be considerably higher than the old one, so as more effectually to carry off the fumes which were generated in the works. The old that was lOU feet high, and when the new one was ap proaching that height the deceased was one day on the top at work. Sulphuric acid was used in separating the bane assitale from the gold, and the fumes from the acid, in com bination with the metals, were discharged in a sulphurous gat, which was exceedingly deliterious. These discharges oc cerred occasionally, and on the ':20.1 of August, the day io question, the plaintiff inhaled a quantity of this l eo, and went home pale and ill. From that time forward he had a bad cough, and he was a patient at the Kirriogilou Dispensary for about a month or more. Afterwards symptoms of mental disease appeared, and in a short time he had to be removed to Hanwell Lunatic Asy. lira, where he died in about tee days. The learned counsel said that down to the time when the deceased went to work on the chimney he was to all appearance a strong, healthy man. aad it was a fact that he had never had a day's illness. It would not, however, be denied that although apparently in perfect health, there were within him the latent seeds of a pulmonary disease which the inhalation of this gas developed late a state of malignant activity. The Lord Chief Justice direek-d the jury that to entitle the plaintiff to recover she toast show that her son bad lost his life in consequence of some wrongful act for which the def,wlaot was liable ; that was, that there had not been that degree of care which ought to have been used in dialing with a matter of this kind. The jury found a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. DEC. IG. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) I !II r. CLIETWENIE—srEcEti. JCRT. The Queen's advocate. Mr. Kerslake.

The " Feuer* took place on the 15th of August, 1514. the pe tau iner being then about lit years of age, and the respoudeut ale, it 42. There had been two children : Florence, born si le Path of !seemlier. and Arthur, born on the 21.4 of July, lese. The ponies cohabited at Longden Hall.

Th e d e s •oed gentleman entered into some detail with re spect to tie alleged charges, which, he said, were of a very painful a cad extraordinary character, but which will be more rhpha j e , ,athered from the evidence. All Has witnesses having been ordered out of court, y r. J, es Gardiner—l am a solicitor at Itngeley. I wan oted with both the parties before their marriage ; I was empi "red to draw the settlements. and was present at t h e we d, !in& which took place at St. George's, Hanover mum,. t he 15th of Angu-t, (The conic 'cote was put in.) bi„ el m eyed— lam the petitioner.

Ilia manner wee very coarse, and being vee v yOnog I naturally felt it more keeuly than I efterw, rda did. He used to call me " a t e t e ,' " and things of that kind. He did not, however, tse that language so often at first. I became pregnant in the March after my marriage. About that time we had guests in the house, and I w o n l a t e one morning for b rea k rest. That was quite unintentional on any part, but he eau e up to fetch me, and afterreirds said - " You - lay sow, kick you out of bed, and teach you to be late stain." I fe said that in the presence of our guests. Ile used the :raise kind of language during niv second pregnancy. lie A fterwards did kick me out of bed. I have base frequently to - ..ked out of my room, and had to sleep on the stairs. He would come home drink, fetch use or both of the children down and pet them into my bed ; and then when I came he would me foul Lateen.% and bid me sleep elsewhere. If I did go elsewhere he abused me, sod I had to sleep on the stairs. or else call np the servants, and have another bed made up for me. That often occurred when I bad been tinier errands for him. I constantly did erraeds for him. I sold horses for him. I showed them to people. I took letters for him, and fetched people —services to which I had never before been accustomed. He hes abstained from !peeking to me fora month at a time. I have lad to wait in the puny carriage for him at public-house door, till 12, 1, or ?o'cicrk in the morning ; and then I have had to drive him home drunk. I have waited for him four or five been at a time. I recollect coming home on one occasion from riding. It wet in March or April, POil. He objected to my riding. I had been invited to dine at Beaudesert (toe seat of Lord Anglesey). but my friends objected to my going. He told me, how ever, that he would turn me out en the streets, and I might become a prostitute ; or else he would have me go with him wherever be pleased, even if it was into a brothel. Know ing that I had to live with him. I premixed to do what he wished end accompany him to Beendesert. He made me go out with him that day boating. It was the Let, meeting of the season, which is always a very grand day. I rode with my brother, the Lords Paget, and other friends. The run was a long nue, and we were very late. As I passed Beau desert I celled and told the tearquie, who wan good enough to order iliauer to be delayed half so hour on my account. I made all the baste I could, but my husband was exc - 'lively angry with me. He took up a whip and threatened me with it, said then be kicked me down some stairs. Ile ordered me to leave the house, but I went into my room. Boon afterwards he came to me, and swore that be would he obeeed. He then kicked me down the stairs a second time, and drove me out of the house into the rain. I went away to some (Heeds of ours named Wells. Previous 10 Oil., just before I was confined, I one day begged him to excuse me from going down to dinner on account of the elate of my health. Ile wed fearful language; am I obliged to repeat it! The Lemea's Advocate thought not ; there had been suffi cient evidente on that praat. Witness—He has male me clean grates and do house work, for be ,ent his servants away and filled his hone, with eompativ. I resisted, but he was so violent that it was more thou my life was worth to refuse. After the birth of my second child he said he did not intend to have any more. for be could not afford it. Londer..hiall belonged to him. bat I never knew his income. He was in the habit of getting up early in the morning and cleaning out the nice He would then sit dowo to breakfast smelling dreadfully of moor pie wash. When I have remonstrated with him, be would say it was all my 4 retioement. In 1862 I was ill, at Queen'iogiirdens, Barnsder. He used very coon..

He then went away, but directly sfterwards returned, took up a dirty door mat, and beat both roe and Mns Corns with it. Finally, he took up the gold I bed brought him, and threw it at the door, making such a noise that at first I thought he had shot me. lie then went away. Mrs. Corns and I did not know what to remake of him. We thought he must be mad. On the occasion on which ho called me "a slimy reptile" I waited till I thought be was safe in bed, and then I went to Mr. Knight, a clergyman at Lichfield, and sent for Mr. Nicholson, who in my solicitor. I had to walk all the way to Lichfield, which is about four miles. I went after ten at sight. I did red go home again till Mr. Nicholson advised me. I wrote a letter to the respondent, while I was away from him. I left him on the •th of June, and returned ten davit afterwards. IA correepoodsoce between !Impolitic:Ger and her husband was then pat in. The petitioner complained of the (ireful husirnams which was used be the respondent is the presence of her ehildren ; sod also of the unprovoked assault upon her. The reep.mdent, in reply, spoke of some plot that Ins had discovered between bey and her cook. This sbn denied, sad defied him to prove her to be, as he " ad infernal, making, lying, b— b—." She also rthapitn land the illtreatment the had described in evidence.' Examination resumed-1 hadafavonrite hone called "the Doctor." One day I found the respondent beating thi.hm se, and when 1 remonstrated with him, he said that if I would on have any bone bastes he would bon me. He struck me several times with a pitchfork. I had also adog called " Spot." Mr. Chetwynd wanted to take it into the garden, and it would not follow him. I heard him beating it, and ran down stairs without my shoes. He struck the dog with a hammer and knocked a tooth down it. threat while it was in my arms. To save any further trouble I went away just as I was without my shoes, and took the dog to the farm, which was four or five fields off. (A letter was put in from the respondent after the separation, threa tening that if she did not pay her debts be would advertise her, and calling her • d-- infernal liar and swindler.) I became: a Roman catholic in 1862. 1 bad no differences with my husband on the score of religion. I ultimately left his house on the 4th of January, 1863. Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—l have acted under the advice of my friends ; but I decline to say under whose except under that of Mr. Nicholson, my solicitor. I first became acquainted with Mr. Chetwynd at the end of 1853. while I was staying at his mother's house after a ball. I was then living at home with my father. I really hardly remember of what my father's establishment then con sisted. We had • governess, a housekeeper, • cook, a butler, a groom, and other servants. Mr. Hawkins—ln one of your husband's letters I find this passage, " When you condemn me, I edvise you to think of yourself and your former life, and take the beam out of your own eye." What does that refer to! Witness—l am not bound to answer the question, unless you pot it straight to me. Mr. Hawkins—Don't you know what it mean! Witness—Not unless you suggest some meaning, and then I will answer you. Whatever it refers to, it was known to Mr. Chetwynd before my marriage, and it concerned himself alone. _ _ . .„-- Str.Hawkwa—Wu you:daughter Florence your firstohild? Witness—She was not. The Queen's Advocate, interposing, submitted that hie learned friend bed no right to ask questions respecting any. tiring that might have occurred before the marriage. Witness —I would far rather answer any questions that may be put to me. It is dreadfully painful. no doubt, but I have my children and my own character to protect. (Cheats.) The Queen's Advocate submitted that notwithstanding the statement of the wiener, the court ought not, for the sake of its own regularity, to enlarge the inquiry beyond that defined by the petition. The Judge Ordinary doubted whether that could properly be done. Mr. Hawkins wialied to cross-examine the witness on this point, in order to explain the quarrels which were said to hare gccurred five or six mouths after the marriage. The Judge Ordinary in that case could not prevent the questions from being put. Witness (to Mr. Hawkins)—Mr. Chetwynd married know ing everything about me. Mr. ilawkius-1 do not want to press the matter beyond that. _ _ . Cross-examination resumed—The first quarrel that took place between me and my husband was owing to my being late for breakfast. Mr. I.l3etwyrid never made any complaint to me about my extravagance. I have an income of my own. I have a legacy of 3,0001. left me, and I had something under my mother's will. I do not know exactly haw much, for Mr. Chetwynd keeps back a portion of it from me, though he wu ordered not to do so. lie never complained to me of having involved him 3,000/, in debt. to the time I left him he never paid a farthing for me in his life. All his complaints about my debts are in writing, and can speak for themselves. In a letter of mine beginning "Dear old Billy, don't scold me again for six mouths, and it shall not occur agaio," I did not refer to my debts. I w..s alluding to my sister s' visits to Longdou. He had made me promise that no one be longing to me should pug his threshold. I had incurred considerable debts when I left Longdoo ; but I never ioteoded the respondent to pay them. He sent a most blackguard notice to the tradespeople, and I have never seen their bills. I cannot say that their amount wet 2,0001. or 3,000/. Since the petition was tiled I have heard that he bee been sued by six different persons for debts contracted by me. There is a milliner's bill for 2;01., but I bad given Kl. to one Thins Pomfret to pay on account of it, and it appears that that was not done. There are not twelve dressmakers to whom I owe bills. I have bad a discussion with Madame Elise about her bill of 91. 1 sesert that it is paid. Sir J. P. Wilde—What bearing has this in the cue ? it suggested that the cruelty was caused by these bills ? Mr. Hawkins—No, my lord. Sir J. P. Wilde—Then it seems to me that we ought not to go into the matter. . . . . . . . Mr. Hawkins—lt would tend to explain a great deal of Mr. Chetwynd's irntatron. Witness—tin the 6th of June, 1863, there lied been no discussion on the subject of my debts. There bed been a discussion about hi. adultery with a servant named Caroline. I had borrowed rot. of • horse dealer named Hayes, but I bad repaid it ; and Mr. Chetwynd had • dispute with him on money matters. The two books produced are a diary kept by me. Ido not remember tearing leaves out of the third book produced. I took nothing away when I left the hall. I arrived at Beandeeert on the occasion I have spoken to at a little after 7. The seta of violence were witnessed by Mrs. Corns and the servant Sarah. Ido not know if they are here. I mentioned what had occurred to Mr. Webb, to whose house I went. I remained away five or six days. Mr. Webb was a rartner in Mr. Salt's bank. I remained at his house the whole of the five or six days. I received a letter hem Mr. Chetwynd while I was there. It told me that I was not to return home till I had apologised to the marchioness, which I refesed to do. I afterward. beanie intimate at Di...desert. and I wee there when Lady Flo rence and Lady Winchilsea were at the house. I went home from Mr. Webk.'s Weans' Mr. Chetwynd came and fetched me. Mr. Wilmot was at the house when I asked permission net to go down. Ido not know if anybody was present when that noterred which I have described, bet Mr. Wilmot may perhaps recollect it. The respondent used bad language to me as much in public as in private. Thereat(' witeeseee here to hie violence. Sarah Pries, Mrs. COM!, and other minute. It was in the early pert of Dial that he made me clean grata. I cemphiined of it to Mr. Nicholson and Mr. Salt. I have freqmintly waited for my husband outside the Dolphin, at Lichfield. tine occasion was after the Bower day. I drove about the country, end hunted a great deal—often alone. I have bees to balls by myself when my hushind has allowed me. I have stayed away on such occasion. foe two or three drive at a time, bat never without his knowledge and sane. tion. I never left hems without his sanction, except on those occasion* of violence, when I did not require it. I was staying at Bayswater, at Mr. Wilks', who was one of the commissioners of lunacy. I had had various visitors in my bedroom ; amongst them were Mr. Meyoell Ingram, Captain Keith Fraser, Mr. Henry Mathews, Mr. Wilts, my sister, Mitre Gifford, and other ladies. I was confined to my room for two days. My husband bad never, up to that time, mentioned his disapproval of my acquaintance with Mr. Mathews. His bad league*e had reference to my ODD condition, and tot to Mr. Mathews. The servants put flour against the door of Mr. Ctieterynd's bedroom, bat I was not aware that they intended to so. I never said that or. husband's faults were trifles compared with my own. I never thought so. Mr. Hawkins—l have • reason for putting the question in that form. _ _ . itnees—l perfectly know your reason. I have always been in the habit of keeping a diary, but not from day to day. Sometimes when I have had nothing to do I have written in entries for three months together. I cannot say that my diary always expressed my true feeliogy—it de pended a good deal on the humour I was in. I never wished to quatrel with Mr. Chetwynd, but I always tried to make pesos with him. Re-examined—l was on the bed one day that I was at Bayswater, and the rest of the time on the sofa. The hat time Mr. Mathews came my husband himself brought him up, and wall with him while he stayed. I think the first time I I waited for the respondent at a public•house door ►t night I was after the Bower day ; but I have bees accustomed to wait for him at public-houses all my married life. He did not disapprove of my hunting. On the contrary, I ore.] to get horribly laughed at by him if I was not first iii the field. Towards the last be did not let me have any of my friends. Nobody came to see me except my brother, Mr. Harvey Talbot, who did not mind him. The people who came were horse dealers, pig drivers, and cow dealers. I was fre quently made to sit down to dinner with them. My hue band was a hone dealer himself. Ile took out a license four or five years ago. Lady Chetwynd lived at Loogdon till August. ISO°, when she left and give Lougdon to my husband. My mother lift me more than 631. a year ; but I don't know exactly how much. When I left Lougd m I believe my clothes were sold by auction at Birmingham— ( I. laugh)—at all events they were not given to me. though I often applied for them. Mr. Chetvrynd did remonstrate with me about the IV. which I had borrowed from Mr. Haves. It was not for myself. I had not repaid it at the time promised, and Mr. Hayes wrote to my buil:mod about it., lle mentioned the matter to nit. and as I had the money by nie I immediately sent it to Mr. ll►yea, sod I heard no more of it. Diaries are stupid things. I put down all sorts of things in mine—things that I never meant, things that I imagined, and things that never happened. The Court then adjourned. OXFORD CIRCIIIT.—.WORCEBTER, Dzo. 15. John Butler was indicted for the wilful murder of Catherine Gulliver, at Grebesley, oa the 13th of August last. Mr. Richards conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Mot tram the definer. The p ieone was a lock-keeper at one of the locks of the Hirer Severn Navigation, in this county. After the death of his wife some years ago he took the deceased to live with him as his housekeeper, and, according to the testimony of their neighbours, they frequently quarrelled together. Late on Saturday night, the 13th of August, the de ceased went to a neighbour's, named Green, and com plained that the prisoner bad been Musing her. Mn. Green recommended her to return home, but told her that if Butler would not admit her she might sleep at her house (Green's). After a while Gulliver returned home, and not long afterwards a man, named Harris, and his wife, who lived near Butler's, heard cries proceeding from the deceased, the cries being described as like those of a sheep bleating. She was also calling some person a " scamp" and a " villain." Nothing more was heard of the deceased ; and as she was not seen at Butler's for some days afterwards, inquiries were made of him as to her whereabouts, when be made various mowers, and the clergyman of the with, after ta l k' to him, having his atm iciens excited, the elver was and the body of the was found in the water • t3O yards below the locks. The prisoner, who seemed much dejected, was then apprehended on the charge of murder. The trial lasted nearly all day, and the jury were locked up at half -put 4 o'clock. After ao absence of about an hour they returned into court with a verdict of Guilty. The learned judge then (after the usual proclamation) put on the black cap, and addressing the prisoner in a most feeling and solemn tosonor, passed the sentence of death. NORTHERN CIRCIIIT. —LIVERPOOL, Dec. 16. Caowr Coarr.—(Before Mr. Justioe Mellor.) Ellis Green, 46, was indicted for the minder of Elizabeth Lowe, his sister-in-law, at Liverpool,on the 2nd of October. The prisoner. his wife, and the deceased lived together in • court leading from Harrington-street. On the day men tioned the prisoner came home intoxicated, and almost im mediately commenced an assault upon his wife and the deceased. He afterwards knocked the deceased down with a violent blow, jumped from a box upon her chest, and with his nailed boots inflicted very serious injuries upon her. He afterwards kicked her with great fury about the bead and face, and not content with this, he threw the box upon the breast of the deceased, and struck her several blows upon the head and face with his fist. She tried to get to her feet, bat fell down again ; blood rushed from her mouth and nostrils, and she was removed to the Northern Hospital, where she died on the following Monday. For the defence it was urged that the primmer was not aware of the dreadful injuries which he was inflicting, as be was drunk ; that be had no malicious intention ; and that the crime was that of manslaughter. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and sentence of death was pronounced. THE POLICE COURTS. _MANSION-110rSE Henry Feast andlartin:siweWagain placed at the ter to undergo a further examination upon the charge of obtaining from Mr. l.audale. a merchant in Austinfriars, by means of false pretences, the sum of 18.`4. Mr. Humphreys again appeared to prosecute ; and Mr. Sydney appeared for the prisoners. The particulars of the cams have already appeased on several occasions, but it will be remembered that the mode by which the money was obtained was by • representation by the prisoners that they had shipped a certain number of cases of pickles to Messrs. Caleoder and Co., of Melbourne, each came containing Uwe' dozen bottles, upon which Mr. Laudale advanced money to the prisoners to the extent of 75 per cent. on the value of the shipment. It turned out, however, that in several of the shipments, in stead of containing three dozen bottles as represented io the invokes delivered by the prisoners, they only contained one dozen each, and this was the fraud by which the pri soners are alleged to have obtained money from Mr. Lau. dale. The evidence which bad been previously adduced was relative to a shipment by the Matilda in deanery last. Yesterday, Mr. Humphreys opened two fresh imam one of which related to a shipment by a veiled called the Golden Horn, by which vessel the prisoners represented that they had shipped 160 cases of pickles, each containing 3 dozen bottles. Upon the faith of that representation, Mr. Lao. dale advanced 1371. The other case referred to a shipment of 250 canes by the Scotia, which were also represented to contain three dozen bottles. There was no advance, bow ever, made in respect to the shipment by the Scotia, a being • made to cover an advanos which had been previously made to the prisoners. When the prisoners were apprehended by Detective Sergeant Haydon, a pocket-book was found upon one of the prisoners, which contained some entries which tallied both in date and amount with the cheques which were given in respect to the Golden Horn consignment. Mr. Humphreys eked for another remand, and said the cases in both instances only contained one dozen bottles each, Untold of three. The prisoners were again remanded.

Lard Dorney, • very rough-looktof fellow, aged 31, of No. 37, Devonshire.pl.ce, St. George s-in.the.East, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with beiug drunk and disorderly inside the Blue Posts public-honse, in the West India road, Limehonsa, and refusing to leave when requested by Mr. Charles Rainey Balls, the landlord. This was a proceeding under a recent act of parliament, relating to houses of public entertainment. The prisoner entered the Blue Posts on Thursday evening, at balf.psst 5 o'clock, and demanded refreshoment. Mr. Balls refused to serve him, and told him be had been forbidden the house in consequence of his riotous conduct there on previous ocsusions. The prisoner refused to leave the house, and made a great disturbances He was ordered to leave, and oo his refusal the police were seat for, sod Caws°, a °mutable, No. 526 K, took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner was very turbulent, and interrupted the business of the public-house. The prisoner said he had been at work in a corn vessel and did 50 quarters. He went with his workmates to the Blue Pasts to settle their wages sod aooountaand after they had had seven or eight pots of porter, he wanted another pot, and the landlord refused to serve him. Mr. Balls maid be would sot supply the prisoner with any thing drunk or sober, and that he was the terror of the bouaobold. ife.lcitridge said the landlord was quite justified in what be had done.

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT AT MR. SPURGEON'S TABERNACLE. Yesterday the Rev. John Gurney, curate to the Rev. Mr. Green, incumbent of Trinity Church, Carlisle street, Lambeth, wee charged before Mr. Yardley, at the Lambeth Police-court, with creating a disturbance at Mr. Spurgeon 's Tabernacle, and assaulting Mr. Thome Trenton Price, a City minionary, and Mr. John Claverhouse, a member of Mr. Spurgeon's congreption, a surveyor of government stores. _ _ - The court was much crowded by the members of the Tabernacle and the friends of the prisoner. Mr. Culverwell, on being sworn, said he was employed to keep order at Mr. Spurgeon's chapel, and on the night before, between the hours of seven end eight o'clock, and during the performance of divine service, be was called to the first gallery, when he found the prisoner tipsy and creat ing a disturbance in • sort of growling now, which dis turbed the service, so that public attention was drawn to it while prayers were being offered. He (whines) asked the prisoner repestedly to leave, and not to disturb the congre gation, but he would not, and he was ultimately obliged to he removed by force, and in the struggle to get him out he struck him (witness) a blow on the eye, from the effects of which he was still suffering. Mr. Thomas Trenton Price gave evidence to the same effect, and said that officers belonging to the church begged the prisoner to desist, but he would not, and wee ultimately removed from the building to the gate, where he had a des perate struggle with those removing him. He placed his foot against the iron railings, and by this means resisted his removal, but they ultimately rot him nut. Knowing him before as the curate of Christ Church, Blackfners.road, the witness recommended him to take • cab and go home, but he refused, and insisted on going into the tabernacle again, and used filthy language and swore very much. A friend of his (witness) called a cab, and requested the rruoner to get into it with his wife and go home, but he refused to do so, and still insisted on going into the church. Police-constable Gales, 245 P, said that while Mr. Spur geon was reading a chapter in the Bible the prisoner called out, " • lie; you had better leave off ; that will do." Those expressions could be beard by the minister (Mr. Spurgeon), who called on the officers to turn him nut, and he (witness) assisted in doing so. The prisoner hallooed out at the top of his voice that he was church of England minister, and demanded an explanation from Mr. Spurgeon, and made a great disturbance. lie damned Mr. Spurgeon several times. _ _ _ . . Police-constable Thomas Shannon, 141 L. said at half past 10 o'clock the night before the prisoner was locked up in a cell by himself, and the moment he was put ia he cm menoad knocking and kicking at the door so violently that be broke the lock. He kept calling out ►t the top of his voice, " Let me see Spurgeon, I want to see Spurgeon," for a length of time, and was much excited. Inspector Heath, of the L division, bare declared that the prisoner was the most desperate man he had to deal with in all his experience of police matters. In fact, be was more like an untamed savage than a rational being, and it required the united exertions of four powerful men to re move him from the charge-room to the cell. The damage he bad done to the cell amounted to 10s., and there could be no doubt that be was mad drunk. Mr. John Addington, a member of Mr. Spurgeon's con gregation, said be knew the prisoner well as a general at- tendant at the tabernacle, and had always observed that he behaved exoeedingly well until the evening before. Ile bad also known him to be a minister of the church of England. The prisoner, who complained of his suffering in both body and mind, said th►t much of what bad been stated appeared to him like a dream, as be had no recollection whatever of it. It was true, he said, that ho had been in the habit of going to the chapel of Mr. Spurgeon, but so far from differing from that gentleman, he we ready to ac knowledge that he not only agreed with but admired much of what he said, and therefore he was at a perfect loss to account for his conduct. Ile would admit, however, that he had been drinking before he went to the chapel. Mr. Yardley here inquired if there were any of the friends of the prisoner present, as he should wish to know some thing of his recent ch►racter. A young woman, who gave the name of Caroline Wake field, here got into the witness-ton and said the prisoner, his wife, and two children lodged at the house of her father, 15, Union-street, Lambeth. lo reply to • question from the magistrate, the witness reluctantly admitted she had seen Mr. Gurney the worse for liquor, but added that she be lieved he otiose earnestly to do better. Mr. Yardley observed that the cause for the prisoner's extraordinary and disreput►ble conduct was quite appa rent, and the fact of his being a clergyman, so far from being an extenuation, was a considerable aggravation of his offence. Had a poor, illiterate, and ignorant man been pilty of similar misconduct there would be no hesitation in punishing him ; and why, he should ask, should there be any hesitation in punishing the prisoner, who from his posi tion in life and sacred calling as a minister of religion should not only have known better, but have set a better example. Under all the circumstances, he felt bound to commit him to seven days imprisonment. The prisoner appealed to the magistrate to be more lenient, laying he had a wife and two children dependent on him for support, and if sent to prison must lose his appointment. Mr. Yardley refused to remit the sentence, remarking that if the question was put to him, he would say that he was not a fit person to hold the position of a clergy man. THE CHARGE OF SCUTTLING A SHIP. Joseph John Mitcheson White, marine captain, and Robert Sutton. chief mate, were again placed at the bar of the Maosion•boase, yesterday, in custody of Detective Sergeant Moor, before the Lord Mayor, charged with scuttling tie vessel called the Snowdrop. Mr. Lewis, jun.. prosecuted ; Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. Stollens, appeared for White; and Mr. Beard for Sutton. _ _ The case, it will be remembered, was completed upon the last occasion before Sir Robert Carden (the Lord Mayor, before whom the previous examination had taken place, being unavoidably absent), and Mr. Sleigh having together with Mr. Beard, addressed Sir Robert with a view to obtain ing the discharge of their clients, upon the ground, as they contended, that the evidence was not sufficiently conclusive to justify their commitment., Sir Robert, however, not having heard the evidence given at the previous examine. tion, nod that given then before him being only relative to the apprehension of the prisoners, declined to give any opinion in the matter, and it was arranged that the case should be remanded. in order that it might beagan brought before the Lord Mayor for his decision. Mr. Sleigh addressed his lordship, and hoped that if he thought the evidence was sufficient to send the case before a higher tribunal, he would at least admit the defendant White to bail. Mr. Beard, as upon the last occasion, submitted that whatever the evidence against the captain might be, there was none at all against his client Sutton, and hoped that if his lordship thought the evidence was sufficiently conclusive against White, he would discharge Sutton from custody. If not, be argued it was at all events a case in which bail might be accepted. The Lord Mayor said he had heard the evidence, and carnet* the conclusion that it was ruch that he had no other coarse than to send the case to a jury, and he also declined to admit the prisoners to bail. The prisoners were committed accordingly. VaLun or CITY PROPERTY.—The lease for only five years, at a rental of 80/. per annum, of ao old house to Little Tower-street, built after the fire of London, was sold by auction by Mr. T. Sidney Smith, on Thursday list, for the large sato of 755 t. INDIAN BRANCH RAILWAY.—The fourth ordinary general meeting of the shareholders was held yesterday at the London Tavern. LieuteoanteGeneral Sim was in the chair. The report of the engineer is chief was laid before the meeting. It spoke very favourably of the condition and progress of the works. The chairman, in moving the adop tion of the report, maid he presumed the shareholders were aware that this railway was the first undertaken without • guarantee from the government of India. But although a guarantee was not given, assistance was afforded in another form, which the directors believed would be better than a guarantee of 5 per cent. Besides this, the company would have the advantage in the economy of construction and the very fertile country through which the line would pass—all of which advantages they believed would roods: it the most remunerative railway in India. The provinces through which the rail way would per were very direct, and their principal rail. way, 500 miler in extent, ran parallel with the drainage of the country, and there were very few rivers to cross, so that the construction of the works would be compara tively easy. It was calculated by the board that the cost would not be more than 5,0001. pee mile , including rolling stock, although their own engineer put the cost down at from 4,000/. to 4,500/. per mile. This was about one-fourth the coat of Indian lines. With regard to the experimental line mentioned in the report, the result might be coital dered perfectly satisfactory. They did not know exactly the cost of coostructios, nor the precise amount of traffic, but they believed that the expeoditure would not exceed 2,600/. or 2001. per mile, and that the traffic was probably equal to 5 per cent. on the outlay—more than had been naiad by any Indian company. The first section of the line wee what was called the Cawnpore line—from caeo pme to Luckaow, 44 miles in length, and front Luckaow to Byratighat, 12 miles more. These lines were commenced in May last, and they woes progressing satisfactorily. The pernmeent way would be rent out early next year, and they expiated that early in 1806 the line would be o pened for traffic. After some further observations he moved the adoption of the report, which having been seconded was carried unanimously. After some formal resolutions had been carried, • combal vote of thanks to the chairman and direekea clog the proosediap. 17, 1864.

Smyrna has been in fair request, but dull, at last week's rake. The demand for East India has been on a moderate scale, and the supply being liberal a gradual giving way in price took place, amounting to id. per in most descriptions.

Dre 16.—The market for shipping yarns has been very quiet to-day, with little disposition to operate en the part of buyers, and cons*. quently spinners are rather easier to deal with so for as prices ere concerned. The awe of the quietness is prin cipally the non-arrival of the India mail, as on Tucel iy. M►ny of our buyers are also disposed to await the arrival of • the American President's mirage, which they think may hold out hopes of terms to the South of a more favourable character than have been ►nticipated hitherto. At all events, it seems pretty clear that buyers are hesitating till they have news both from the East and the West. The market for home trade yarns is quiet but steady, and business in this description is affected by much the same causes ar that for export Tans. In cloths, since Tuesday, prices have been firm, but with. out much disposition on the part of buyers to purchase. The tone of comment adopted by some of the leading journals on the money market has also had a discouragiog effect, though counteracted, in some degree, by the actual reduction of discount*. If the India advices had been in, and had been as good as they are anticipated to be, we should, no doubt, have had more business; all operations. however, are suspended to-day, pending the arrival of these, and the amount of business has been small. Some speak of having been able to do rather better, but there is no doubt the market generally has been exceedingly quiet. Quotations ate tolerably firm.

With an average attendance of millers and dealers at this morning's market wheat has met a fair consumptive inquiry, without the least change from this dry week, except perhaps for the guest winter red, which, being warm and wanted, may be called a shade better. Flour remains the MUM. India° corn opened very dull, and 6d. per quarter cheaper, but buyers coming for- ward and taking all that was pressing for ode, it speedily recovered itself, and closed much as on Tuesday, or fully per quarter below this day week.
