SECOND EDITION. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (refore the Judge Ordinary.) wittrni: r. WIIITTI.t. Tbia part heard case was again resumed, and was still progressing when uur report left. COURT OF ADMIRALTY. (Ilefore the Hight Hon. Sir R. Phillicuore.) THE 4:KLAT I:I4TLILM $I EA11,:111., This was as applic,,tion on the part of the Great Eastern Steamship Company (Limited). The vessel was under arrest in several suits at Liverpool. The court had referred to the Registrar (Mr. Rothey), assisted by pier. chants, the claims of between 300 and 400 seamen, who had been discharged from the vessel on the scheme for running the vessel to and from New York during the Pane Exhibition turning oat a failure. The Registrar had made his report in favour of the men, and the company appealed to the court from his decision. Mr. C. P. ltutt appe trod for the Great ship Company In objection to the Registrar's report. The Solicitor-Gener a l, Mr. Vernon Lushington, Mr. R. G. Williams, and Mr. James Aspinall, appeared for the sailors. Mr. Butt contended that the report wes erroneous, and ought not to be col:thrilled, because it awarded to the sea men damage for breach of contract, and the ilculation of the damages was based on a misapprehension. Further, that the report awarded aunts of money for which the company was released ; that the report negatived the rights of the men to ten days double pay, and that the sums awarded were excessive. In March, leo7, the ship being at Liverpool, her master, Sir James Anderson.hired a crew. The men were engaged for a term, but discharged before the time, on the arrival of the ship at Liver pool. It was admitted that the men had, been wrongfully dismissed, hut it was contended that the men were bound to seek employment and could not be awarded the whole amount because they thought proper to remain idle, and to wander about the streets of Liverpool creating sympathy. mid exciting pre judice against the company, after they had proposed terms of arrangement which some of the sailors had accepted. The decision in this case (which is still proceeding) will affect about ;;.30 seamen. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Acting-Commissioner Hsi.litt.) _ summoNs BY .t LIMIT/.0 COMPANY. A trader-debtor summons hal been taken out by the Greatbridge Iron and Steel Company (Limited), of Tipton, Staffordshire, against a debtor, from whom they claimed Mr. Doria, for the debtor, took the objection that the particulars of demand ought to have the corporate se►l of the company affixed to them and be signed by two of the directors ; also, that proof should be givtia that Mr. Woodhouse, the secretary, was the duly authorised agent of the company. In support of this view he cited the ca. , of Calthrop and Greenhill, decided by the Lord Ch. atelier. . . . . Mr. Brough, in support of the summons, urged that the signature of the secretary to the particular. was enough. and that his authority was sufficiently verified. The cues cited referred to petitions for adjudication where greater strirtorss was required. His Honour said he did not think it necessary, in the case of a claim, or summons, that the particulars of de mtud should have the seal of the company. The great point was whether the claim had been sufficiently brought to the knowledge of the defendant, and he thought this had been done. It being orated that the defendant was not in attend- Mr. Brough asked that the fact might be endorsed on th sun mons, as his nonappearance would constitute an act of lt.a.kruptcy in eight days from service of the sum mons. . , r.ler acconlingly. RC TtlOllA , FITZMAURICE BURKE. The bankrupt, who was an officer in the Derbyshire mili tia. and ..on of the late General Burke, recently passed through thi. court. It appeared that he had an interest to the extent of Bet. a year under the will of his late father, but thin interest had been assigned, while the bankrupt waa in priaon, to a Mr. Benjamin Franklin, of Dublin. Mr. 'trough, who represented the assignee'', now applied for authority to issue to the court in Dublin to summon and ex 'mine Mr. Franklin. The applc►tion was granted. (Before Mr. Registrar Pepys.) IN 1.1 THOMAS RAWLINGS. The bmkrupt Wall described as a broker, of Palmerston- Inti Wing", ltroad•street. This was a prison adjudication. The hankryt, on examination before the Registrar, stated tka dealt in i:on ; his chief business had been ex porting iron to Ametic.,. His debts were about 8,0001.

This was the first sitting, and the usual formalities were gone through. POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL. CAFTUR& OF SMASHIRS. J..„ lir 'len and John Boyers, who said they had no hted residence, were placed at the bar before Alderman Lusk. M. l'., charged with passing bad money. John l'itt, cheesemonger, of No. 5, Farringdon-road, sa,d that on Monday, the 4th inst., the prisoner Rogers came to him about noon, and bought two penny • ,tth of cheese, for which he gave a shilling, Nn I received ' the change. Shortly afterwards Brown came in and had • small quantity of bacon, in proent for which he gave a shilling and left. Ile put both the shillings into the till, and when he had left, a police-constable came in to know what money the prisoners had given him. II looked in the till and found only two shillings and a ° orin there, and the two shillings were bad. Yesterday Brown came in again for two pennyworth of cheese, and hdered another bad shilling. They all appear to have been made in the sante mould. He gave Brown into cu.tody and Rogers was apprehended near the Smithfield Ft.tloll.house. The pnioners were remanded for the attendance of the Kilt solicitor. -1: PROSECUTION OF EX-GOVERNOR EYRE.

SHOCKINU aI..TREATMENT OP A ITIFS. INQI:MT.---(THIS DAY.) An inquiry was held he Mr. Humphreys, co roner, at the Duke of Cambridge Tavern, Felix-street. Hackney-road, last evening, relative to the death of Mrs. Hurint Sisney, aged 25 years. The deceased was the wife of a tradesman, who sold his business for the sum of 440/., and latterly dealt in hops. Mr. John Sisuey, 11, Minerva-street, Hackney-road, hop seller, said that the deceased was his wife. On Wednes day week she was taken in labour, and he went at 9 in the morning to Dr. Latham for his assistance. The doctor said be was going elsewhere, but would see de ceased as NOD as he could. Witness then went away, and admits that he spent nearly the whole of the day in the Two Mariners public-house, but then it was knows where be was. He was sent fur at II o'clock at night, when his wife was dying, and he went at once. He consideted that she bail sufficient food, although people said that she had not. _ _ Richard Andrew., the father of the decease.], said that four months agu she was taken away, so that he was not able to discover her whereabouts until a few days before her death. He then found her in a most destitute state. On Wednesday week he went to find the husband, and saw him in a public house, in liquor. He told him that his wife was dying, and took him to her room. The breath wasleavin . g her, but Stsney threw up his hands and cried " Oh, she is worth 20 dead ones, I will drive to the Derby before she dies." She died in five minutes. The witne.s gave some shocking detail. of the treatment of the deceased by her hughantl. Caroline Crombie, landlady of the Simeys, said that the deceased bad not sufficient to eat, and she was often in fainting state, and used to cry for want of food. Her little (laughter, who was only .i years of age, also cried from the same cause. When the deceased asked her hue band for anything, he would swear at her. She did not get meat more than once a week. Her husband, who was •ever without u.oney, used to come home nearly every morning at 2or 3 o'clock. He was not out on business. Deceased used to cry and tell witness that she need not suffer at all only for her husband's conduct, for he could earn 10s, before breakfast. There was no food for her the day the child was born. Witness and the doctor gave her some nourishment. Mrs. Andrews said that deceased had taken her hus band twice before the magistrate for his brutal ill-treat ment, but she would not prosecute him. Mr. .W. Lathan', M.R.C.S., said that the deceased died from heinorrhsge from natural causes, but the treat ment to which she had been subjected would of course depress the system and render it less able to bear up under the loss of blood. The child was bora dead. _ The jury expressed great indignation at the conduct of the husband, and at his indifference while giving evidence. The Coroner having summed up, The jury found " That the deceased died from hemorr hage in childbirth, and that the evidence taken in the Case proved that the conduct of the deceased's husband was most brutal." The Coroner severely censured Sisney, who appeared to think that he was a very Mused man. LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE (BY TLLWWLPLL ) DONCASTER MEETING-(THIS DAY.) CLUMBER STAKES.

SALISBURY MEETING.--(THIS DAY.) THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 15, 1868. DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OP LEWISHAM SAW MILLS. Early this morning a ire broke out on the pre mixs of Mr. G. Newport, a saw-mill proprietor and timber merchant, carrying on an extensive busi ness at Loam Pit Hill, Lewisham. The flames spread with great rapidity, and would not be extinguished until the mills, stores, and costly steam machinery were destroyed, and the stook in the yard damaged by fire and water. The disaster is said to have been caused by a defect in the furnace fine. THREE CHILDREN BURNT TO DEATH. An awful calamity, resulting in the death of three children, occurred at East Bergholt on Monday afternoon. On the east side of the village, and at a short distance from the Bentley-road, stood a cluster of farm buildings, in the occupation of Mr. William Green. At half-past 3 in the afternoon flames and smoke were observed to issue from these buildings by the men who were at work in the neighbouring fields. The flames quickly spread to the two cottages, and as the men were unable to obtain a sufficient supply of water they procured a number of ladders, by means of which they got on the roof and tore off the tiles ►nd rafters of the cottage which was already on fire. By these means they succeeded in saving one of the cottages, but the other was completely destroyed, and by 6 o'clock in the evening the whole pile of the buildings, with the ex ception of the cottage just mentioned, presented only a blackened heap of ruins. In the house destroyed resided a man named Henry Wright and his wife, with a family of five children, the eldest of whom was at work, the second at school, while the remaining three were playing in the shed at the time the fire broke out. It is supposed the children had accidentally set fire to some straw. The eldest of the three, named Henry, aged eight, was found in the yard lying fiat on his face, with his legs wide apart, and a bowl a few feet in front of him. From this it is conjectured that the child had gone to fetch some water from a tub standing in the yard, with which he meant to extinguish the dames, but being over powered by the dense smoke fell down, and was suffocated. Of the two other children, the body of one, Elizabeth, aged between four and five, was found just out aide the place where the shed had stood, and that of her brother, Alfred, aged two years and a half, inside ; leading to the inference that the little girl had gone to meet her brother returning with the water, but was arrested by the dames, while the youngest remained in the shed. The eldest child was frightfully scorched and his brother and sister so fearfully burnt that they could scarcely be identified.—Chelmsford Chronicle. SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 15.—The North German Lloyd'. steamer Berlin, from Baltimore on the 2nd of May, has arrived here.

His Grace the Archbishop of York occupied the chair, and after an address from Professor Plumptres distributed the prizes. THE HEALTH OF THE PRINCESA OF WALES.— The recommendation of the medical advisers of the Prin cess of Wales that her royal highness should not under take the fatiguing journey to Leeds is ' we understand, founded, not upon any apprehension as to her royal high ness's health, but to a desire to avoid long railway journeys in the present condition of the princess.—British Medical Journal. CONGREGATIONAL BOARD OP* EDUCATION. —The annual meeting was held last evening is the Congrega tional church, Lower Clepton . Mr. Samuel Morley, in presiding, said that the board was still anxious to send out religious teachers that they might bring all their powers to bear upon the youth of the country. They were not prepared to throw themselves into any scheme that any government might propose, but they had come to the conclusion that they ought to be free to watch the course of events, and to consider any means whereby they could, while maintaining their own indepen deuce, accept government aid. In respect to Homerton College, religious character would continue to be the test of a student's fitness for entering. There was no doubt that great changes were pending, and he be lieved it would be their wisdom to watch all proposals brought before the country with a view to their modifica tion and usefulness in respect to the future education of the people. The report read by the Rev. Dr. Unwin referred to an important resolution passed at a special meeting last week alteriogthe constitution of the board, and no longer making the rejection of aid fromgovernment indispensable to membership. Details were then given of the work of Homerton College during the past year. The year's income amounted to 1,485/. is. Lid., and the expen diture had been 1,483/. 18s. On the motion of Mr. C. Jupe, seconded by the Rev. Professor McAll, the report was unanimously adopted. Afterwards the Rev. T. Binney delivered a discourse upon parental education to a large congregation.

This station will be erected by the South Eastern Company, and is designed for the accommodation of the South Western travellers and the population of the Lambeth district. The station will have three platforms available for passengers desiring to proceed to Charing Cross or Cannon-street. They will be nearly 500 feet long and ample in width. The new station will be formed by an extension, widthways, of the existing viaduct arches. The South Western passengers will change trains at Waterloo for Charing Cross or Cannon•street, and will only have a comparatively short distance to walk. The introduction of the South Western trains would have caused a complication that the:existing preemie upon the Charing Cross line could not bear without danger and risk of dislocating the traffic. The new station is expected to prove a very great public convenience. Barometer corrected and reduced to 22 deg. at sea level.

The attendance of millers was small, and the demand for all descriptions ruled quiet, at Monday's quotations. There was a fair average show of foreign wheat on the stands, in which a retail business was concluded, at pre vious currencies. _ Floating cargoes of wheat were difficult to sell, and in some instances less money was accepted. In other de scriptions of produce afloat no change took place. The market was scantily supplied with barley. For fine malting parcels the trade ruled firm, but there was not much inquiry for either grinding or distilling sorts. Malt moved off slowly, at late rates. Owing to limited arrivals, the oat trade ruled firm, at full currencies. Beans were quiet, at late rates. Peas changed binds slowly, on former terms. For flour the demand was inactive at the rates current on Monday. Linseed and rapeseed were quiet, and the inquiry for most agricultural seeds was limited. Cakes were unaltered.

The stock markets are quiet to-day, with very few dealings. Notwithstanding the beauty of the weather, the dulness of the corn market, and the prospect of a further influx of gold to the Bank of England, the investments of the public are upon the most moderate scale. Consols are unaltered, but some of the railway stocks have slightly improved. Foreign bonds have receded in a few cases. Banking, financial, and miscellaneous shares present no variation. The applications for discount are upon a very moderate scale, but the rate for choice paper is still 2t. 2} per cent. Short loans are obtainable in the Stock Exchange at 1 to 1} per cent.

Mr. A. Robertson, the late manager, was elected a director, in the room of Mr. Laurie, deceased. It appears that Messrs. Bischoffsheim and Gold schmidt, the contractors, have determined to aban don the Spanish Colonial Eight per Cent.

It appear froiiyeste;day's telegrams from Vienna that the Finance Committee of the Ric&troth has actually voted in favour of imposing a tax of 25 per cent. upon the coupons of the Austrian State Debt. In other words, ►t is proposed to knock off one-fourth of the dividends. It is somewhat humiliating in this day to have to point out that such a measure involves a violation of the first principles of justice, inasmuch as it contemplates a large and unforeseen impost upon a class of per sons who have no voice whatever in its enactment, or in the disposal of the funds sought to be raised therefrom.

A letter from Cannes of the 11th describes the burial of the remains of Lord Brougham. The little church there was full. The officiating clergymen were the Rem E. F. Neville Rolfe and V. L. D. Acland. The chief mourner was William Brougham, the brother of the deceased. The hymn sung is said to have been one which was a special favourite with Lord Brougbam whilst his faculties were still unclouded ; and it was at his particular request that it ;was added by Mr. Rolfe to the Christ Church Hymn.

The total number of visitors to the National Portrait Gallery during the year 1867 was 24,649, being 17 less than the previous year. THE R ErRENENTATION OF EAST WORCESTER SHIRE. It appears that Mr. Litalett, who formerly represented the city of Worcester, has decided to offer himself as the conservative candidate for the eastern division of the county, in place of Lord Calthorpe, and in opposition to the liberal candidate, the Hon. Mr. Lyttelton. Up to yesterday it was doubtful if Mr. Laslett really meant to come forward, but late last evening we received his ad dress, which appears in our advertisement columns. By comparison of this document with the preliminary " feeler" Issued yesterday it will be seen that Mr. Laalett's views have become a little more decided in the course of the day ; but substantially the remarks in our leading columns apply to his actual as to his prospective candidature.— Birmingham Post. THE BISHOP OF HEREFORD. ReepOCtillg the appointment of Canon Atlay as Bishop of Hereford, a correspondent of the Leeds Mercury writes :—lt may be interesting to the parishioners of Leeds to know that there is one general feeling of thank fulness throughout the diocese of Hereford at the appointment of Cvnon Atlay as bishop. Divided as the diocese is between high and low church, the appoint merit of an impartial man to preside over the church is what was wanted. There is also an immense amount of church work in arrear, owing to the long absence of the late bishop from his episcopal duties. A theological college for training students for the ministry is much wanted. Canon Atlay will meet with a hearty recep tion. --- SHOCKING OCCURRENCE ON THE MIDLAND RAIL WAY AT BRADFORD.—Yeatei day afternoon, about ten minutes past 4 • sad occurrence took place on the Midland line, a short distance from the Bradford station. The 4.15 p.m. goods train from Bradford to Leeds was being made up to the east aide of the main line, had nearly completed its complement of waggons, and was in the act of being backed from one line to another, when • man was seen to oome from behind some carriages which were standing in • siding on the west side of the line, • little below Trafalgar-street. Edward Henson, who was at the points shunting the goods train, observed the man walk across the main line, and being fearful that he would be caught by the goods train, aped out to him to stand back. Instead of doing so, he was seen by Henson, who was not many yards distant, deliberatel y _ to lie across the line, and before the signal could be given to the engine driver to stop, two of the waggons passed over him. The end waggon of the Etodds train was metals,e, and as it pawed over the man's i d t left thebut the second waggon, which was , all but severed his head from his body. The unfor tunate man was speedily extricated, but life was extinct, the head adhering to the body only by a small bit of sits. —Leeds Memory. ' ing nation—a position to which, by-the-bye, well defined penalties are attached in our Stott Ex change—it is satisfactory to perceive that suitable steps are being taken to call the attention of the Austrian government to the fatal tendency of the course threatened. An address, prepared by Mr. %V. H. Bishop and Mr. S. W. Waley, both of the Stock Exchange, was yesterday presented by the former gentleman to the Austrian ambassador. The signatures include those of all the chief firma and establishments interested in Austrian securities. In receiving the memorial Count Apponyi desired that his sense of the courteous manner in which the address had been drawn up might be conveyed to the gentlemen by whom it had been signed, and he added that it would be his duty to transmit the memorial to his government, and urge its conside ration with the influence he might be able to exert.
