This was a petition to the Queen (and referred to the Judicial Committer) by Mr. Pollard, a barrister, practising at Hong Kong, who by the Chief Justice was suspended for come dacs, and fined 200 dots. (30/.), for a contempt of court. The line hail been paid, and Mr. Pollard com plained of the course adopted towards him, and wished the stigma to be minuses'. Mr. Watkin William opened the CaNAP yesterday, and continued Aix address to-day, contending that the punish ment of fine and euxpenxion was not warranted by the facts. Mr. W. M. James. tl. C., and Mr. Ayrton appeared for the Chief Justice, not to answer the allegation, but to express his regret that he had been compelled to adopt the pro ceedings he had for the contempt committed. Sir W. Erie, on the conclusion of the discussien, said their lord/lips would communicate their decision to her Ms jesty. her. 81. e asked ,1,000/. in her letter to Mr. Bingham that was handed to me. I told her it was an ex havagant demand; but if she would make • mar., rearm:able demand she should have sufficient Turkish Consolidei to maintain herself comfortably upon her giving a receipt. I said I would persuade Mr. Bingham to give me 2,000 guiutoa suet I would give bar 400 W. Conrolides. I did it because I thought it 'mild appear more. She was to prepare the re ceipt as 1 suggested to her. It was to he an acquittal of all her claims. I only recollect its subetance. I might have dictated the receipt. "Received of Risk Allah 4,000 Consolides on account" I don't think I told her to put 2,100/. or 2,200/. in the corner. (Tbereoeipt was put in by direction of the Lord Chief Justiee, and road as follows :—" Received this 4th day of Feb., 1884, of W. B. Bingham, Es q., by payment of Risk Allah Boy, the sum of 2,000 guineas, in full satisfaction of all payments from him in respect of the child of which I am now encointe, and the maintenance of the said child. Mary Wallis.") Mr. klerjeant Parry observed that Mr. Coleridge was not justi fi ed in putting the questions he had to the plain tiff. The Lord Chief Juatioe—There it is. I am very glad I called for the receipt, because it speaks for itself. Plaintiff It was given to me to keep as a secret. This is the secret 1 referred to before. I hope the woman will yet be found. Mr. Coleridge—Take the receipt in your band, Mkt Allah, and I ask you upon your solemn oath whether it was not written by Jane Lindou Plaintiff No. Mr. Coleridge—Upon your solemn oath, was it not written by her" Plaintiff--Certainly not . ' Mr. Coleridge—Aid at your dictation ? Plaintiff —No, sir. The Lord Chief Justice—Who is Lindon ? Plaintiff—He was sent by Messrs. Carlisle, attorney of Mr. Bingham's mondani, as a spy over me. Mr. Coleridge—Will you swear that she did not write that receipt ? Plaintiff.—Ves. I have no doubt others saw Mrs. Wallis on her first and second visits. Mrs. Lin don is Mrs. Justice's daughter. Headley came to me for 5001. to get him out of his scrape in Staffordshire. The Abbe Dominique was present, who was staying with me at the time. Mr. Blair who knew about it is dead. He died while I was in prison. No other person knew of the circumstance. I did not know the lady's name at the time. I heard, but lam not quite sure. I have not troubled about it because the lady is married. I have no objection to write down the name privately. I don't now recollect, but I will give it you to-morrow. There is a lady . in court who knew a lady whose servant knew of the circumstances. (Laughter.) (A letter that had been called for was produced by the attorney's clerk in the Chancery suit, and handed to his lordship.) The Lord Chief Justice—Did you not ask Mr. Bingham who Mrs. Wallis was Plaintiff—l did. The Lord Chief Justice—Did he tell you ? Plaintiff—He did. The Lord Chief Justice—Was she not somehow or other a relation or connexion of Mrs. Justice ? Plaintiff—No. (The caw was proceeding when our report left.] COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) rit RE 0. 'EATON. The bankrupt, a ridthg-master and livery-stable keeper of Montpelier-square, Bromptca, sought his discharge from debts of 2,0821., giving up no assets. At the last sitting he had been ordered to file cash and deficiency ac counts, but not having done so, it was now asked that he might be adjourned sine die. The bankrupt alleged that the case was one of great hardship on him. He had lost 2,0001. ; and he was only op posed from vindictive feelings, as the creditors knew that they could get nothing more out of him, and he had no means of supplying further accounts. He had in reality but two creditors—Lady Glands, who had lent him 1,1001., and Lord Strathmore, 2881. His Honour said that the hardship, if any, was on the creditors, and adjourned the case sine die, with protection. The bankrupt, deacribed as a baker, late of Maida-vale and Abbey-gardens, applied to pass his examination, and for an order of discharge. Debts, 1,240/. ; assets of trifl ing value. Mr. Tunstall opposed for the assignees, upon the ground that the accounts were unsatisfactory. Mr. B. Griffiths, for the bankrupt, urged that the ac counts were substantially sufficient. The assignee was an accountant (Mr. Pettis), and he had no doubt looked into the accounts very closely, as it were with ami but after all it was merely a question of figures. (. 17:r . :711 ' d have been easy for the bankrupt to have taken credit for additional less through bad flour or stale bread, but the Lath was as he had stated it, that his losses by bad debts were at the rate of 101. per month. His Honour held that the accounts were insufficient, and adjourned the sitting nine die, with limited protection. JtTlotA 1 16, 1868. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ONE O'CLOCIr. In the Stock Exchange to-day the dealings are not very numerous, attention being directed to the completion of the fortnightly settlement. With the exception, however, of the government funds, which are flat, at a reduction of 3 per cent., upon some considerable bona fide sales, most securities show thinness. Foreign bonds are in especial request. In the railway market the principal feature is a strong demand for Metro politan stock, which has been dealt in as high as 1131, in consequent* of the announcement that the company's bill has passed through com mittee in the House of Lords. Although a alight reaction has since taken place the present price is 21 per cent. better than yesterday. A moderate improvement is apparent in a few of the other lines.

The dense pro viding for conversion of the F.sLsaeaon into Ordi nary stock has been rejected by the committee, so that the two stocks will remain distinct until their amalgamation in 1870 ; and, in place of £3,700,000 of Ordinary stock, as was intended by the pro rconversion of £1,900.004 Eitension stock t e olt, there will continue to be only £1,800,000 as heretofore.

After Term Nisi Prius Sittings at Westminster.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) RIAL ♦LLAH V. WIIITHHURBT ADM OVUM This wax the thinl day of the hearing of this case, which wax an action for libel against the Daily Telegraph. Great interest prevails in the progress of the case. Mr. Serjeant Parr►, Mr. Baker Green, Mr. Butler Rigby, and Mr. B. Dunphy appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, Mr. Mon tagu Williams, and Mr. Henry James, were counsel for tho defendants. The plaintiff's examination in chief was continued — Before my arrest at Paris, in 1866, 1 had received informa tion from the Brussels bankers of Osman's forgeries. I communicated with Mows. Brugemann, and I informed them that I was ready to moist them in discovering the forger. It was not communicated to me that Orman laid committed the forgery. This was about the beginning of May. I wits arrested and put in prison, and all my papers wore seized and tiouismittesl to the Belgian authorities. My papers in. London were also seized. I was three weeks in prison' before I knew the nature of the charge. I wrote a letter of complaint to the Emperor, and I was given up to the Belgium authorities after being in prison three months. I was kept in custody there until the mid of October, when the trial commenced. I was interrogated privately in prison for three weeks, between 9 and 4 o'clock. My answers were taken down in writing. Three judges presided at the trial and there was a jury of 13, the extra man being called in the event of one of the 12 bang taken ill no as to get the verdict of 12. He did not retire with the others to con. eider the verdict, but he agreed with them in the verdict of acquittal. (The p lain tiff was then ex amined as to what transpired at the trial in Brussels, to show the omissions in the report published in the Daily Telegraph, the exaggeration of the proceedings, and other alleged inaccuracies, as well as the reiteration of the charges preferred against him.) The report was in favour of suicide, and not murder. There were, however, divided opinions upon the point expressed by the gunmakers called for the prosecution. At the end of two hours the jury came into court with a verdict in my favour. The announce ment was received enthusiastically. My hands were nearly shaken off, and on the following day a number of persons called on me and offered to pay my expenses. I am a naturalised British subject. Cross-examined by Mr. Coleridge—A bey means a colonel or a governor. The Sultan has given me a flrumnouid calla me Bey. The Bey of Tunis gave me a commission, and called me colonel ; and in my pompon I am described a colonel. I was o ff ered a governorship near St. Jean d'Acre by Ribble Pacha, Secretary of the English Embassy. I was with my wife at Constantinople there. I was introduced to Lord Palmerston and Earl Russell, and I dined with the latter at the embassy when Mehemet Puha was here. I have dined with Lord Craniworth and Sir Page Wood, and lam very well known to them. I know Mr. Moore, consul-general at Beyrout. I know his son, Lionel, attachi at Constantinople. I do not know if he is in this country. He was a child when I saw him at Bey rout. I was then at schooL My father was then dead. I do not remember my father. He died when I was a child. My brother was a merchant and money lender at Beyrout He had reverses of fortune at times. 1 was there when Sir Hugh Boer, now Lord Strathnairn, was there. I went with him as interpreter during the Syrian war. He brought a letter of introduction to me from a gentleman at .IWta. I was about 16 or 17 years of age then. I never helped to clean his boots. I was not with him as his groom. When I was wrecked with my wife we lost a very large quantity of valuable jewellery and money— about 6,t100L worth together—l don't know how much my wile claimed for the jewels alone. I can't say how much to a 1 0001. or 2,0001. It occurred nine years ago. I lost 3,000 f in the Bos ph orus. I had insured from shore to shore. I was in • boat. The motley was lost and has never been recovered that I know of. Divers were employed, but nothing had been found. I tumbled out of the boat and lost the money. I got raved. I was in company with the banker. As I was humbug the money to him another steamboat passed and agitated the water, and I fell over board. That claim is now disputed. The company told me I should have been paid if it had not been for what appeared iu the Telegraph. I hope I shall get the money soon. This occurred in April after the Brussels trial. I have sold part of my estate in Syria. It now . produces about 2001. per annum. I never read the marriage settlement, but I knew its substance. My wife was worth 180001., and not 23,001.1. When I married her she had a great many jewels, but I don't know what they were worth. 3.10111. was advanced to me from the 16,00e1. after the marriage ; 5,00 W. wan settled upon Roadie'', and the rest was at her disposal. Readley died just before coming of age, and it reverted to me. I never had any difference with my wife. It was • surprise to me when I heard it so stated. The will of 1860 was executed by my wife just before our going abroad and her dying at Cologne. Mr. Serjeant Parry—Without a will Risk Allah would have taken everything under settlement. Plaintiff—The illness of which she died commenced at Paris, and when I was at Constantinople. At the end of 1863 I became acquainted with Mr. Bingham. He was a man of large fortune, and lived as such near Can terbury. I became very intimate with him. I first met him at Malta, when he was in the navy. I was acquainted with him about three months, or lees, in this country. I was Mrs. Bingham's intimate friend also. I interfered several times to reconcile them. She was his second wife. I did not know that she was below him in station. She was an excellent wife, and her manners those of a lady. She had no children. I saw her constantly at the limns wick Hotel in London. He did not drink so much when in London. I only saw him once excited in London. I did not see him drunk there. Mr. Bingham parted with to me the New Brunswick stocks. I had some Turkish Conwili&a. I saw him several times about them and sometimes alone. I made over to him some in exchange for the New Brunswick bonds. In 1863 I purchased Como lidk in the Fkiglieh market through brokers. After his death Mr. Bingham's executors applied to me relative to the New Brunswick beads, when I informed them or any one else for the first time they had been exchanged for Cousolidia. I was applied to, and gave the particulars of the Turkish Consolides. I had separate dealing with (lan garde, partner of Abbey Brothers, and he is dead. I don't remember if the Consolides were, in the keeping of any ?mon now alive. They wore kept either by him, or in a tin box at Messrs. Herres', my bankers. I kept the key of the box; they knew nothing of its contents. I took the box to the Brunswick Hotel, but I cannot say if they wore in it. Mr. Bingham changed his bankers to Meson. Berries at this time. He was related to the Barings, and banked with them. He changed his bankers, he told me, because they would not let him draw small checks. I can't say if there is anyone alive who saw the Consolidis. One of the partners of Masers. Abbey, now in London, might have seen them before I parted with them for the New Brunswick bond,. (The bank book was pro duced, and the transactions in Consolithis media May and March, 1863.) The money value of the exchanged stock was about 1,300-32 Consolides for 16 New Brunrwicks. Ile handed me back 2,0110 of the Consolides for 1,0001. that I bad advanced to him in money. I am not aware that I said I was under a solemn oath not to reveal the transaction in Consolides. If I have said 110 it must be a =Wake. I think his wife knew it. I did not part with any of the 2,000/. returned Consolides to Mrs. Tustice or any woman to whom I owed money. Mrs. Justice did not go with my authority to Power and Davis to dispose of ConmaidM. I lent her tome money and I gave her a New Brunswick bond upon which to obtain. it. I told her to ray if she was asked where she came from she Was to as the Turkish gentleman, Mr. Shadwell's friend. I did not authorise her to um Mr. Shadwell's name —that she came from him. The remaining Consolsilis Mr. Bingham ppaarted with to Mrs. Wallin When I gave the Conaolidfs to him he put them under his pillow, as he lay in bed suffering from an injury to his foot. saw them handed to • messenger who came for them for Mrs. Wallis. At Mr. Bingham's request I went with the momenger and saw them de livered to a lady waiting ui a carnage outaida the Brunswick Hotel. I saw her once before, but I have not soon her since the transaction. The first time I saw her was at the hotel door. Mr. Bingham gave me a letter she had written to him for me to meet her and prevent her coming. I was to intercept her. I had an idea she was staying at the Norfolk Hotel, Paddington, but I don't know for certain. I have not shim found her. I was asked at his death to account for the Consohdes. The mutter is now pending. 1 cant say if I took back any thing from Mrs. Wallis to Mr. Bingham. In Chancery I produced a receipt which I fully believe the man gave to Mr. Bingham, which he handed to me. I might have raid I took it from the lady and hand s 1 it to Mr. Bingham. I had forgotten which it was. I gave the paper to my lawyer. 11r. Bingham gay.' it to me to keep, that his wife should not know it. When I was asked to explain I produced the paper. Mr. Bing ham wished ma to arrange tle dispute Istwata him and POLICE COURTS.--(THIS DAY.) SOUTHWARK. aromirAT DORSI= IN THE WATIIILOO-110411D. Henry liotteroot, alias Shiny, and George Godfrey, both returned convicts, were placed at the bar before Mr. Bur ch= for final examination, charged with stealing a watch and portion of a gold chain from the person of Henry Cooper. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that on Sunday night, the Met alt, he came up from the country by the South Eastern Railway, and hired a cab to take him, his wife, and child, to the corner of Webber-row, in the Waterloo-road. As he was slighting with his child, the prisoners came up to him, when Godfrey o ff ered to moist him. - He declined his aid, and as he was in the act of lifting the child the other prisoner snatched his watch, and tore it away from his waistcoat pocket, with a portion of the chain, and they both ran off. A little while after that be saw Godfrey and gave him into custody, and afterwards Buttevant was apprehended. Corroborative evidence was given, and previous convic tions were proved against the prisoners, who were com mitted for triaL ANNEAL SERVICE OF THE BISHOP OF LONDON'S FUND.-(THIS DAY) This morning a large congregation aseemblod in Westminster Abbey on the occasion of the anniversary service of the " Bishop of London's Fund," the interest of the gathering being no doubt somewhat enhanced by the fact that se many adverse comments have lately been made from different points of view, on the administration. of the Fund. ♦ choral service commenced at 10 o'clock. There was a special selection of music, including, at the termination of the prayers, the "Hallelujah Chorus," the rendering of which, with trumpet accompaniment, produced a grand effect, as codes and instruments reverberated through the edifice. The first lesson was, it may be remarked, read by Dean Stanley ; the second by the sub-dean, the Rev. Lord John Thynne. Both took part in the reading of the communion service. The sermon was preached by the Arehbishop of Canterbury. His grace's text was taken from the 14th chapter of Proverbs and the 34th verse, the words being, "Righteousness exalteth a nation." After tracing national decay and ruin in ancient and modern times to the want of true spiritual religion permeating the minds and moulding the conduct of the different dames of society, and illustrating his argument by a spend reference to the first French revo lution, and the social disorders which arose from the aban donment of reverence for, and recognition of, the Deity, the preacher proceeded to show the connection between the principle invoiced in the text and the institution of the Bishop of London's Fund, pronouncing in passing a high eulogiumon Dr. Taitfor his praiseworthy effort to ar rest through that medium the tide of misery and irreligion. Encouraging progress had already been made. 76 mis sion districts bad bean founded, 83 additional clergy were maintained in populous districts, and 35 scripture readers and mission women were employed ; the whole involving a cost of about 13,0001. a year. In addition to this 60,0001. had been gMen for new permanent churches, and 27,0001. for educational purposes. The total amount paidand promised was 320,0001. In eoneluding the Primate insisted on the duty of liberality to meet the evils to be grappled with ; remarking that even the Assyrians, the Arabians, the Ethiopians, the Romans, and other ancient nations always gave • tenth of spoil for religion, and adding that if the estimate were correct that the annual income of this country amounted to 800,00 W. a year, the setting apart of cos tenth, or 80,0001., would amply suttee to meet the prey ailing moral and spiritual destitution. After the sermon the offertory sentences were read, and the alms of the congregation in aid of the Bishop of Loa don's Fund were collected. The holy communion was subse quently administered ; the service altogether occupying about two hours and a half. Tlll3 ENGLISH CHURCH UNION.—A mooting of the high church party in connexion with the English Church Union is being held to-day, sad is attended by church dignitaries and laymen of all ranks from varioui parts of the country. Resolutions will be proposed in condemnation of what is called "the secularisation of the ecclesiastical revenues of Ireland, and the diversion of ncligious endowtowsb to other than religious purrues," end in furtherance of the general objects of the union, one of which seems to be to raise funds to defend the decision of the Arohes Court in the case of "Martin r.

On the motion of Mr. WA.LPOLE that the house go into committee on this bill, Mr. HEATH moved that the bill he referred back to the select committee, in order that clauses may be in netted in it giving power to the new governing body and the commissioners to be appointed by the bill to deal with the constitution and revenues of Eton and Wiachestercolleges. The hon. gentleman contended that there was no urgency for hastening the bill, and that it would not suffer from delay. He admitted that a change was required in the teaching of their public schools, but that change must be begun by the universities. Aa long as the univer sities required a knowledge of Greek and I...atin and very little else, there was little use in requiring other branches to be taught in their public schools. [Left speaking.)

At the Havre Exhibition there is an imitation of a stalactite cave, where there are placed gigantic aquaria, in which are to be seen large sea fiahen such u turbos, soles, dog-fish, &c., swimming about. Light is introduced into the cave, so that visitors can stand close to the aquaria and see the fishes without being seen by the latter. Some of the aquaria communicate with one another.

A. few days ago an express train on the South Western Railway, behind which a van was attached, had left Landon about an hour when the guard discovered the van oscillating violently. The train ran a mile and a hall before the engine driver could be oommunicated with and the train stopped. It was then found that one of the wheels of the van had broken, and that a great portion of the vas was torn away in consequence of its having been dragged along the ground at an immense speed. If the van had been ltritent of any of the passenger car riages it is probable that the latter would bane bean upset, and a great loss of life would probably hare occurred. The wheel wee quite new.

Tug C'ol'e in St7iskfiX,—Anicither week of truly magnificent summer weather bum done a vast deal to forward the crops. The wheats are everywhere not only in full ear but the "blooming" has set in. Looking to the general forwardness and character of the wheat crop, there is every reason to hope that as regards both quan tity and quality the cesium harvest will prove all that could be damned. A little rain, so moon as the blooming process is fairly completed, will do the wheats no injury, whilst it would be of great advantage to all other crops. Beans, peas, and rata are all looking wall, but they begin to show signs that they would be all the better for re trellis/ s ho wers. The peat area stand In the like cate gory.
