Mr. Lewis, jun-, was for the prosecution ; end Mr. Sleigh appeared for Terry, and Mr. Metcalfe appeared for Burch. The eridruce given upon the last occasion, it will be re membered, was merely that contained in the information upon which the warrant was granted for the apprehension of the prison,:rs, and which went to show that in making the talance.sbeet the defendants had Introduced as assets esztaia sums to a very large amount, which it was con tended ou the part of the prosecution they were 'well aware were entirely lost to the bank and peat recovery, and so made it appear that the affairs of the bank were in a pros perous and solvent condition, they well knowing that at the time the bank had lost large sums of money, and was in a state of hopeless iuso!rency. Upon the information being read over the prisoners were remanded until yesterday, the only witness called being Mr. Kertch, %Ilk; Wall one of the committee of liquidators, sad who produced the charter and articles under which the 0001pilOy well Incorporated. , - Mr. liertch, who was called on the last occasion, said, in *sewer to Mr, Iletealte, the committee of liquidators con- , tithed five geutionen, with himself. Mr. Hopgood was out in the conieuittee. The whole of the directors and com mattes of liquidators were directing the prosecution. In answer to Mr. Lewis, he said the reaolutiuu was passed toprosecute, and three of the directors were present at the aseting—Mr. Alderman Sfechi, Mr. Deputy Bower, and ' liteirge Eyre. He thought the dirtviors refrained from • voting. The resolution was passed by show of hands, and there were Ir.• 11.10,111 shown against it.

The hooks were temporarily placed in his hands in February the present year, and permanently on the 15th March. :Snee that he bad investigated the accounts for the purpose of ascertaining the assets. He produced the minute books of the board and committee of the bank. He bedieved the two defendants were in the bank from the commencement. The handwriting of Mr. Terry appears in the books trom the commencement. The first mention of Mr. Terry an manager to the bank was made iu the minutes on the Istli of August, 15.57. On Unit date there is an eutry in his hazel sod to that effect, which was signed nor." Mr. Burch was appointed secretary on the sth of January, 1861, and there was also a minute on that date t that effect. Re produced the minute book of the 1. 0 :h of August, 1657. The minutes taken on that day were in the handwriting of Mr. Terry. A letter was contained in the minute, in which the directors were in wiled to cell a meeting of the proprietors in consequence of the 13.1 Late of toe affairs of the bank. The letter was &steel I, John-street, Bedford-row," and ad dressed to " Mr.:theist' Mechi,Goveroor of the Unity Bank," sad signed "t.;. L. Lyres," and was as follows :—" My deer sir, --niece our l as t court day 1 hare tak e n into COOSidera• ties the positiou of the Unity Bauk, and my own responsi bilities sod di.ties is connexion therewith.

He predneed the minute books of all the ruseunp and the be. lenos-sheets down to December, 1 ,, 60, and all the balances lowa to the one of December, IMO, show promisently the amouet of the peat due bills. He produced the balance @beet for December, 1857. In it there appeared an entry of se pout due bills, and there .14 a minute be theorise% that 11,0004 of that sum would probably be THE EXPRESS, recovered, and no portion of it hadbeen written off, until it could by Alireerleired what amount could he realised, al the raisin of the creditors were under investigation. Mr. Sleigh—Am I to understand that it appeared pro minently in the balance-shoat as 40,559/. past due bills not written off ? Witness said it did. Rs-examined —Besides the words " past due bills," there appeared bills discounted and loans to customers. Mr. Lewis said that up to that time the balance-sheet was correct, but it was after that date that the charge ap peared against the prisoners. Witness continued— In the balance of June, 1858, which be produced, the amount of past due bills was shown as 37,$ 701., and also showed a separate item under the bead of bills discounted and loans to cuatomers of 133,5791., and in that balance-sheet the meets, good and bad, are properly represented. In the baleame-sheet of the 31st December, 1858, the past due bills, bills discounted, sad loans to customers are treated as separate item. In the balance-sheet of 30th June the items are similarly treated, and are so down to the 30th December, 1860. The balance. sheet down to Dec. 30, 1860, was in Bnrch's handwriting, and was confirmed at a general meeting in 1861, at *tech Mr. Alderman Mechi presided. That balanorsheet showed a loss of 36,179/., which was written off the capital. At that meeting it was resolved that a sum of 5001. should be voted to the directors for their services. That 38,1791. is subtracted from the 179,1951., the amount of the paid-up capital, making it appear as 141,0151., and is all subsequent balance-sheets the paid-up capital appears as 141,015/., and the foe, of 38,0001. sever appears in any s ub sequen t bailees sheet. In the Lalauce-sheet unto December, 1861 , the pre liminary expenses were put down en 32,6481, and wore en tered in the general ledger, which he produced, as preliminary expenses, which appeared to be partly composed of items paid for salaries after the op e ni ng o f the bank, amounting to 1,0831. The last date of salary paid included in that amount was March 14, 1837. There were other items eon sistuig of eateries amounting to 7,1371. The bank opened on the 6th May, 1656, and the amount paid up to that time was 2,6321., and could be fairly entered as preliminary expenses. A total of 4,316/. was passed to the preliminary expenses, which included the 1,063/. for salaries. The transfer of these sums to the preliminary expenses would teed to show a large profit. There wee an item under the head of sta tionery of 3,342/. entered in the column heeded " current expenses," which was charged, after deducting 6001. for the preliminary expenses, and brought oat in a balance in the column under the head of " preliminary expenses." The amount for stationery up to the opening of the bank appeared to be 9971., and the amount of 2,363'., which was spent for stationery altar the opening of the bank, was charged in the preliminary expenses. The entries were all iu Terry's writing. The last item was in April, 1857. There also appeared in the ledger the rent account, amounting to 2,3651. for rent paid after the opening of the bank, the Mat item being on the 30th of April, 1657, and which was also charged to the pre liminary expenses. There was an entry of 2,200/. entered as loss on branches, which was also passed to the prelimin ary expenses ; soda auto of 1,8701. as commission on the sale of shares, and 648/. for a dinner at the opening of the bank, were also charged to the preliminary expenses. Mr. Lewis—The dinner was opened with prayers. (A laugh.) Mr. Metcalfe—There was nothing unusual in that. Mr. Sleigh—lt is a custom in this country, and I hope there sever will be a dinner without prayer. Witness continued—There is a payment of 6,0001. to Mr. Baylis, who was the managing director of the bank, and re ceiveda salary of 13100/. a year, and there are three entries on the books of 1,6601, each, paid to him subsequent to the 6,000/., and the w hole of that 9,1A101. is charged in the pre btu wary excesses. By Mr. Sleigh—There was nothing to show whether Mr. Terry was only a clerk or not et the time these entries were made. xamination continued—The entries with respect to Mr. Bat ha were also in Mr. Terry's handwritiug. The three pay ments of 1.009/. each were made in 1857, 8, and 9. There were other sums amounting to 5141., and also directors' fees, amounting to 1971., charged in the preliminary es penses.Tbe balauce-sheet of June. 1862, appeared in the minute book Hider the date of lOth Sept., 1e42, and was confirmed oil the 3rd Oct., 1861, awl at that meeting the shareholders were called upon to authorise the transfer of the business of the Unity Bank to • new company then io course of for tuation, to be called the London and Middlesex, which wan agreed to by the shareholders, and confirmed at a subsequent meeting, held for the purpose on the same day.

Olivier's bills, in pencil, the word "forgery," in the prisoner Terry's writing. There was nothing to show at what date the word which was in posed was written. On the heck of one of the bills in Terry's handwritiog is written, " The drat instalment of 2w in the pound paid 11th May, '61." There was no entry of I the dividend in the past due bill-book, but Oliviet'a debt was in the year 1862 carried as 4191. with the item of 297,000/. as bills discounted and loans to customers. In the committee minute book there wan under date of 19th February.

Messrs. Cowell and Burk were customers of the bank, and in 1869 they were indebted to the bank in the sum of 3,645/. In 1860, 2,0411. wee written oil as loot, which left a balance of 1,6031.

At this stage Mr. Lewis proposed to adjourn the case, . remarking that there were a number of si m il ar accoun t s to ! go through, and in that way be would show that 100,009/. bad assets had been treated as good. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Metcalfe addressed his lordship with a view to induce him to admit the prisoners to bail, but his • lordship declined to take upon bit:melt the responsibility, and the prisoners were again remanded. THE NEW CONPEDERATE CIICISER.—SeTeraI days ago it was announced that a steamer named the Laurel left Liverpool for Madeira, &c., under circumstances of such a su►picious nature as to cause inquiry. It was ulti mately ascertained that Captain Semmes and about 100 men were on board ; but this statement was denied by 51r. Lamle, of LiverpooL He wrote d letter to the effect that the Laurel did out take out Captain Semmes, that the number of her erew was not more than that required for a 'creel of the Laurel's sine, and that she carried out • few parseogers, seamen, to replace those who had died of fever at Bermuda and Nassau, on board steamer. en gaged in the blockading business. By the arrival at Liver joul yesterday of the African mail steamer Calabar we are ppl►ced in possession of facts which clash with Mr. L►fone's statement. The Laurel has bees at Madeira, and so has a large strew steamer named the Sea King, which received a crew on board from the LaureL Thirty-aia of the men, however, refused to join the Sea King and came home in the Celaiar.

SATUADAY EVENING, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Nov. 11. Sittings in Its000.—(Bs(ors Lord Chid Jostles Cockburn, sod Justices Crompton, Mellor, and Men) GLIDOTANES AND OTHERS V. THE CORPORATION OF TIER ROYAL EXCH•NUI This wu a special 011•11, —. which lasted the greater part of the day, and raised a question of some importance to marine insurance companies. The plaintiffs were the London agents of the Hoag Kong Insurance Company, who were in the habit of insuring cargoes which were to be shipped from India to Englead, before the amount of the cargo was really known, or even the name of the ship; but they never affected policies of that kind above the amount of 5,0001. Between them and the defendants there was an agreement that the latter would undertake the risk of any exam should the former effect any policies for larger amounts: In the present iatann the plaintiffs bad effected a policy upon certain goods which were to la shipped from Calcutta to England, and the defeodants ui.,o_rtook the rink of the guess, the policy being for the sum of 7,0001. Previous to the date of the policy, viz. the 16th of March, 1859. the only musses that ever pseud through the Red Sea cable arrived in London to the effect that the Red Gauotlett had been burned and scuttled, and that part of her cargo would perish. It wu admitted on all sides that both parties knew of the loos of the easel previously to the making of the policy ; bat neither of them knew that the insured cargo was in her. The de fudanta, however, refused to pay the risk above the sum of 5,0004, viz. 2.0001., on the ground that the plaintiffs knew the Ices of the vessel previous to the policy being effected on the cargo. Mr. Lush, Q.C.. sod Mr. Barmen were counsel for the plaintiffs; Mr. Barak Q.C., and Mr. Watkyn Willis= for the defendants. Mr. Lush, os the pert of the plaiatiffs, contended that the defendant, were liable to be charged with the excess. It was true that the plaintiffs knew of the lose of the vessel upon the 16th of March, 185% which was previous to the date of the policy ; but their practice was to insure. in, sbefo re wasit was re what vessel they were to be whomeed n, sod that the defendants knew perfectly well. At the time of the making of the policy the plaintiffs had hot the slightest knowledge of the contents of the Red Gauntlet, sad therefore the iesitrahce was a perfectly good ow, hod ow by which the defendants ought to be bawd. Mr. Bovill, on the sort of the defendants, contended that, inasmuch as the policy was made after the knowledge of the loss of the vowel, it was a bad one, and one upon which the assured could hot mover. The Court were of opinion that the policy wu a good one, and gave judgment for the plaintiffs. Judgmoot for the plaiatiffe accordingly. COURT OF PRORATE AND DIVORCE. Nov. 11.

Q.C.. and Mr. C. Pollock for the pe titioner ; Mr. Field, and Dr. Spiel's for the re spoodent. Captain Richard Lewis Modyn Williams Bulkeley sued for a divorce on account of his wife's adultery with Lieut.• Colonel Henry Armitage, of the Coldstream Guards. The marriage of the parties took place in 1857, the petitioner being • son of Sir Rickard Bulkeley, and the re spondent, Mary Emily Baring, a daughter of Sir Henry Bingham Baring, M.P. He ru 32 years of age, and she 26. so that there was no disparity of any kind between them. They cohabited at Hertford-street, Mayfair, at Windsor, and other places ; and at the time of the separa tion they were residing at a cottage on ase estate of Sir R. Bulkeley, called Bryn. Captain Buford said—l was formerly in the Horse Guards Blue. I am acquainted with the parties. I was present at their marriage, which took place at the chapel of the British embassy, in Paris, on the lath of May, 1857. Jane Snowdon—lain now cook in the service of Mr.Greso, of Hattbfield-hove, near Petersfield. I was in that of the petitioner in 1862. I know Colonel Armitafte. He used to come with Mrs. Armitage to the petitioners. In August, 1862, I left town to go with the family to Bryn. Soon afterwards Colonel and Mrs. Armitage came in their yacht. They generally bad their meals at my master's, but they slept on board. After they bad been in the neighbour hood for some time, Mrs. Armitage left in con sequence of the illness of a relative. I recollect Colonel Baring, the brother, of the respondent, shortly afterwards comieg to Bryn. Colonel Armitage sable quently can.° to stay in the house altogether. Oa the 23rd of September there was a party at Baron Hill I (Sir R. Bulkeley's), on the occasion of sir Richard's birth day. All the party at Bryn went to dine at the house. At midnight my master left to go to the Duke of Beanfort's ; but C olo Baring, the respondent and co-respondent returned to Bryn. 1 had been up at the house and did not get back till after the party hat reached Bryn. As I was going up stairs Mrs. Bulkeley spoke to me at her room door. For certain reasons I resolved to watch her that night. Colonel Armitage slept io a room adjoining my mistress's, there being only a small passage between, the two apamienta. At 'X minutes to two I saw Colonel Armitage leave his room and go into the respon dent's, He returned to his own room at about four. The next five or six nights I also watched, and I saw the same thing occur again. The last two or three times the lady's maid Fratiklin was with me. Oa the sth night the nursemaid also watched. By the Judge Ordinary—The butler had asked me to watch, and I bad been previously told something about my mistress. _ _ The nurse corroborated the evidence of this witness and stated that the taut time the respondents were watched Wall on a Sunday. Witness afterwards told Lady Rulkeley, who had an interview with the respondent on the following Wednesday.

The bankrupt was as envelope manufacturer of Oahliuse, Wood-street. The liabilities are considerable upwards, of 14,0001. ; a dividend of 2e. in the pound hair been paid. This was the sitting for order of discharge. Mr. LIIIIVIII6OII opposed fur the assignees. The bankrupt had dealt aztenaively is accommodation bills, the amount being upwards of 13,0001. in the twelve months preceding the bankruptcy. He bad iuduced young men and lade in his employ to accept bills for him, and bad paid some of them 2s. tied. for accepting each bill. Bills of this character to the amount of 1,1516. bad been accepted by a travelling hawker. A boy of 15 bad accepted for 150/. or 200/., and others of his *tryouts for like amounts. When the bills became due he met them by manufacturieg others of the like character. The bills bad been discounted by the Imperial and other banks, on th e represeetatiors that they were good trade hula ; and the baukrupt admitted that he bad carried on this system for two years and a half. At the close, being refused discount in two quarters, the bankrupt admitted that that threw him over completely, and his stoppage soon followed. He had pledged goods worth 5001. or 61101. with 31r. Harrison, a pawnbroker, some of them only • few days before the bankruptcy.

Upon them facts. which appeared is evidence, Mr. Lowrance milted for an order to prosecute the bankrupt. _ _ Mr. ti E. Lewin, for the bankrupt, mild be would abstain from discussing the farts. otherwise it would be tantamount to tryiog the bankrupt trios.
