LENPaltikE Lunrautau AND NODEL.—SISNTY.NON. In Ilkni case a wile had been found guilty of adultery, and her husband of cruelty. It was, however, contended et the bar that the latter ought to be allowed to amend his petition, and oak for judicial separation, in which case by the pincher of the ecclesiastical courts transferred to this tribunal, the respondent could not plead cruelty by way of answer. Sir J. Wilde. however, utterly refused to afford any as sistance to the petitioner, whose misconduct he believed had driven the wife into cohabitation with another man. He di•miNsod the petition, and allowed the wife the cods to which aloe had been put in proving her husbainl's cruelty. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commizsioner Winslow.) • IN UN C. If. ROW. The bankrupt, describod as a clerk, residing in Surrey_ sheet, Strand, applied for his order of discharge from debts of 1,008/. Mr. R. Jones, for the assignees, did not oppose, but asked that the bankrupt should he ordered to sot aside something out of his salary towards paymout of his debts. The bankrupt examined stated that he WAS in the re ceipt of a salary of 310/. a year; he also earned about I'lol. a year as a writer fur the periodical press, but ho was in such delicate health that his medical man had forbidden him to exercise his literary talents further. The Commissioner—What does he propose to set aside? Mr. Reed, on his behalf, offered 501. a year. Mr. Jones—He has a wife but no family. A solicitor, who opposed on behalf of Mr. Thom, a creditor on a bill, asked that 1501. should be set aside, and said that the bankrupt's wife had had an income of 701. a year. The Commissioner—l decline to make any such order. Ultimately the case went off on an application for additional accounts. IN NE JOHN RAISE, ---- --- This was another case of a clerk in Somerset-house, re siding at Hayes, in , Middlesex. His salary was stated to be 370/. a year, and the usual application was made. his Honour—l don't understand why a man in a govern ment office should be compelled to set aside a portion of his salary, while in another employment ho was not so. A solicitor, who opposed, said he presumed it was be cause those situations were more certain than others. --- His Honour said that was not at all the case, for the clerks in the Bank of England had ; just the same certainty. An offer on the part of the bankrupt to set aside 701. a year was accepted, and the order of discharge was grunted. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) I az MARTIN LUTHER COXIIING. The bankrupt was described as formerly of Oriel Col lege, Oxford, since of High-street, Oxford, then of Montagu-place, Russell-square, since of the Palace Hotel, Buckingham-gate, and other places—of no occupa tion. This was an adjourned sitting for examination and discharge. The debts are 6861., chiefly due in small sums to Oxford tradespeople. The largest creditor is Mr. John Neal, jeweller, of Edgware-road, whose claim is for 631. Mr. Aldridge, who appeared for the official assignee, stated that the last sitting had been adjourned for addi tional accounts, which had since been rendered. Mr. Chappel, from the establishment of Mr. Neal, opposed. Bankrupt examined, said he had had a ring and some small articles from Mr. Neal. The ring, which had cost 26f., had been pledged. He bad then no income except what his friends allowed him. His father knew that he bad the ring. Could not say whether he knew of his in tention to buy it. His father allowed him 2001. a year. Mr. Aldridge submitted that he was not in a position to justify the purchase of expensive jewellery. His Honour said he did not appear to have committed any offence tinder the act, and granted the order of dis charge. DI HZ W. H. PALMER, OTHERWISE ROBERT HELLER. The bankrupt is described as preetidigitateur, formerly of Washington (U.S.), teacher of music, then travelling in various its of America, Mexico China, and Japan, and since of the Langham Hotel , Portland-place , and of the Polygraphic Hall, King William-street ; Strand. He ascribes his failure to having been sued by Messrs. Riggs and Co., of Washington, who are creditors for 62&. The debts amount to 3,103/., of which about 7501. is due in London, the remainder being owing to various creditors in New York, Washington, and else where. This was an adjourned sitting for examination and dis charge. At the last sitting it appeared that the accounts had not been filed in time. The bankrupt now passed, and received his order. _ _ (Before Mr. Registrar Brougham.) IN NZ N. G. SWAN. The bankrupt, Edward Gibbon Swan, of Milman'a-row, Chelsea, was described as of no occupation, but it appeared be bad been a director of the English Joint-stock Bank (Limited), and of other limited companies. The liabilities aru upwards of 15,0006, of which 12,980!. is due to the liquidators of the Oriental Commercial Bank (Limited). 1,6251. to Hodges' Distillery Company (Limited), and 6006 to the liquidators of the English Joint-Stock Bank. These claims are disputed by the bankrupt, and are stated to be the subject of appeal. This was the firet sitting. The question being raised as to whether the debts, which were the subject of appeal, could be proved, the choice was ordered to stand over for a few days. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before the tunistant-Judge.) THE CASE OF JANE WYLD AND THE EFOCEBROYEA AGAIN. Jane Wyld, who had been remanded from session to session forhuvingassaulted a Mr. Aston, a stockbroker, in the City, was brought up and placed in the dock his morning to receive the judgment of the court. Mr. W. J. Payne appeared for the prosecutor, Mr. Aston ; and Mr. F. H. Lewis represented the prisoner. It may be recollected that this case stood over from the last session, in order that the chaplain of the prison might have an opyppoortunitylcf seeing whether he could got the prisoner admission into some female reformatory insti tution._ . . . . iir7 F. H. Lewis said that since the last session the chaplain bad made inquiries and had written to state that he bad succeeded in procuring admission for the prisoner in the Elisabeth Fry refuge, but that there was a difficulty attached, for to stay there was quite voluntary, and that the prisoner might at any time leave the institution, but that she had pledged herself to him (Mr. Lewis) that if the court would sanction such a proceeding she would remain in the institution. Mr. W. J. Payne, for the prosecution, said that all the prosecutor wanted was protection, and that of course he should wish that the prisoner should enter into some form of recognisances. . . . The Assistant-Judge, in very kind word., admonished the prisoner, and told her that he had trusted her once before, and she had broken her word. Ho would, how ever, give her one more chance, and would consent to her entering the Elizabeth Pry Institution, which he thought would be the best thing for her interest. She would, therefore, enter into her own recognisances to come up for judgment in the event of her leaving the institution. He explained to her at the same time that possibly there might be some means devised in the insti tution of sending her abroad. Thus this unhappy case, which has been before the court for me, long a period, was brought, apparently, to a satisfactory termination. The prisoner was then taken to the clerk of the Peace's office, where she entered into ker recognizance', and was taken away. (Before Mr. Payne, Deputy-Aanstant Judge.) EXTENSIVE inazEznianmr zrY • roauricas' soorzres BISCRETARY. Allen Cornwell, aged 43, described as a letter-carrier, secretary to Court 1,580 of the Foresters' Society for 15 years past, was placed in the dock indicted for ember If the several sums of Be. 4d., Be. 9d., and and several other moneys received by him forand on account of Robert James and others, the trustees of the Ancient Order of Foresters' Friendly Society, his masters, There were seve ral indictments against the prisoner. The case created some interest, and there were many members of the society present. Mr. Metcalfe was instructed to prosecute. Mr. Robert James, of the Rochester Castle, High-street, Stoke Newington, one of the trustees, and treasurer to Court 1,680 of the Foresters' Society, was examined. He said the prisoner had for 15 years enjoyed the confidence of the members of the court in the capacity of secretary. Part of his duty was to receive all moneys paid by members on meeting nights, enter the mine iu a book provided by the society, and on the curd held by each member who pays, and at the end of the meeting to pay over all the mone he received to witness. According to Mears. Goddard and Thompson, and other members cards, he had received the several sums named in the indictment, and in receipt had signed his initials, but had not entered them in the book, as he ought to have done. Dv the Court—There are about 119 cases discovered in the last fifteen months the affairs have been searched into. The amounts he had received was about 60/. as yet discovered; but it was believed to have extended over a long period, and, of course, amounted to much more. For the last three or four years the prisoner bad rid limed no balance-sheet. He gave no security. Mr. Willinm Laurence Comme, of 99, King-street, Hammersmith cli.triet, sub-chief ranger, and auditor of the society, said he had audited the accounts, which hal been earned on in a disgraceful way. He found, in the leaves, that a book had been lost, and ia another abstracted, and instead of the court having 800/. in its reserve fund, it only had 2001. By the Friendly Society's EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENNO, JULY 14, 1868. Act, they could nut get security from any one but the treasurer. There loci-es would fall heavily upon the mem bers who had subscribed them. Unfortunately the so ciety had suffered much by the embezzlement of their se creterice. The prisoner received 16[. a year. The prisoner pleaded guilty. The Court inquired what the prisoner had to say in gn awer to the charge. The prisoner said he was very sorry for what he had done, and if the Almighty would give him assistance he would endeavour to be a better man. He had six children, and circumstances got over him. Mr. Payne, in pluming sentence, said this was a vary serious case. Under all the circ umstances the sentence was 18 months' imprisonment with hard labour, which ho hoped would doter others from committing such a bad offence. POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE.

ANSTRUTHER wished to mit the Secretary of State for War, " whether Me travelling allowance of offi cers invalided home from Alsyminia had beers disallowed; and, if so, for what reason." Sir J. PAKINGTON regretted the terms iawhich the question was put, as they midst lead people to.believet first, that Abyssinian officers coming home invalided did F o entiiely at their own cost, and next that officers in the Abyssinian expedition had been treated differently from officers employed in other parts of the world. The expense actually thrown on officers under such cir cumstances as were referred to was of comparatively man amount, and a new rule would shortly be issued by the Vier office the object of which would be that invalided officers would come home free of cost to themselves.

THEMA/10E AGAINST A BOLDINN DELONOLNG TO TRN ADM- ORMAN MINT. Tl:omas Niblet, a private in the 33rd Regiment, was brought up on remand before Mr. Alderman Gibbons on the c ha rge of assaulting a little girl, name and address unknown. It will be remembered that the prisoner was appre hended by Twose, a City constable, and that the girl ac companied them to the station; but while he was being placed in tho dock the girl run away. In reply to the Lord Mayor, before whom the charge was heard on Saturday, the prisoner stated that he had obtained furlough for a month, his regiment having just arrived at Portsmouth from Abyssinia. Ire also stated that he hat had an order for 51. in his possession, which he had given ton gentleman to take care of for him, and that the gen thman had given him his address on a slip of paper. Mr. Dutton, whose name was mentioned on the slip of paper, was now in attendance, and stated that ho had hail some conversation with the prisoner, thinking he might be able to give him some information in reference to a relation of his in Abyssinia, but the prisoner did not say anything about an order for money. The prisoner said it was another gentleman to whom he gave the order. It was a poet-office order, payable at Bir mingham, but he had not signed it. Mr. Alderman Gibbons said as no one appeared against him the charge was at an end, and he advised bras to return to Portsmouth, and tell the postmaster he had lost the order, so that steps might be taken to stop payment. As he had no money or friends an officer would accompany him to the station and pay his fare to Portsmouth. Prisoner said he had a free pima to Birmingham. The Alderman said in that case he might go there, and be might be able to recover the money, or stop pay ment of the order. The prisoner was then discharged. SOUTHWARK. RAILWAY =MEL - - - Thomas Brown, 19, and Charles Bwainsbary, 16, were placed at the bar before Mr. Burcham, charged with pick ing pockets on the platform of the London-bridge 'Ter minus of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Mary Bolles, that on the afternoon of Monday, the 6th inst., she was on the platform of the railway waiting for a train to take her to Forest-hill. At that time she bad her purse and some silver in her pocket, having just deposited it there after paying her fare. The younger prisoner came up to her and asked her if there was a train to Hammersmith. She turned round to him with some surprise when the other prisoner came up and they both walked away. From information she received she put her hand in her pocket and missed her purse and contents. The evidence of the e oolice having been given, Mr e . taw L ui u l bi r as to their avocation, fre quenting railway stations for the purpose of plunder. lie sentenced Brown to six months' and Swainsbilry to three months' hard labour. NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. (THIS DAT) AR most of the volunteers intending to take part in the present meeting of the association have now arrived, nearly the whole of the tents on the ground last night were occupied, some of them, indeed, being over crowded. The good effects of the new order with regard to the prohibition of noisy amusements have, however, already been felt, and the men are enabled to obtain sufficient rest after the fatigues of the day. This morning again broke fine, with a minimum thermometer at 63, and a light breeze from E.N.E. At an early hour an itinerant barber, fully armed with the implements of his trade, and a pot of hot water in hand, made rapid visits to the different huts, shouting out, " Does anyone want the barber f" and he appeared to be doing a profitable and thriving trade. Beyond the ordinary appliances, however, of the camp, there is a complete street of shops for the sale of almost everything the volunteers may require. The programme of to-day's proceedings embraces a conti nuation of the competition for the Alexandra, the Duke of Cambridge's, Enfield Association Cup, Carton Targets, and Sweepstake Prizes, but several new competitions were commenced. First in importance stands the Prince of Wales's Prize, which consists of a cup of the value of 1001. the gift of the Prince of Wales, or 1001. in money, at the option of the winner, with 1001. added by the National Rifle Association, and divided into 20 prizes, restricted t , volunteers being winners of silver or bronze medals given by the National Rifle Association, and won since the last Wimbledon meeting. Five shots each at 200, 600, and 600 yards. The number who are eligible to compete for this prize, although very limited in number, are those who have distinguished themselves above their fellows in their own county asso ciations, and, therefore, this competition is always one of great interest, especially as the one who snakes the highest score receives the Prince of Wales's prize of 100/. There are forty-five competitors for this prize. The contest for the St. George's Challenge Vase also commenced this morning, presented for the seventh time for competition to the volunteer battalions of Great Britain by Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. C. H. Lindsay. M.P., on behalf of the members of the St. George's Rifles, open to all corps and companies of battalions and corps, and also to companies of independent corps which are attached to battalions. Two representatives eligible from each company of a battalion or corps, or company of every independent corps so attached. The total aggregate value of the prizes is 6084 Seven shots each at 600 yards. For these prizes there were about 1.350 entries. At the time this report was written a Lan cashire volunteer had made 28 points, but the shooting for this prize will continue the entire day. The Daily Telegraph prize competition also commenced to-day, being a cup of the value of 621. 10a, given an nually by the editor of the Daily Telegraph. Five shots each at 600 yards. This competition will last the whole of to-day and to-morrow. For the Prince of Wales's prize, the following made 17 points each :—Sergeant Rokey, 7th Cumberland ; Sergeant Cass, 3rd West Yorkshire; Quartermaster Larmer, 6th Surrey; Sergeant Wyatt, 13th Salop; and Sergeant Lowe, Bth Lincolnshire. The pool shooting was going on, and some very high scores were made. With respect to the Prince of Wales's Prize, considera ble difficulty was felt in squadding the men on account of no proper returns having been furnished by the secre taries of the county rite associations, and Captain Costin, the executive officer, has been obliged to admit several men to shoot on the production of their bronze medals, that being the only qualification that could be produced. One of the competitors comes from Bombay and another from the Cape of Good Hope. Monster Orange demonstrations took place yes terday at Lurgen, Lisburn, Carrickfergus, Newtownards, and many other places. The Party Processions Act was openly violated. A report has just reached this that rioting has been commenced in Monaghan and Heady. All perfectly quiet in Belfast. THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT SANDHl:Mgr.—Yester day an inquest was held at the King's Arms Hotel, Sandhurst, before the deputy coroner for Surrey, on the bodies of Major Francis Richard Taylor (instructor of surveying) and his infant daughter, who were drowned while boating on the lake near the College, on Fri day evening. From the evidence of the nurse (Eliza beth Ann Seth) and a gentleman cadet (Mr. Edward Wilson Conran), both of whom were in the boat with the deceased, it appeared that Major Taylor, accompanied by those above named and three more of his children, went for a row on the lake about o o'clock on the afternoon in question. After they bad been out some time the children complained of feeling thirsty, and the major pulled to the shore and sent the nurse for some drink. She returned with some ginger beer, which the children drank. The de ceased (Evelyn) still feeling thirsty, leant over the side of the boat and tried to get some water in her hands. Whilst so engaged she overbalanced herself and fell into the water. The Major Peeing her danger sprang in after her and succeeded in reaching and bringing her to the surface, but before assistance could arrive he sank and was seen nomore. The dregs were sent for, and about an hour and a half afterwards the body of the Major was recovered. Every means were used to resuscitate him, but without effect. It was not till some considerable time afterwards that the body of the child was recovered. The delay was partially caused through the authorities having to send a distance of eight miles (to Aldershot) for drags, there being none on the premises. The jury returned a verdict of " Acci dentally_drowned," and desired the coroner to represent to the War-office the necessity of drags being kept at the college.

Humphrey and July, the "not outs," proceeded to the wickets, and the bowling wee .undertaken by J. C. Shaw and Wootton. The wore was advanced to 62 by steady play, when Alf. Shaw went on bowling at Wootton's end, and with the last ball of second over (a breakback) he destroyed Jupp's wicket, a ft er the latter had played another careful innings of 23. Two oven later Pooley was given ont " leg before," and Stephenson joined - Humphrey. Tin= o'Cr-oer. The play was tame and spiritless for some time, so, with the score at 76, a change of bowling took place, ll'lntyre relieving J. C. Sbaw, but as no separation was effected, Mr. Truewell introduced the slows to Humphrey and Stephenson. After bowling four overs, the latter drove one very hotly back to the bowler, which he failed fully to grasp, but which carried away his little finger nail, necessitating his retirement from the field. The ball glanced into the bands of short slip, and Stephenson bad to retire. Not long atter, Mort lock got a crack on the finger, which caused him tempo rarily to leave his wicket, Griffith filling the vacancy. The latter made but a single, when his free hitting got him into difficulties, as he was caught at deep mid-off. Bristow made another 0, being given out "leg before." Wootton nest got at Southerton's leg-stump, and then Mattock resumed his innings—both Humphrey and himself con tinuing to bat in their best form. The Notts fielding was also first-class.
