Mr. Jewel, Q.C., moved ex parte for leave to take out a summons in court, calling in effect upon Mr. Shepard and Mr. Holt, his solicitor, for explanation of the circum stances under which the action brought on behalf of the official liquidator of this company by Mir. Shepard against Messrs. Capper and Co., was compromised on the 3rd instant upon the terms of payment by that firm of the sum of LOIN., in satisfaction of the sums of 4.00131. and 8604, sought to be recovered in the action- The conviction of Mr. Wilkinson will be remembered, and, ao we under stood the learned counsel, the issue in the action really raised the question of the justness of that conviction. On the compromise of the action Mr. Wahiawa was liberated, uud the solicitors of the official liquidator, who were not concerned in the litigation at law, were wholly surprised at its result, They therefore communicated their dissatis faction to the solicitor, Mr. Holt, whose name was on the record at law, as solicitor for Mr. Shopord. It should be added, that the action was commenced by Mr. Shepard, with the sanction of his lordship, upon terms advantageous to the company. Mr. Jesse! added, that without raising any extrinsic question it was clear that the so-called compromise was invalid, inasmuch as it lacked the sanction of this court, and moreover it was made by counsel before the cause Kee vaned Ills Lordship directed the sUMMI111•1 to issue, urgently expreie.ittg his wish that the parties should, us mach as po,slile, he made acquainted with the objects of the liqua dator Numinous to be heard on Saturday next.

Mr. Jewel, Q.C., and Mr. Barber were for the Ik:ti t...Lem (Ikforc Vice-Climicellor Sir J. Stuart.) LORD lIILLSDOROVOU V. FITCH AND ANOTHER. This cause came on to be heard upon a motion for an injunction to restrain the defendants from suing the plain tilt-at-law upon certain bills of exchange accepted by him and from negotiating the same. As the plaintiff's case was only partially opened when the Louse was ordered to stand over, as we shall presently state, it will lie unnecessary to do more than allude to the general nature of the suit. It appeared from the allegations in the . plaintiff's bill that he, bein anxious to terminate an g acquaintance which he bad formed with a lady maned Guise, applied to the defendants, who were solicitors and money lenders, to supply him with the means of carrying out his object, and of sending her over to New Zealand. They accordingly undertook to manage the transaction for him, and the plaintiff said they had fraudulently induced him to accept bills, as security for the money required for his release from the connection, to the extent of 12,3. W., while he had only received as a consideration for the bills 3,190/. ; of which he had paid to the defen dant Barnett, who was the agent of the other defendant, 2,64:1/. 4s. did. The sum which was paid to Mrs. Guise Was 300/. ; and she was now in Now Zealand. The whole of the claim now made by the defendants (the Messrs. Fitch) on the plaintiff's acceptance was a sum of 8,8110/ As wo have said, in the course of the plaintiff's opening statement the court e xpressed an opinion that it would be better for all parties interested in the case, to change this motion for an injunction into a motion for a decree, so that the cause might be then at once disposed of upon its merits. Mr. Dickinson, Q.C.. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C. (of the com mon law bar), and Mr. Babington, appeared for the plaintiff. Mr. Swanton, Q.C., for the defendants the Messrs. Fitch, said he was instructed to deny mast emphatically on their behalf all the plaintiff's allegations of fraud; and if the motion was directed to stand over as suggested (to which he did not object) the plaintiff ought to pay something into court in the meantime. Mr. Dickinson said the plaintiff was quite willing and ready to pay all that was really due from him; and ulti mately The Vice-Chancellor ordered the motion for the injunction to be changed into a motion for a decree, and— the plaintiff consenting to pay 1,000/. into court, on or before the I3th instant, and the defendants undertaking not to go on with the action at law which they had com menced against the plaintiff, or to negotiate his bills—the motion must stand over accordingly. Mr. Hardinge Giffard, Q.C. (f the common law bar), and Mr. .1. N. Higgins, were also for the defendants the Messrs. Fitch. Mr. Kerslake Q.C.. and Mr. H. F. Bristowe were for the defendant Barnett. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) PLATOW V. JOEL, FIATOW ILITERVENINO. . . This part-heard suit, which related to the will of Mr. Louis Flatow, the well-known picture dealer, was resumed. In support of the plaintiff's case a considerable body of evidence was produced, including that of Sir William Jenner, Dr. Gardner, and other eminent physicians, to show that Mr. blatow was not only of perfect capacity at the time of the execution, but was a man singularly un likely to succumb to undue influence. On the other hand, it was contended that the widow had misrepresented to her husband the conduct of his sister, and had created an undue prejudice in his mind against her. The ease is likely to last the whole of the day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (before Mr. Commissionor Winslow.) LY HE W. P. WINDILY. This was a sitting fur the purpose of auditing the ac counts under this bankruptcy, which occurred over three yesrs since. The case will be recollected from the inquiry which took place in reference to the sanity of the bank rupt, whose eccentricities and prodigality at length compelled him to petition this court, after wasting a mag nificent fortune. The liabilities were over 20,000/., and the bankrupt died not long after obtaining his order of discharge. Messrs. Lawrence and Co. were concerned for assignees, and Mr. Chidley for creditors. 'Upon the application of the solicitor to the assignees, Hes Honour adjourned the sitting until the Bth of August in order that the accounts might be adjusted in the interim. It is stated that a dividend of lOs. in the pound will shortly be declared. POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.) OUELDIZALL.

Last night about half-past 10 o'clock he was in bed, when he heard a noise on the roof of his house. He went into the front room and saw a man there. He went downstairs and gave information to the police. There were in the room lengths of carpeting and carpets made up, but nothing had been removed. Michael Gormby, 119, said about 11 o'clock last night be went into the last witness's premises and found a window open leading on to the roof of the house.

THE RULES REsPzeniro DEFAuLTERB.—A gene ral meeting of the Jockey Club was held at the New Rooms, Newmarket, on Wednesday, the following members being present : Duke of Beaufort, Duke of Newcastle, and Admiral Roue, stewards ; Mr. Alexander, Lord Annesley, Mr. Berne, Mr. Batson, Count Batthyany, Lord Bradford, Mr. Chaplin, Mr. W. 8. Crawfurd, Lord Falmouth, Mr. G. W. Pitzwilliam, Colonel Low ther, Lord George Manners, Mr. Payne, Baron M. Rothschild, Lord St. Vincent, Mr. &vile, Prince D. Soltykoff, Lord Stamford, and Lord Westmoreland. 'I he motion of which notice bee been given in the Racing Calendar was brought forward by Mr. Chaplin, seconded by Colonel Lowther, and after some discussion and the addition of a few words to prevent the resolution having a retrospective effect, it was unanimously passed as follows :—" That the Jockey Club will not enforce the penalties imposed by their resolutions of Juno 16, 1868, for default in bets made after the passing of this resolu tion, unless the complaint shall have been lodged with the committee of the Su bsc ription Betting Rooms at Tatter sall's or at Newmarket within three months of the bets being due." The dispute in reference to the Bunters' Plate at Wor cester was, says the Sporting Ga:clle, submitted to the stewards of the Jockey Club during the week, and by them referred; back to the stewards of the Worcester Autumn meeting, as the proper tribunal to adjudicate upon it before the Jockey Club can take cognisenoe of the affair. St:maw:N.—This French "crack," who has found his way into the quotations this week for the Goodwood Cup, has again been stopped in his work, and is not likely to run at Goodwood, or at any mooting (we learn from Le Sport) this season. Tua Mooas.—The Field regrets to hear, on undoubted authority, that the disease is still rife in Morayshire and Inverness-shire, and is much aggravated by the want of water. On one moor, it is said, " more than half of the young birds are gone for want of water, none surviving but those hatched near springs or burns." Our contem porary's correspondent adds : " You may travel for miles on the high grounds and not sec a single grouse. In my opinion, there will not be more than twenty brace killed by one gun this season. Crops of all kinds are gone here. I do not know what is to be done for want of fodder." CRICKET.-177118 .D.elY.) LORD'S GROUND. ETON V. ILLP.IIOW. This morning at 11 o'clock there wore several thousand persons present to witness the commencement of play in this interesting match. Within a minute or two of 11 o'clock, the " not outs," Hay and Higgins, assumed the defensive once more, Walker and Giles were bowlers. The younger boys from both schools attended in large numbers, and their treble voices rang out lustily, and almost continuously. Only five runs were added to the score, when Boy got his leg where his bat should have been, and Wootton gave him out. The Eton "Goliath" was welcomed with a cheer on emerging from the pavi lion, and the series of drives which he forthwith perpe trated awoke the echoes of the neighbourhood. His career was short as it was brilliant, for after making 13 in four hits, a " shooter " took out his middle stump. Half an hour sufficed to bring the scores level, and then there was some excellent all-round cricket exhibited, the game becoming more and more interesting momentarily. Ottaway and Higgins batted with great care, and brought on several changes in bowling. The Harrow boys fielded well. The next ringing cheer was a dark blue one for a fine ball which carried away Higgins's leg dump. Ottaway next cut a ball into point's hands. and not long after Tritton was very neatly caught at the wicket. A shooter also settled Walter, and the next over Harris had to retire, his off stump being bowled down by Walker—both wickets down with the score at 99. Maude and Longman were together only a brief period, the latter being well thrown out by Gore from mid-off. Maude was caught and bowled by Walker.

TOE MINI, Piton 01' WIIITECH.tPEL.-•-The now famous though modest building in George-yard, White chapel, the scene of one of Lord Shaftesbury 's ragged school triumphs, was last evening devoted to a tea party, given by the indigent Blind Visiting Society to the poor blind of the East London district. The guests, both young and old, of both sexes. numbered over 200, the majority being totally blind. and at the conclusion of a substantial repast they were treated to some addresses by Mr. W. Moseley, who occupied the chair ; the Rev. Mr. Strickland, incumbent of St. Jude's, White chapel •, Judge Payne, lir. Armitage. the founder of the Whitechapel Home for the Blind, and Mr. Colmer, the secretary of the society. The speeches were sufficiently amusing and instructive, particularly that of the assistant judge, who concluded with his two thousand four hundred and first poetical effusion in behalf of the charity; but the chief attraction for the audience appeared to be the per formances of the Bed Lion-square Blind Cbocal whose singing they much applauded. The society have parcelled out the metropolis into four divisions, in each of which they provide a similar annual entertainment. They have now ti 9 cases under visitation. and last year the number visited and relieved was 265, being 25 more than in the preceding year. Thee employ Scripture readers, conductors to take the blind to church, and instructors in reading the embossed characters invented by the late Mr. J. H. Frere.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ONE O'CLOCK. The government funds are still flat and have experienced a fresh decline of e , per oent., the long continuance of drought leading to apprehensions with regard to the wheat crop. The best answer, however, to these views is the drooping tendency of the corn market— a circumstance which appears to' be lost sight of at the moment in the Stock Exchange. Foreign stocks are dull, and a further reduction is apparent in Spanish of 1867. The changes in railway shares are about evenly balanced. The Indian Five per Cent. Stock is lower. The fortnightly settlement will commence on Monday, and meanwhile there is little inclina tion on the part of the usual operators to enter into fresh transactions. The rate for choice bills in the discount market is 11 to 11 per cent., and for loans in the Stock Exchange 1. Consols are quoted 941 to ;, ox div., for money, and 94/ to 1, ex div., for the account (Aug. 6), and the Throe per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 941 to 1. With respect to railway stocks, Great Western, Midland, Great Eastern, and Brighton have risen to 1 per cent., while Caledonian, South Eastern, and Great Northern A have declined a to 1.

Yesterday, at the Warwick asaises (before Mr. Baron Bramwell), Mary Ann Shaw, otherwise Os born, aged 46, straw-bonnet maker, was indicted for causing a Übe entry to be made in the . -.l.cr of marriages of St. Andrew's Church, Birmingham. There were also counts charging her with con spiring with some person unknown that he should perso nate James Brittan, in order that they might be mar ried to each other, so that she might become possessed of the property of James Britton. The prisoner pleaded not _ _ Sei:jeant O'Brien, with Mr. Bewley, conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Cave were for the defence. The prisoner had lived as housekeeper with James Brit tan, who was a nailer at Stourbridge, and had accumulated freehold and personal property worth 3,0001. at the time of his death in October last. She resided in a cottage near, and Britten, who was of reserved habits, lived alone, and it was not until the death of Britten in October last, that any of his relatives heard anything of the alleged marriage stated to have taken place at St. Andrew's Church, Bodersley. The prisoner was undoubtedly man:ed to a man at that time and place; but the point at ism) was to whom? The evidence bearing upon it was to • great extent circum stantial. In the marriage register, Britten's name was volt Briton, his age was incorre ct, and his father was described as a nailer, whereas he was a miner, and his name was given as William, instead of Samuel. Neither the minister nor the clerk of St. Andrew's could identify either the man or woman married ; but they both saw Britten after his death, and could not recognise him. When Britten died the prisoner called upon Maher, the clerk of St. Andrew's, gave him four sovereigns, and asked him to remember some peculiarity about Britten. He replied he should not swear to him unless he knew him, and she said, " I'm a ruined woman." A Mrs. Jordan, the wife of a master builder in Birming ham, declared that she saw the prisoner and a man mar ried at St. Andrew's Church on the 21st February, 1867, and that that man was Osborn, her present husband, to whom she was married a few weeks after Britten's death. A man named Shields depo s ed that in December, 1866, the prisoner solicited him to personate Britten and marry her, but he reined. The day Britten died he met the prisoner, and remarked to her that his death was a bad job for her, when she produced a marriage certificate, and she said thud, as he refuted to personate Britten, she had got tome one else to do so, at which she laughed heartily. Richard Scott, Benjamin Scott, and John Little deposed to Britten having been at home at the time he was alleged to have been married to the prisoner. Some documentary evidence was also ad duced in confirmation of their evidence. Mr. Digby Seymour acla;;;;;clticeiy for the defence, and evidence wan adduced to chow that the priaonur had really married the veritable James Britten. The jury acquitted the prisoner. FATAL LEAP FROM 4 WINDOW. Mr. Humphrey s held an inquest last evening, at the London Ho: pi le., relative to the death under very singular circumstances, of Ellen Macnamara, a domestic servant, 26 years of age. The deceased was a domestic servant at the Sussex Anna, Poplar, and on Sunday evening she complained to her mother of having been badly treated, and said that she had got another situation. Early on Monday morning, however, as George Stewart, a watchman was going his rounds, he saw the young woman lying on the ground outside the Sussex Arms. Be thought she was a loose character, and he paned on. But when he passed that way a second time the woman said, "Don't you know me ? You don't know what I bad to put up with in this house." The window on the second floor was open, and it was evident that she bad thrown herself out of it. She was taken to the hoital. The barmaid at the Sussex Arms saw the deceased at the hospital, and the latter said that she got up during the night to leave the house and that she flung out her bundle and then got backwards out of the window until she became giddy, and she knew nothing more. The de ceased was well treated in the house, and she could have left by the door at any time. She used to be a little vacant in her look occasionally. Mr. Sheffield, house surgeon, said that deceased's back was broken by the fall from the window. The jury returned a verdict that " The deceased died from fracture of the spine, caused by her throwing herself from a window while of unsound mind." Mr. Longfellow left yesterday for the Isle of Wight, on a visit to Mr. Tennyson. Subsequently, he will proceed to Switzerland and Italy, and he is expected to return to London in May of next year. The Bishop of London will preach to-morrow morning at her Majesty's Chapel Royal, Whitehall, in aid of the funds of the Incorporated Church Building Society, Yesterday Chang, the Chinese giant, who is SI feet high, accompanied by his wife, paid a visit to Barclay and Perkins' brewery, in Southwark. The singular visitors were in full Chinese costume, and were received by Mr. Barclay, Mr. Perkins, and Mr. Bevan, the princi pals of the firm, and their ladies. A host of clerks, brewers, porters, maltsters, and draymen turned out and cheered the giant loudly. They were hospitably entertained, and their "'wit extended over some little time. _ AMATEUR eITAIIP3OMBHIP - O;THE THAMES.— The trial heat for the Wingfield Challenge Sculls was rowed Testerday afternoon from Putney to Mortlake. The competitors were Mr. Stout, of the London Rowing Club, and Mr. Mitchell, of Magdalen College, Oxford. Betting was heavily in favour of Mr. Stout ; indeed. it had been thought vary questionable whether Mr. Mitchell would start, as he was known to have had a very serious illness last year, and to have sprained his ancle about three weeks ago, from which causes he was scratched for both Henley and the Metropolitan Amateur Regattas. Feeling physically well, he determined to start, but from his want of practice it was a very hollow rare. Mr. Lawcs, as the last holder of the scullt, not competing, was the umpire and accom panied the nor in a Citizen steamer. A Loudon Rowing Club 12-tared boat, with Joseph Sadler in the bow as his pilot, went up with Mr. Stoat; a Leander eight, with Mr. Mollingworth, of Oxford University, accom panied Mr. Mitelw , l. Me. Stow had the (thole° and took the Middlesex station. Mr. E. Searle. the eminent boat builder, ma, marten At about ten minutes put 6 they were off. Stout etme away with a slight lead, hut it was what is b., mei( .• a waiting race' with both. After a few yards Ott lseame level, and when only about a furlong from the starting plaee, Mitchell fouled his right scull against ri barge. and Stout, who was at the time a quarter of a Knuth ahead, went clear of him. Mr. Mitchell exerted lianself to the utmost, but his opponent's great superiority was manifest throughout. Stout was four lengths ahead at Hammersmith, which, with a favourable wind, took ten minutes to reach. Stout gained consider ably more, and was well ahead within a few yards of home, when Mitchell rolled out of his boat and swain to the Leander. Time, 2.1 min. 23 sec. According to the rules Mr. Stout has to row against Mr. W. B. Woalgate, the holder of the sculls , on Monday.—Times. ANOTHER DEATH THROUGH CRINOLIXE.—An inquest was held before Mr. Humphreys last evening, at the London Hospital , on the body of a girl •namsd Spangenberg, aged 14 years. The girl was previously in service in Gough-street, and it appears that her clothes caught fire through being projected to the grate by a crinoline she was wearing. Death was the result of the injuries she received, and theverdict of the jury attributed the accident to the wearing of crinoline.
