TVs Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing and working two valuable freehold mineral properties, known as the Wheal Fortune and Wheal Virgin Mines, situated 30 miles from the shipping port of Oeraldtun, in the Champion Bay district of Western Australia. The property comprises 030 acres of freehold land with the minere, and was obtained direct from the crown in the year 1859, by local adventurer', who subscribed • limited capital, which we. expended In the purchase of the land and the necessary mining plant, leaving a balance of only C3OO to com mence operations. Three shafts are already sunk to the venom- Jive depths of 8, 11, and 21 fathoms, and several distinct copper lodes and lead-bearing crosscouraes discovered. From one or two of the former 940 tons of copper ore have been raised and transmitted to this country, and sold at Swansea, by public ticketing',between February 11, 1900, and June 10, 1062, the per centage of which for pure copper averaged 24, and realised the sum of £18,609 Oa. 9d., as is evidenced by the following transcript of the ticket sales thereof. In additiou to which, about 160 tons of rich lead ore have been obtained from a cross cousin, and sold for £837. A further parcel of 100 tons of copper ore is advised at the port, ready for shipment. Altogether the clear profit during the two years was L 3,809 on the Initial work ing capital of 1300, exclusive of the purchaxe as aforesaid. The operations at the mines are continued, and the yield of ore in creases as the works progress, so that proportionate receipts may be anticipated. The copper me was consigned to Messrs. Wm.

LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 10. Tim plea of " insanity" in criminal cases is par ticularly liable to abuse, and has sometimes been abused, to the defeat of justice and the danger of society. Between the degree of excitement in the perpetrator which any act of violence, sudden or premeditated, suggests, and the degree of excite ment which indicates brain disease, the line is neither broad nor clear, and it is to be feared that some guilty lives have been spared and some inno cent lives sacrificed on this debateable ground of law and physic. No cases demand a nicer discre tion, a more searching scrutiny, or a steadier ba• lance on the part of a jury. According to a trite and true saying, no act of violence is an act of sanity, and the more cool and calculated the crime, the less compatible should it seem with rational responsibility. Yet to argue from the as sumption that all human beings are in some corner of their brains unsound, or, under some conditions of the mental organ, incapable of self-control, and nothing better than wild beasts at large, to the remission of wholesale murders in cold blood, and of inexplicable attempts at assassi nation, would be to sustain the monstrous doctrine that the greater the crime the less the criminal. Such is the obvious risk to be guarded against when insanity is pleaded as an apology for crimes irreconcilable with the ordinary motives of hatred, cupidity, or revenge. Of late, however, "in "sanity" has not been the defence moat likely to mislead a jury in a case of murder. A salutary reaction against acquittals on so loose and mysti fying a plea set in a few years since, and the spectacle of contradictory medical evidence, swearing and oounterswearing with the versatility of horse doctors, may have contributed not a little to the disgust which intelligent juries feel when they are invited to decide between opposing views of a murderer's st►te of mind. Another and stronger objection to the plea of insanity is the mysterious contagion of a certain clam of crimes, and the horrible plague of imitators which an un natural murder is apt to create. The heartbreaking home-tragedy on Ludgate „„., • _ me 01 before the Central Criminal Court yesterday, awl resulted is a verdict finding the prisoner " Not guilty," has sug gested these remarks, but as a striking and signal exception to their purport. No one, we are persuaded, who considers attentively the pro ceedings in this most distressing trial will hesitate to accept the prisoner's defence as the only true, discerning, and humane interpretation of a crime otherwise unaccountable, and the verdict as the only possible conclusion. Oar readers will re member that two cases of child murder by a parent's hand happened within the space of a very few days at Manchester and in London. The manner and, so to speak, the accessories of these murders were so similar, that the one looked like a ghastly reflection of the other. But on a closer examination, it is only in the outward circum stances that the resemblance appears. In the Manchester murder desperation and revenge made instruments and victims of the dearest and moat precious objects of natural affection ; the murder of Mrs. VYBE'II children was a sacrifice absolutely without motive. In the Manchester case only a motive so unnatural as almost to defy imagination could be discovered ; in Mrs. VYSZNS case there was simply none at all. It was proved by the defence that the mother bad been always most tenderly affectionate to her children, that the joy and pride of her heart and life were hound up with the beauty and happiness of the little girls ; that on the death of a child in 1860, accelerated as ahe be lieved by the negligence of • nurse, she had suffered extreme despondency, and had ever since been subject to fits of passion. In all other respects the unfortunate lady's domestic relations were— for aught that appeared in evidence to the con trary—perfectly tranquil and contented. Atthis point, then, the state of the mother'shealth was a fit subject for inquiry. In crimes of violence, and of violence against the most sacred and deeply rooted natural instincts, nature itself is often the sum + fhw mystery. Nature warn. na to pity and pardon the tne man would be condemned. In the present instance it was stated that Mrs. Vies "had nursed her infant for " upwards of fifteen months, and it was only in " April last that she discontinued to do so, and " in May she again found herself in the family " way." The effect of such a critical condition upon the brain of a woman already dis organized by long nursing, shaken by the loss of a child two years before, and, as it was abundantly proved, hereditarily predisposed to mental disease, could hardly be exaggerated. It is only too probable that the account of the murder of three children by their father, at Manche.- ter, lit up the smouldering madness in the poor woman's brain. Two of her cousins had been lunatics, her brother had committed suicide ; her grandfather was afflicted with paroxysms of in sanity, her grandmother bad attempted to strangle herself in consequence of the loss of a child. Other witnesses came forward to prove that the prisoner's manner and conduct had been strange, violent, and disturbed for some weeks before the murder of her children. Her regular medical attendant had observed an "irrationality in her " impulses," an extreme excitability and depression in her manner, an abruptness in her conversation. Dr. Foams Winnow, who listened to the whole evidence, considered all the symptoms he had heard described as consistent with a form of insanity " in which • person might commit murder or " homicide and not be aware of it at the time, " and afterwards become rational and sane." It is known that one of the commonest forms of in sanity in women is what is called "melancholic " monomania," attended with hallucinations and illusions varying in kind and degree, according to the temperament and the actual condition of the patient at the time when the disease declared itself. What were the hallucinations or illusions attendant upon the peculiar condition of Mrs. Vitae t The evidence on her trial does not precisely indi cate. Perhaps the belief that the death of her child in 1860 had been hastened by the negligence of the nurse, had something of the intensity and tenacity of a morbid hallucination. Undoubtedly the prolonged nursing of her last child had in creased the habitual depression, and her actual state of health at the time of the murder was of • nature to exasperate the dangerous symptoms. Enough and more than enough was brought before the jury to justify their conclusion that the mother's crime was, in fact, • fatality beyond the cognizance of human jurisdiction. It is a miserable satisfaction to the public to 'be assured that such a tragedy as this raises no indictment against the civilization which it saddens and appals. Something, in deed, was said on the trial about the culpable imprudence of selling notorious poison' to the first corner. The cause of public safety, we are disposed to think, will gain little by confounding preventible imprudence with impossible pre vention. As often as a chemist sells • packet of Barrts's vermin -killer, or an embrocation for rheumatism, to • chance or • regular cus tomer, though the packet or the phial be marked " poison" the result in any case may be murder or suicide ; and how is the chemist to prevent a catastrophe instead of a curet No law can put society on its guard against all the possibilities of criminal aberration. Law brings detection home to the delinquent, and prevents by punishing cul pable imprudence, but how can it prevent a mother, stricken with madness by tho visitation of Gon, from murdering her children with a powder prepared and sold for the killing of rats Of course we are not unaware that there was one deposition on the trial, and one only, which to readers in search of dramatic " complies " lions" might suggest a secret key to the wife's distraction more terrible by far than ary cause assigned for the mother's madness. There was a letter addressed and handed to a sister on the day of the murder, and this letter had been destroyed before the inquest, and the sister could not remember what was in it. On • less sub stantial mystery than this what fictions and dramas might not be founded ! The affection of the sisters for each other, and the love of the one for the other's children, would heighten the interest of the situation. And yet we believe the Jury were right in seeing nothing in the afflicted sister's story but the record of a sister's honest love. THE House of Commons, on the motion of Sir LAWRENCE PALE, given late on Tuesday night, yesterday threw out Mr. BOVVERIEN Clergy Belief Bill on its third reading. That Bill proposed to exempt any clergyman declaring his conscientious dissent from the doctrine or discipline of the Church of England from all eoclesiast;cal penal ties to which ho would now be liable if, after having resigned his benefice, he tried to earn his bread in some other calling. As the law now stands—and this was well said by Mr. Bouvcars in a speech which did great credit both to his understanding and to his libe rality—u the law now stands, the Hon. and Rev. Barmy NOISL himself might be pro ' seeded against by any person doing what in church slang is called " promoting the office of the Liahop ;" Z•ina warning, be silenced; or, if not silenced, punished rith six months' imprisonment. The keeper of a Hay market casino, indignant at Mr. Barret Nocc's humane interference on a question of which all men think and few are bold enough to speak, might, if he so pleased, wreak his vengeance by promoting the office of a Bishop against that excellent and useful man. And really, after the division of yesterday, one is tempted to wish that some crucial instance, ouch as this would be, might prove the iniquity of the law as it stands, for we can hardly believe that such a result would gratify even the stolid bigotry of Sir Law- RiNCX PALL. Of course, to starve a poor curate who has mistaken his profession is a proceeding very grateful to the rurklecanal conspiracies which get up petitions by the moors against any useful measure of church reform that may happen to irritate their animosity ; but that a man of rare influence, noble gifts, and holy life should be liable to be dragged to gaol for preaching the Gospel, is a result in which even the Bishop of Ernes would scarcely rejoice. It is evident the matter cannot stay where it is. Even in this do-nothing Parliament Mr. Borrraatets Bill would have been easily carried, except for a trick which is well enough in a sharp country attorsey who wants to throw out a turnpike bill, but is hardly consistent with the solemn virtue of a knot of county members. The House was taken by surprise ; but another Session, or another Parlia ment, will, we trust, wipe out this blot in the Statute-book, and without touching the tinder question of Orders—which the High Church party look upon u indelible as vaccination—set at rest for ever a question which wise men of all 'ladies, Mr. GLAnsvoirz not less than Mr. Borvanns,wish, and show by their votes that they wish, to lee settled.

DESPERATE FIGHTING.—RETREAT OF THE FEDERALS. NEW YORK, Joni 30, EVENING. (Per Etna, by telegraph to Ceps Race, and from Queenstown.) On the 26th inst. the Confederates, having been reinforced by Stonewall Jackson, attacked the right wing of the Federal army before Richmond with heavy force. Severe fighting continued during two days with heavy loss on both sides. The Federals, by order of General M'Clellan, receded several miles, hotly pursued by the Con federates. The Federals then made a stand, and held their position. The Federal are stated to have retreated for a strategic purpose. No official intelligence has yet been received. The fighting probably continues. The telegraphic communication has been inter rupted. Information obtained from reliable sources leads to the belief that General Burnside was to attack the Confederate defences near Richmond on the 28th inst. (LATEST BY TELEGRAPH TO CAPE BRCS. FURTHER DETAILS OF THE BATTLE BEFORE RICHMOND. NEW YORK, Jinx 1, Nourtmo. Fresh reports have been received of the late fight before Richmond, according to which General M'Clellan has contracted his lines, and massed his troops between the Chickahominy and Jame' rivers. The latter constitutes his base of ope rations. White House has been abandoned, and the right wing of M'Clellan's army has been drawn across the Chickahominy. On the 27th ultimo the Confederates made an attack on the right wing of the Federal'. The division of Stonewall Jackson attacked M'Clel lan's division of reserves on the extreme right. After a fight of three hours Jackson was repulsed. The Confederates then made several attacks on the Federal right wing, and severe fighting ensued. General Welellan then commenced the strategic movement' for which he had been preparing his whole right wing, fell back, and crossed the south aide of the Chickahominy in rear of his left wing. He afterwards made for James River. The evacuation of White House was completed on Saturday afternoon, the Federals carrying off all their materiel. The attack on Vicksburg by the Federal fleet in force is imminent. NEW YORK, Jan 28, ifolurnto. It is stated that the Federal General Benham will be court-martialled for disobedience of General Hunter's orders in attacking the batteries before Charleston. General Fremont asked to be relieved from his command, because General Pope had been ap- pointed over him. President Lincoln has acceded to General Fremont's request, and appointed General Rufus King to take hie place. Southern papers state that great efforts are being made to hold Vicksburg. President Lincoln has sent to the Senate a treaty made by the American minister, loaning to Mexico 11,000,000 dollars. At New Orleans, the Federal surgeon Biddle having taken a slave to be his servant, the owner of the slave retook him from Biddle. The owner was thereupon condemned to two years' imprison ment in the parish gaol, it having been decided that the Federal army must have everything it requires for its use. NEW YORK, Joss 27, Eviornto. Generals Fremont, Banks, and WIN/well's forces have been consolidated into one army, and General Pope has been assigned to the chief command. It is officially stated that General M'Clellan has been largely reinforced since the battle of Fair Oaks. General Pope will also operate against Richmond. The steamer Lempis, from Nassau, has run the Charleston blockade. Federal accounts state that the Federal attacked James Island, near Charleston, on the 14th inst., and were repulsed, after four hours' hard fighting, with a loss of 660 killed, wounded, and missing. The Federal were obliged to retreat under cover of I their gunboats. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Money abundant. Gold, 9 per cent. prem. Exchange--Bankers' bills excited and irregular at 1204.

The éclat with which the nuptials of the Prin cess Pia and the King of Portugal are to be cele brated will give them an importance almost politi cal. The King of Portugal, the Princess Clothilde, and Prince Napoleon will arrive at Turin towards the end of September. "Next to France and Eng land," says the Pres. e, "Portugal has manifested the liveliest and warmest sympathy for the Italian revolution. A faithful observer of the constitu tion, devoted to liberal ideas, the King of Portugal sets to the other governments of the Iberian Penin sula an example which they will, perhaps when too late, regret not having followed. The two sove reigns, who have the same principles, and will, perhaps, have the same fortune, are going, after the marriage, to visit the southern provinces of Italy together." GARIBALDI AT PALERMO. On the lit inst. Garibaldi received the members of a university at Palermo. "General," cried the young men to him, " we must to Rome and Venice with you." "Yee," he replied, "we will go there, despite those who wish otherwise." In the evening be went to the principal theatre of the city, which bears his name, where he was compelled by the company again to say a few words. Among other things be said, "Our programme is Italy and Victor Emmanuel; those who seek to substitute another programme for it wish for dis union, provoke municipal rivalries, and work for despotism. Italy now numbers 25 millions of men ; she is stronger than our powerful neighbours ran believe. Shameful it in that 25 millions of Italians should yet have brothers enslaved. Yea, it ii a shame, but it falls on those who have kept us till now inactive. But we will yet deliver Rome and Venice ; I swear it to you ; and although I am getting old, I hope to contribute to the deliverance of other oppressed peoples." On the 2nd inst., Garibaldi visited a school of young ladies which is named after him. "The pupils," says a letter, "gave him a touching recep tion. All of them wept. Nothing can be stranger and yet more sincere than this emotion." Before leaving the house Garibaldi wrote upon a blank page : —"Palermo, July 2, 1862—T0-day I have had the happiness to see again my dear daughters of this scheoL —G. GAILIBALDL GERMANY. Influential political men in Germany, members of various chambers in that country, and affiliated to the National Verein, have conceived the design of assembling at Frankfort, and of holding there a kind of preparatory parliament, in order to deliberate on the means of realising German unity on new bases, more conformable to the spirit of the time and to the wants of modern society. Invitations to take part in this meeting have been addressed to deputies of the Austrian parliament, who appear rather undecided as to the course to be pursued. The Ost-Deistiche Post believes that they will refuse, and that those of Bavaria and Wurtem berg will do the same. The preparatory parliament would thus be but a mutilated parliament, like the Beichsrath at Vienna ; bat it is not certain that this consideration will arrest the promoters of the project.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (not oils ows oosaesrommarr.) PARIS, ThUIIDAT EVIIMM. Lest the telegraph should not do full justice to the great news of the day—namely, the creation of • dukedom in favour of Count de Morny—l trans late the very words in which the Petrie heralds the event to the "wide upturned wondering eyes" of the French public : Clermont Femtad, July 9, 9 a.m. After the most brilliant reception that sovereign ewe re ceived, after a speech pronounced by Count de Monty as deputy and President of the Council-General of the Puy de Dame, the Emperor created Count de Moray Duke de Moray. The Pays, on the same great theme, says : The new Doke de Marcy, coming to take bie seat by the side of the Dukes of Malakoff sad Magenta, attests once more that in Francs civil glory is on • par with military. The Emperor, not separating in the justice of his counsels those who defend their country on the battle field from those who serve at the council board, is still faithful to the well-known traditions of his dynasty. M. de Moray will nobly hear his title of duke. Such superiority of intelli gence and nobleness of sentiment were never before united in a higher degree with patriotism and fidelity. It has been said that a prince hononin himself by honouring his sernuits. Most assuredly the decree of Clermont Ferrand will not wrong this national proverb, and the entire Preach nation will bail with applause this act of the sovereign The Duke de Morny has invited all the gentry within ten miles of his estate of Nadas to be pre sent at the Emperor's visit to him, and proposes, as the country papers say, " to feed them all" The trial of the fifty-four conspirators is going on slowly. The intorrogatories are not yet terminated. The counsel for the defence praise the impartiality of K Salmon, the president. The Bourse is firmer. Reute rose 15c., both for cash and account, closing at 68fr. 30c. and 68fr. 45c. Mobilier rose 7fr. 50c., and the Italian Loan 10c. In railway shame a rise of 3fr. 75c. in Or leans and Southern was the only noticeable change. A genealogist has found out, and cites, in sup port of his discovery, vol. 2of a work published in 1858 by a K Brasseur de Bourbourg, entitled " L'Histoire des Nations Civilisdes du Mexique," that the Empress Eugenie is the true heiress of the throne of Mexico through her ancestors, the Spanish Counts de Guzman, who were descendants of Montezuma. It is unfortunate that this new argument in support of the Mexican expedition should not have been brought forward before the CI was instructed to announce that all thoughts of a permanent occupation were aban doned. A letter from Frankfort of the 7th state% that a frightful storm of wind and rain bunt over that city and neighbourhood on the previous day, and in a quarter of an hour swept away all the build iogs which bad been erected for the national rifle match. The damage is animated at 50,000 florins. The banwietting room, in which about 4,000 persons were aasembled, wee blows down, and two persona killed and 10 wounded. The house-porters of St. Petersburg have re ceived a sort of organisatios for the purpose of pima's against inceodiariam. It is there an old custom (and cer tainly a strange one to exist in a great capital in the wood half of the 19th century) that the porter of every second house should sit at night before the door, provided with • piece of wood with which he from time to time nukes • noise in proof of his vigilance. Since the fires, every porter has thus to keep watch, and the policeman of the street has authority to muster these guardians of the gate. At his first whistle they all begio to clatter their bite of wood ; at a second they step out into the middle of the street, and at a third they hurry up to the police soldier, who either needs their help or has instructions to give them. A letter from Vichy aaya :—" Since the Emperor Napoleon first visited Vichy, the famous mineral waters of this delightful sanatory district on the hanks of the Allier have become more and more frequented, until fashion able medical men have got into the habit of sending well bred gout and genteel indigestion aux ea= de V ichy. A t the Parisian railway station, which is the busy Lyons and Mediterranean terminus, the traveller going to Vichy already begins to know something about the class of people he will find collecting round the far-off fountains of health. People of varied flesh tints, commencing with the pale cream-colour up to a decided Indian brown ; the red and purply grog-blush, and the pale, dead flabby, con gregate around luggage waiting to be ticketed. There are also men who do not look to have many serious silinp, but who limp and have a melancholy expression of countenance. The former are the bad digestion cases, and the latter belong to the gouty world of suffering humanity.

TURSCR.—CURIOUS °AIM Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. Busby for the petitioner; Mr. evident Shea and Mr. Tristram for the respondent. The suit was one for judicial separation on th e ground o f mashy. The respondent, Mr. Janis William Turner, • surge= at Kensington, denied the charge, and alleged adul tery against the petitioner. Petitioner said-1 am the daughter of Mr. Charles Heath. cote Tatham, an architect, in Mayfair. I became ac quainted with the respondent in 1844. He was living at 31, Phillimore.place, Keesington t bad had a child (a boy) at that time. In March, 1845, be fell downstairs, and Dr. Tumor attended him. Two mouths afterwards be proposed marriage to me. The child was not Dr. Turner's ; but he was perfectly aware of that. Afterwards be took charge of my son. We were married in Corn wall at my brother's church, on the 25th of March. 1847. He is a clergyman, and I was staying with him. I had pre viously lived with Dr. Turner ea his wife. I had • portion of 2,5004 ; a part of which I had settled on my child. I had also 60/. left me by my father, and shoat 141. from another source. Dr. Turner settled nothing en me. Nine years before my marriage I had had an accident and lost my leg ; and I wear an artificial one. About four years after my marriage my _husband knocked me down with his fist. He had been beating my child and I had remonstrated with hint In 1851, about September, we had had • dif. fereace at the table, and he became very violent. He fetched a riding whip and beat ens severely. I was ea alarmed that I ran out of the house. I met • policeman, who, seeing • lady in that state, asked me where I was going ? I was afraid toreturn without him, and he returned with me. I left him at the gate, went into the house, and told Mr. Turner that I should call the policeman in if be wed further violence. A finger of my right hand has been broken by the Tarpon &at. That also was in 1851. He knocked me down, trod oa me, and broke it with the heel of his boot. That quarrel had mime from a dispute about a patient Nothing was done ti rv mj . Mum, for he did not wish it to be ob. About • month after that he wrote to me from the country apologising for his violence. In July, 1858 , I had another altercation with bite. When be was theist I always opened his letters; and I had opened one that was from a lady. When he returned I headed it to him, and remonstrated with him upon its contests. I asked him how • patient could write to him in such a steals, and I got very angry about it. There was SA appointment made in the letter to meet him at It lodging. house is the neighbourhood, and I begged him not to go. He took oo notice of me. sad I told him that 1 should Ball and sea the lodpng-house keeper. 1 went, and Mr. Turner knocked me down. This was in Phillimore-plane. He came down in the afternoon to another house, which we bad called Priory Fenn. He met ins in • hayfield, where he used violent language, and would have struck me with hie 'tick had he not been prevented by his assisimit. I consulted my lawyer after this, sod • separation was agreed to by Mr. Tuner. A deed was drawn up ; but he came to me, and implored me to forgive him. In 1861 time had been • provisos negotiation of • similar kind ; and it went off in • Medlar way. In October, 1859, when I was living with him at the farm, hausedto walk into my room (for we had occupied ups. rate rooms thrum four years) and threaten me with violent& One eight he threatened me with a razor. Twice whoa I wanted to go out be took sway my wooden lag. Hs need to make my midortune • matter of ridicule and amuse. meat. He used to tell his patients that he had married me in consequenes of having cut off my kg. That was not true. It was aatrernely ioconvenierit to have my wooden leg removed. I had to be carried by my ocischsesa. In travelling with him through Wales, shortly after the marriags be once rang the bedroom bell for the chambermaid. When she cams he banded her my leg to air at the fire. I felt disgusted, and bagged him to fetch it back, and not make it the subject of ridicule. In October, 18111, I left him on account of • quarrel respecting money. He had wished me to give up every farthing I poseeseed.. I refused, and be took from me my plate chest, threw into it my jewels, shawls, and laces, adding, that he should hie to put me in with the rest. Thee be took it to has banks'. I was very much alarmed and called in a friend. by wham advice I left the house, and have never returned since. He had said he would bring a woman into the boom who would control me, open my letters, give me m clothes to wear, and dole me out any pocket money t hat it might be neemeary for me to have. On leaving his house I went to apartments in Little Ryder-drool, St. James's, and a month afterwards he burst into my room with a polio,. man. He said be came for his property, and took my desk, my account-book, and carte de maitre book. IlewouU have struck me if the policeman had not got between um. Croes-examioed—For some years after I fiat lived with Mr. Turner his professional receipts were but small. At the date of my marriage my debts were about 303/. We at first lived an the property that helmeted to me. At my marriage the respondent pm a bond to Mr. Crass, my trustee, for 2,560/. In theears 1848 and 1849 his income had mach Improved , sa d he was engaged with his VIIICSIOO all day. I used oonesatly to take the m I found in his pockets without hi knowing the amountrerni What I wanted I used, and returned the red to him, and he sent it to his banker. This lasted till 1858. Hi affairs at that time were in a very crippled state on account of his having laid oat large sums on his farm. In 1858, I put • stop tomy old plan of receiving money from him, and drew from him what I wanted every Tuesday. In Oct ober I owed upwards of 2301. I owed 110. 19s. to Mies Bull for milli nery. I did not owe Mrs. Moss 1621. for jewellery. I owed her something, but DOS so much ea that. I don't ktiow exactly what I owed her. I owed 107/. se. to Emmannel's for gold and silver articles. My husband sent my son to school at Twickenham ; he kept a pony for biro to fetch him home every Sunday ; be paid for riding lessons for him, and did his utmost to obtain my con sent to bring him up to the medical profession. I peremptorily opposed that scheme, and at my entreaty he let him go to the cavalry college at Richtnood. In 1857 he also let me go with him to Bordeaux, where I stayed far • month. I returned because I had no money. After my son left the cavalry college, the respondent let him have • pei mite tutor to prepare him for his examinatioe; ad he bought him a cornetcy in the 16th Lancers. That cod 4801. When my son was 19 I introduced hies to an old friend of mine Darned Crewe, who was eight or nine years older. They were married in September lest. My husband did not allow them 2001. a year, but he agreed to do so. My husband and I took to separate rooms because I refused to be din. turbed by his patients. He then bad the next mom, which was separated from mine by a green baize door. Ido not know how much plate !I had pawned before October, 1861. I may have raised 160/. in that way. I did it with. out hi knowledge. Amongst other plate were some malt-cel lars which had been presented bim by a patient. He did not ask for them on the 3rd of October. On that morning h r e went to the plate cheat, and found it Nearly empty. was perhaps 901. worth left. I then for t e first time ad. ndtted that I bad been in the habit of pawning the plate. He then Insisted that all the things in the booms of value should be brought to hum that he might take them to a place of safety. He did not ask me for the duplicates, and my desk, in which he supposed them to be. I mist that he did not He took hold of my desk ; but he pre it up to me very qnietly after he had examined it. Then he left the room ; and I packed up a trunk of necessaries. Mr. Smith, Mr. Turner's partner, who lived in the next house, came in. j said I would go ; and he implored ILO to stay. I left efl26in an hour after my husband had quitted me. I first went to the house of the Hon. Mrs. Rowley, with whom I was intimate. I stayed with her two days, and then I went to Little Hyder.street whence I wrote to him many letters. A greet number of these letters were then put in and read. The first, dated Oct. 14, was in this wise :—" My dearest James—For God', sake pray forgive me ! Do ace let a cruel world separate us. How can I live without you under any circumstances? Only forgive me, as you hope for forgiveness !—Your distressed wife, Acct.:bra rums." In another she said—" I have not had any immoral intimacy with Mr. Wedgewood. I can Namely swear 1 am as pure as when I left you, and shall remain so for my own self-respect" In soother she complained of her son Tom's reckless extravagance, which had brought her into so much trouble. She remarked that " Almighty God used the rue weapon to punish us that we had wroug ht ourselves," adding that she now knew " How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child !" In another letter she declared that she loved her hail:and more than ever ; and prayed that God would bless him, and soften his heart. [Tho esair was proceeding when oar report left.] COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (BdM/ Mr. Commissioner Ans.) IN RI HIGBEE—THE ALLEGED PIRACY or rioroonarns. The bankrupt, described as a photographic artist, of Pim.. Eon, recently applied for his order of discharge. He was oppceed by r. VV Williams, on behalf of Mr. Mira the well•known photographer, of Regent-street, who had sued the bankrupt, and obtained a verdict against him. His Hoooor now gave judgment. He mid—The question in this case was whether the bankrupt Higley should be allowed to par his last examinatioo and have his discharge. I have reed over the evideoce carefully, and I cannot see any reuse why Higbey should not Pass his last examine too. He appears to me to have told the truth fully and freely; and that being so, be ought also to have his die chugs. A long sad complicated story wee told to me I sheet a quantity of photographs, some of which were called and see" sedatives, of which the bankrupt Hig bad possomsd himself and from which he vu deriving L7I cioseidernble return.

A great deal was addramed to me on the question to whom the photographs tM• but with that I have nothing to do. The ques i. mustbediecuased elsewhere. The questions than to determine are—first, whether the bankrupt ham told the truth ; and I think he bins ; and if us he is entitled to pus his last examination. The second is whether he ought to
