LANCASHIRE DISTRESS. CENTRAL RELIEF FUND. A meeting of the Coutral Executive Committee was held yesterday afternoon, at the Manchester Town-hall. The Earl of DEWY in the chair. The Hon. Sec. reported that 40,0004, bad been received or promised during the past week, making the total amount received or pr omised up to Saturday last, 370,000/. (exclu sive of various local committees which have not yet advised the total sumreceived.) Thu balance in the bank is 141,158/., a larger sum than was eapected, partly owing to the Leavy payments of 31aucheeter subscriptions during the week. The heavy calls which will be made on the committee during the next weea or two will soon reduce the balance, The clothing committee announce that whilst since 25th October 2,143 large packages bad been despatched, 1,031 have been sent • away during the pant week. The increase is attributed to the greater facility of despatch afforded by the accommodu- tion of the new premises placed at the disposal of the com mittee by Lord Ducie. The following amounts had been received that morning :—From Dublin, ; Hudders field, 1,10.11. • Stafford, I,OOSW. ; Harrog.ite, Me/. ; Durban], 100/. 3diddi;toue, 500/.• Darlington, 525/.; West Hartle pool, BO.; Benham, 125/.; the Daily Tcleyr,ph Fund, 300/. additional (20/. on account of 100/. from Hay). The Earl of DERBY read a letter from Sir C. fliippe, an nouncing that he bad received directions from his Boyd Highness the Prince of Wales at ROHM, to pay to the Central Committee the sum of 1,1)001. towards the relief of distress in the manufacturing districts, as his Royal High ness's first act nu obtaining his majority. Lord Derby also handed in letters contributing 1 Mit fro m Graham's Town, 1,500/. from Port Elizabeth, 3,010. from Halifax (Nova Scotia), 2,0001. from Hung Kong, and 731 . from St. Nicholas. His lordship also announced 3,280/., as promised from the county of Stafford, per Lord Lichfield, and 1,200/. from the British Workmen's Association. It was resolved, on the motion of the Mayor of bLlts citrartit, seconded by Mr. WORRALL, that all sums received at Manchester and elsewhere amounting to W. mid upwards, should be acknowledged by advertisement weekly ; and sums of 11. and upwards in the Manchester papers. Sir J. K. SUCTTLIMORTH read e private letter, relating circumstances which, on the part of the writer, led to the idea that persons holding no recognised position ia clergy men, mayors, or chairmen, or secretaries of publicly consti tuted to o t collecting committees, had received contributions of which they gave no sufficient account. Lord briny suggested that as the Cotton Districts Relief Fund Committee, the Mansion - house Committee, and the Central Fund mmittee in Manchester, were ready to secure the appropriation of any contributions to special objects, all subscriptions solicited for special objects by per sons not representing publicly constituted committees or not well known, may be more safely sent to one of the dues above named central committees. Great caution should also be used in placing even small sums in boxes when the cha racter of the collectors is not well known. Sir J. K. SHUTTLEWORTH announced the following contri butions :-681. Is., from Captain A. I'. Ryder and the OffiCaet3 and ship's company of her Majesty's ship Hero ; 3001., being the first month's instalment of a house to house collection in Wimbledon, and which it was expected would be followed by 180/. at least monthly; 100/. from Mr. E. Hamilton, who, with Sir D. Cooper, had been the medium of transmission of the New South Wales Fund. In the absence of Colonel Patten, M.P., from flues', Sir James read a letter from Mr. Queett, stating that a meet *of farmers, held at Lichfield, had resulted in an offer to send nom as a contribution towards the Central Relief Fund, if a depot were established in Manchester for its reception. Numerous letters announced house to house collections or a weekly offertory in ninny parishes. A committee of parochial schoolmasters bad issued a circular, signed by Mr. Al'Leod., the master of the Military Model School, suggesting a collection of pence front working families whose children are at parochial schools. In addition to the contributions above indicated, a number of others were announced. A letter from Mr. 0. Piggot, of Bolton, stated that Lord Newport had given him untrue tiODS, as the Earl of Bradford's agent, and on Lis behalf, to pay to the central fund a donation of 5001., and to distribute MO/. also in Bolton (through the local relief committee), Farnworth, Darcy Lever, and Great Lever. A considerable stun per week (Mr. Piggot added) Is also being paid in wages to the unemployed, and coals were being given away in the immediate neighbourhood of Bolton. A letter was read which announced a collection of 5,000/. at Hong Kong, of which sum the 2,000/. handed in by Lord Derby has been appropriated to this committee by the recipients of the letter, Messrs. Matheson and Co., of Lombard-street. The leGer from the Mayor if Halifax (Nova Scotia) enclos ing the 3,0001. handed in by Lord Derby, coucludes na fol lows ;—" Although the population of Halifax is small—not exceeding 21.0 W, and our means are correzianidiocly limited, I hope that the present remittance will be shortly followed by a further sum, and that the inhabitants of the province of Nova Scotia at large, who are at this moment organising plans to follow the example of the capital, will still further increase the contributions." The letter from Graham's Town (Cape of Good Hope) also holds out an expectation of a further subscription to follow the remittance of 1,11 SW. announced above. A telegram announced a subscription of 1,00.11. from the city and county of St. John's, New Bruns wick. The following is an extract of a note received from Lord Wilton by the hon. secretary :"—Shelton Mowbray is a small town without any important trade or manufacture. The people there have showu great willingness to contri bute to the relief fund, although their !ileacs aro small : and at the lowest estimate the sum of 401. per month for five months will be forwarded regularly to the committee." Sir. Fa 881‘1.1. road the following report: __.• To the Central Executive Relief Committee. "Manchester, Doc. 1, 1862.—My Lords and Gentle men,—A reference to my tabular report for the week ended the 22nd ultimo, on the twenty-seven unions in the cotton manufacturing district, will show ,you that there in an increase in the number of persons receiving parochial relief, as compared with the numbers so relieved in the previous week, of 10,621 persons. There were, on the 22nd ultimo, 259,385 person receiving parochial relief in the unions adverted to; in the correspouding week of last year, 53,206 persons were so relieved ; there is, therefore, an increase of 206,179 persons in the receipt of parochial relief, or :187•5 per cent. The total weekly coat of out-doer relief, on the 22nd ultimo, was 17,6811. 7s. Bd. ; io the corresponding week of lust year it was 2,604/. Its. Id. ; there is, there fore, en increase of ' Ils. 7d., or 578 per cent. The average per centage of pauperism on the population of these unions, on the 22nd ultimo. was 13.1 ; in the corres ponding week of last year it was 2.7. The average amount of oat-door relief, both in kind and in money, per head per week in these unions, on the 22nd ultimo, was Is. 50. — the lowest was Is. (d., and the highest was Is. 10. Ad., at Glossop. Of th e 2415 persons receiving parochial relief on the 22nd ultimo, 38,815 were old or infirm, 97 .7 01; were able-bodied adults, cud 124,774 were under It years of age. The following table gives the amount in the pound on the net eiteable value (after deducting 27i per cent. for irre coverable rates, empty property , &c.) which each union named in it would require to meet the rest of relief alone, during one year, the calculations being based on the expen diture for the week ended 22nd ultimo :—Ashton-under- Lime, lls. 40. ; Blackburn, 7s. ; Burnley, sa. 45th ; Bury, 4a. tail. ; Glossop, Ili. BAd. ; Haalingden, Oa. 34d. ; Manchester (township), fa. sia. Oldham, Si. ; Pres ton, Ss. 2d. ; Ricbdale, 6s. ; Stockport, Gs. 5; 0 1. ; Tod raunlen, 6s. 44:1. The provisions, therefore, of Mr. Vil liers'e act—the Union Relief Aid Act—will become, at Christmas in at, a great and certain rctef of an inexpensive and ready character to the ratepayers of the above unions, and probubly also to the ratepayers of certain other unions, to which I need not further refer. 1 have received returns from the 75 local committees, formed for the distribution of charitable aid in the cotton nusenfavturiog districts, and lam enabled to state that those local committees are relieving weekly 172,010 persons who are not also receiving parochial relief from tho guar dians of the poor and that the expenditure of the 78 local committees was, last week, 15,14.3 t. 14s. The total number of persona. therefore, included in this report., who are either receiving parochial relief or are aided only by the charititi,:o committers, is 431,395, or 21.7 per cent on the population of the unions adverted to in this report. Tie present total weekly expenditure by the guardians in out-relief and by the committees of charity is 3344:1. In. tid., or Is. 7ld. per week to each recipient —I em, toy lards and gentlemen, your obedient servant, "If. B. FARNALL, Special Commissioner." Mr. Fans Au. then said—Last week I gave you a report cm the union of Ashton.undir•Lyre, and as I have beard that that report was of come service, I now Le o - , to give you e. reporton the potation of the ratepayers awl the poor in the union of Stockport, and also on the politico of the ratepayers and the poor ID the townshipof Stockport, which is within the union named. The union of Stockport contains 17 townships, within an area of 28,656 acres, its pomiletien numbers 94,3411 pereoup, and its net rateable value was 233,094/. in 11156. The present weekly expendi ture of this union in out-door relief is 903/. 2s. 9d., and the weekly coat of in-maintenance, at the rate of 3a. per head per week, is &i/. lie., making a total weekly expenditure 111 relief alone of 949/. 13s. 9.l.,which is at the rate of 51,464 t. per annum. The expenditure of this union, out of the poor rates, for all other purpwies then redef, for the year ended Ladv.day. litil, was 18,2281. ; this cum, therefore, added to 51.441/. spent in relief alone, makes a total annual ex penditure of 69,ctr21. The net rateable value of the pro perty in this union was, in Men as I have already stated, 2i3 ne.s4/. The total present expenditure, therefore. is now at the rate of pis. in the pound on that value ; but it is ne:easary to make a deduction of 25 per cent. from the net rateable value of 233,034/. for irrecoverable rates, empty property, kc. ; and, therefore, the net rateable value is reduced to 174,820/., so that the present ex pereliture is at the rate of Se. in the }mind nn that value. I may mention that there were, on the Intl' instant, 11,7e1 personas receiving parochial relief io this union, and that in the corresponding week of last year, 1,901 were so relieved ; and, further, that the weekly cost of out relief was, on the 15th het., tnit. 2e. 9d.. while in the correspond ing week of last year it was 931. 10.. 3d. The present per outage of pauperism on t he population of this union is 12.4 ; in the corresponding week of last year it was 2'o per cent. Before I pass on to the position of the township of Stock port, it will be convenient to remark that the valuable pro 'igloos of the Rate in Aid Act will dome into play, to the great relief of the ratepayers of this video, io about Bve weeks, viz., at Christmas next, when the hoard of guardians will be enabled to borrow, without difficulty or delay, any sum expended in and about relief, during the cur rent quarter, in excess of 9d. in the potted on the net rateable value of the union, or, if the guardians think 6t, it is very probable that they may be in a position to avail themselves of the fourth section of the act which I have named ; and 1 make this statement from • knowledge of the fact that the present weekly expenditure, in relief alone, is at the rate of Is. lid. in the pound on the net rateable value of the whole union. I cannot dose my report on this union without informing you that its total expenditure for the year ended Ledyday, 1861, wee 21,9361., so that the very moderate rate of Is. Sid. in the pound on its net rateable value covered its total expenditure ; a fact which 1 mention because the facility with which this important union could pay off any loan now required, when its expenditure resumes its ordinary proportion, is suffi ciently apparent. 1 will now direct your attention to the position of the township of Stockport. This township con tains a population of 30,745 persons, and its present net rateable value is 62,4481., the mill occupiers in the township being assessed at 11,946/. The number of the seessaments in the township is 8,100, and of these 6,371 are at or under 6/. ; the Small Tenements Act is not in operation here. This township is now spending weekly in relief alone 3001., being an expenditure in relief alone at the rate of 15,6001. per annum ; the expenditure of this township out of the poor-rates for all other purposes than relief (inclusive of a borough rate of 3,9521.), for the year ended Lady day, 1861, was 7,1391. This sum, therefore, added to 15,600/. spent in relief alone, makes a total annual ex penditure of 22,739/. The present net rateable value of this township is, as I have stated before, 62,4481. ; the total present expenditure, therefore, is now at the rated 7s. in the pound on that value ; but, as the Small Tenement@ Act is not in operation here, it is necessary to make a deduc tion of perhaps 40 per cent. from the net rateable value (62,448/4, for irrecoverable rat', empty perty. am., and, therefore, the net rateable value is reduced to 37,4881., so that the present expenditure is at the rate of 12s. lid. in the pound on the value. I may add that there are now 3,262 persons receiving parochial relief who are chargeable to this township, and that its percentage of pauperism on its population is 10.6. Since Lady-day last, two poor-rates, one at 2111. 6d. in the pound, and the other at Is., have been allowed. The first of these rates has been collected: it should have produced, with arrears of the previous rate, 8,2001.:4. ; but the distress in the township lessened this product by 2,1411. 17s. 101., or 26.1 per cent. The latter , rate is now being collected, sod, with a reduction of 40 per I cent., should realise 9,372/., a sum which, according to its present rate of expenditure, is calculated to meet all demands upon the township up to Lady.day next; so that rates amounting to 7s. 6d. will suffice for the total annual expenditure of this township. Applications were made front, and grants made to the following places. The figures in parentheses denote the number of weeks over which the grants extend :—Brier cliffe and Entwistle, 1001. and 1001. for clothing ; Risbton, 801. • Casaldtwistle (4), 3001. and 200/. for clothing ; ' Freckleton, 40/. ; Swinton and Pondlebury, 1504 for clothing ; Salisbury (4), 401. and 401. for clothing ; Whit ' worth and Facet (5), 300/. and 2001. for clothing; Budder, Waterloo, and Turton (5), 2001. and 109/. for clothing ; Whitfield (2), 100/. and 100/. for clothing ; Crag Valley (4), 1001, and 1001. for clothing ; Shuttleworth (2), to. - Moss ' ley (5), 1,0001. ; Mellor and Ramegrove (4), 50/. and'sol. for ' clothing ; Burnley, 1,000/. and roy. for clothing ; Hollin- I wood (5). 300/. ; Eccles and Patricroft (3), 2501. ; Crawshaw ]loth (2), 1001. and 100/. for clothing ; Hebden Bridge (4), 450/. and .1001. for clothing ; hfarple (2), 501. and 751. for • clothing ; Preston (4), 5,0001. ; Padiharo, 2001. ; Cadiehead ; (3), 301. and 30/. for clothing ; Littleborough (5), 120/. and 100/. for clothing ; Euxton (4), 501. ; Todmorden (4), 5001. and 5001. for clothing. I This concluded the business. Lint evening a large and influential meet ing took place at the Vestry-hall, Kensington, for the purpose of affording the parishioners en oppor tunity of expressing their sympathy with the sufferers in the cotton districts., and adopting measures fur contributing towards their relief.

EDGWARE, HIGHGATE, AND LONDON BAILWAY. The first ordinary meeting of shareholders took place yesterday, at the London Tavern, to elect directors and auditors, and to consider the terms of tbe agreement entered tote:provisionally with the Great Northern Rail way Company for working the line. Mr. E. WOMB pre sided. _ _ The following report was adopted : " By the act of incorporation, the company is empowered to construct a railway from the Seven Sistere-road Station of the Great Northern Railway to the town of Edgware, passing through Hornsey, Highgate, Finchley, Hendon, and Mill-hilL Owing to the vacation following no closely on the passing of the act, the arrangements preliminary to the construction of the line were unavoidably delayed; but the terms of a contract with Mr. Watson, of Parliament-street, for that purpose have now been settled. It is proposed to place stationa at the most convenient points for the aixom modation of the following places—viz., Hornaey-lane, High gate, Finchley, East-end and Church-end, Hendoo, Mill. bill, and Edgware. The terms of an agreement with the Great Northern Company for working the traffic of the line have been settled. The agreement provides that on completion of the line and works the traffic shall be worked by that -ompany, and they are to provide the requisite plant and staff for the purpose. Fifty per cent of the gross receipts is to be retained for working expenses, and the remaining 50 per cent. ib to be paid to the Edgware Company. This agreement has been approved by the Great Northern proprietors, and also by the Board of Trade; and it will be submitted for the approval of the Edgware Company at the fru thimming meeting. The Great Northern Company are authorised by the act to subscribe 73,000/. towards the capital, and the subscription has been duly sanctioned. In order that no time may be lost in com mencing, and actively proceediug with the works, it is im portant that the remainder of the capital should be Imme diately subscribed. The directors named in the act as representing the shareholder' are. Mr. Farquhar, Mr. Madden, Mr. Harper, and Mr. Magnay ; and being eligible for re-election, they offer themselves accordingly. The other directors, viz., Major Amsiuck and Mr. Faber, are two of the three directors named in the act as representing the Great Northern Company; Mr. Francis Parker, the other director, having died size., the act paroled, the vacancy thus occasioned will have to be supplied by the Great Northern board."

Mr. Ball (of Quilter and Ball) Rudd Mr. Beery Dawson were elected auditors. sod ten guineas each voted as their remuneration. The salary of the secretary was fixed at 2301. a-year. The meeting was then made special, to consider the agreement with the Great Northern Company, the beads of which were read by Mr. Leach, the solicitor of the Great Northern, and unanimously confirmed. The CHAIRMAN, in urging thi; shareholders to subscribe for the remaining capital, stated that the line would not coat more than from 27,0061. to 30,000/. a mile, which was less than the cost of any other metropolitan line.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Dec. 1. Sittinp at Eiti Prins after Term at Westtaiaster.—(Bdore Mr. Baron Martin and a Special Jury.) BATEMAN V. WINDILAY.---titt. AND MR& ViniDHABI. (Concluded from yesterday's Ezpreu.) Mr. Kerslake, in opening the case on the part of the de fence, said that though the slim claimed in this action was trifling, it was only one of a series of claims against Mr. Windham, and, therefore, involved an important principle. lie would not go through the history of the early connec tion of Mr. and Mrs. Windham. They were all aware who Mrs. Windham was, and what her life was before Mr. Wind ca became infatu ated with her and married her, and the only question was whether Mr. Windham was liable for this and the other debts which she had contracted under similar cir cumstances. He contended that he was not liable. Mrs. Windham was • lady living under the protection of a gentle man, or gentlemen, when he became attracted by her beauty, and when he married her in August, 1861, he warn • minor, and a ward in the Court of Chancery, or had only just es caped from that court. For what purpose that marriage was brought about was not material to the present inquiry, but there could be no doubt that it was with the view of getting the extravagant settlement which was made in that event. In addition to other benefits she derived under such settlement an annuity of 8001. a year was settled on her until 1869, and after that period she was to receive 1,5001. a year, charged on the Felbrigg and other estates in Norfolk. Almost up to the moment of her marriage she was living with some other gentleman, but she accompanied her husband abroad and remained with him • week in Paris. From the moment he married her he had no control over her of any sort or kind. She did what she liked, went where she liked, and would listen to no remonstrance on his part. They came back from Paris in the early part of Sep tember, and lived together at Felbrigg for a short time. He whaled her to remain there and be the mistress of his house, but she went against his will, and the object of her leaving afterwards became apparent. She was acquainted with a person of whom she was much fonder than Mr. 'Windham, and went with him to Dublin and elsewhere, and lived with him in open and barefaced adultery. At the latter end of December, 1861, proceedings in lunacy were commenced against Mr. Windham, and continued through the whole of that month and January following. During the whole of that period she remained away from Felbrigg against Mr. Windham's will, although every comfort and henry were provided for her there, including car rages and horses. She chose, however, to remain away, but she was provided with ample funds, and, besides the pro ceeds of the settlement, she had jewels of great value. She lived in open adultery with the person in question, • ringer of great eminence, at Clarendon-gardens ; and if she chose to leave her husba nd, and more especially for the purpose of committing adultery with other men, she could not legally pledge her husband's credit for debts contracted by her while living in that immoral state. She actually drove about in these very broughams with her paramour. Mr. Windham during this time remained at Felbrigg, and was totally ignorant of the career she was pursuing. Under these circumstances he was clearly not re sponsible for the debt now sought to be recovered. Mr. Frederick William Windham, the defendant, was then called, and examined by Mr. Rarslake. He said—l married my wife in August, 1861. Her name wail Agnes Ann Rogers, but she passed under the name of Willoughby. Before then she had been living under the protection of a gentleman. After the marriage we went to Paris, and re mained there a fortnight. The eldest sister of my wife went with me. 1 was then on good terms with my wife. In September we came to London and stayed a night at Morley's Hotel ; next morning we went home to Felbrigg. That was on the 16th or 17th. We remained together at Felbrigg until the beginning of October. She then went away without me, and went to Dublin. She said her doctor recommended her to go there. She remained away a fortnight or three weeks, and then came back to Felbrigg. She remained there until the middle of November, and then went away again. I stayed at Felbrigg until the com mission of lunacy wasopened in December. When she left she did so against my consent, and I did not know where she went to. The commission lasted through December and January. I first mot her outside bare during the inquiry. I requested her to come back, and she said she would after the trial. She kept away from me until the Bth February last. I did not know that she was living at Clsrendon.gardens until Mr. Davies informed me after the trial. I had nothing to do with taking the house. I bad carriages and horses at Felbrigg, and also some car riages in London. I had a phaeton in town during the trial. I had also a brougham at my house, 132, Piccadilly. She could have lived there if she chose. After the Bth „ . February she remained with me three weeks at Felbrigg. Afterwards she came to Loudon to see the doctor, on the ground of being ill. She went to • house I bad provided for her in town in Clifton.ganlens. When I went up there she had gone. I understand that she afterwards went to Spain. In August, 1862, I was reconciled to bar. She kept on writing letters begging and praying me to let her come back. At last I found that it was impossible to bear with her any longer. I lived with her in Westbourne-terraoe in July. and in August we went on an excursion in a yacht to Boulogne. I know nothing as to what she did between the 31st January and Sth February, or where she was. I was never at Clarendon-gardens in my life. I don't know Mr. Bateman, the plaintiff. I never bald I would pay him the bill if it were 100/. 1 once met a man dressed like • Nor folk pig -dealer, who informed me that be had received • cheque from Mrs. Windham, signed by me. (Laughter.) I said that was very probable, but I knew nothing about it. I took the house at 10, Clifton-gardens, for her for • month. That was in February last. I paid 21 gu inea to the auctioneer for the month. She went there on the Saturday and left on . . the Monday. I never saw the plaintiff at Hampton races. I left Eton at Christmas, ism. I was with my mother at Torquay in 18.57, and in 1858 I was at a private tutor's. I ern now 22 years of age. Crum-examined by Mr. Muddleston—l was at Hampton races with my mother about three yearn ago. That is the only time I ever was there. I don't know that my wife's illness was caused by me. Were younot labouriog from disease'—l might have been. Were yon Lot ill at the time you married Miss Wil loughby ?—I decline to answer any such questions. They have nothing to do with this me. Was it not in consequence of her illness, communicated by you, that she came up to town ?—I decline to answer the _ . . question. Mr. Baron Martin—l think he is quite justified in saying so. Defendant—The first time she left me she went to Dublin, and not to see a doctor. The doctor saw her at Felbrigg hall first, and she came to town to see him in February. I believe she was ill whilst she was away from me. Mr. Buddleston—Was she ill when she was with you ? Defendant—l shall not answer the question. Yates, my pad groom, did not tome to London with Mrs. Windham. S' be would not let him go with ber. I don't know if Messrs. Gregory, my solicitors, have applied to the plaintiff for the amount of this bill. I gave them instructions after the trial to get in all my bills and settle them. I assisted to get out a list. We put down Mrs. Windham's debts as far as we could ascertain. I can't recollect if the plaintiff's bill was among the lot. My solicitors were in structed to get in all the bills and discharge them. I heard from Mr. Davies of Mrs. Windham leaving Clareudon•gardens. I saw her twice daring the trial. She drove down in her brougham to Westminster-hall. I spoke to her on each occasion in the presence of my solicitor, but I don't recollect if I shook hands with her. She told me she was staying at the Euston-square Hotel, but I did not go there to see hor. I lid not see her after she left Felbrigg hall till I saw ber io the brougham. I made no inquiries about her. I hired Clifton-gardens. When she saw macho asked nie how the trial was going on. I did not make a disturbance at Clifton-gardeos. There was no party there at the time I went there, only my servants. My footman was there in possession of the plate. I was not going to leave it there except in charge of my servant. I had no chance of living there with Mrs. Windham. She went there on Saturday. I went back to lelbrigg-ball, and when I came up again on the Monday she was gone. (Laughter, in which the defendant heartily joined.) 1 think her running away from Clifton-gardens is the seine as her running away from Felbrigg-ball. I went to live with her at Westbourne-terrace in July in consequence of the letters I received from her solicitor, and also from herself, is which the begged me to come back, sad she would live quietly with me. I remained there with her about two months—till I found what she bad been at again. (Laughter.) I afterwards learned that she had been to Spain and Dublin. Mr. Huddleston—Did you know whom she had been with to Dublin? Defendant—She said with the opera company. (Laughter.) That is all I know about it. Had you beard that she had been living with Giuglini ? I heard many reports, but nothing positive. 1 made no in quiries. I did not trouble myself about it. I did not in quire where she had been before I went back to live with her. She asked me to forgive her for what bad passed. For what were you to forgive her!—That I can't tell. Had you not learnt that she had been living with this opera singer!—Not positively. Had you not reason to believe it?—l never saw them together. Did she promise to give him up ?—She said nothing to me about it? (Laughter.) Did you not make inquiries about it!—No ; I minded my own business, not hers. When I went beck to her in July I did not ask her where she bad been. I had signed a deed of separation, and l bad no ream° to ask her. I heard she was living in Westbournoterrace alone. Whom did you - hear she had been in Dublin with!—Her sister ands servant. Not with Giuglini?-oh, yes ; with the opera company. There ware reports that she had been seen with Giuglini. Having signed a deed of separation I had nothing more to think of her. I heard enough about Giuglini during the trial. I have beard that Giuglini used to visit her in the day.time—l suppose at Clarendon-gardens. I don't know where she was hying. Did you not think it worth your while to inquire? Defendant—Certainly not During the trial I was ad. vised by my *elicitors not to do so. I had my interests to look after then. not hers. (Laughter.) Were yea at Clifton-gardens on the 28th February ? I was there about two hours. I never saw • void there except the footman, sad I went back to Shoreditth Sta tion. I moonset a shabbily dressed man looking, es we should may in Norfolk, "like • pig dealer,* said something to me as I got into the cab. It night have been the plain tiff, but he Is dressed differently now. I don't know the plaintiff. I don't recollect what I said to the person who accosted me on that occasion. Re-examined—Mrs Windham had left me before the trial, or she could have gore to my house in Piccadilly. Sho never honoured me with her presence there. I had no con trol over her. She would do as she liked. (Laughter.) When she left me she went alone. I advertised In the papers tbat in consequence of her scandalous conduct I would not be answerable for her debte, and I directed my solicitor to get in my bills and diachargo them. A separa tion took place in June, IBG2, by which I was not to molest her, and I should not have gone near her afterwards if she bad not bothered my life out. (laughter.) She took a house in Westbourne-terrace, and paid for it out of her own money. Sho was constantly writing to me, and I wont back. I spent a great deal of money, and I then separated from her again. - Mary Ann Dicker deposed—l was in Mrs. Windham's service in 1861 and 1862. I was with her at Bilborough house, St. John's-wood, at Manchester. Newcastle, Claren don-gardens, and other places. I was in her service before her marriage, when she was under the protection of a gentleman. The first time I saw her after her marriage was at the Easton Hotel. She afterwards went to Glasgow. I went into her service when she returned to Bilborough house. She kept a French servant, John Foyle, who acted as footman, myself, and there was a cook for a short time. I attended on her. The first or second day I was sent for to light a fire in the bedroom. She and Giuglini were in bed togther at the time. He lived in the house for a fortnight or three weeks. Mr. Iluddleston—Where did you say you saw them? Mr. Baron Martin—You have got them in bed together, what do you want more ? (Laughter.) Mr. Keane—How often did yon see them in bed together? Witness—Every night. Did they appear to be living as man and wife? Witness—l believe so. (Laughter.) They did the tams at Liverpool and Manchester. When she lived at Clarendon gardens Giuglini came at night and left in the morning. In what part of the house used he to spend the night! Witness—ln the bedroom. (Laughter.) And did you see them together as man and wife in the house? . . . _ _ Wamea—l suppose so. I saw them in bed together. That lasted up to the time of Mrs. Windham going to Felbrigg-hall on the Bth February. I have not lived with her since. —. Cross-examined—l went to Felbrigg-ball with her. John Foyle did not. He was Mrs. Windham's servant. I did not mention to any one that she was living with Giuglini. I was not asked. John Foyle deposed—l went with Mrs. Windham in 1856, when she was Miss Willoughby. I acted as her coachman, and drove her about town. She was then living in Orchard street under the protection of a gentleman. I first knew Giuglini from his visiting her these. Before her marriage I used to drive her to Somers-terrace, Brampton, where Giuglini resided. I recollect the marriage taking place in 1861, a week or a fortnight after I saw her at the Easton Hotel. 1 then went into her service again, and at her direction I went to Mr. Poole's, and was mea sured for my clothes. I went with her to Bilborough house ; Giuglini came there to live. Mrs. Windham was living with Giuglini at the time of the lunacy inquiry. Mrs. Windham accomp anied Giuglini on a professional tour. I was left in charge o the house. I have taken bills up to the bedroom, and seen them in bed together as man and wife. It wee the same at Clarendon-gardens. Giuglini used to go out in the brougham with her. I never saw the defendant at Bilborough-house or Clarendon-gardens. Mrs. Dicker was recalled—l never saw Mr. Windham at either of the ab3ve places. The deed was then put in by which Mrs. Windham was entitled to an income of 8601. a year. This was the defendant's one. Mr. Baron Martin said that being so, he was prepared to ten the jury that if they believed the defendant a witnesses be was entitled to the verdict. Mr. Huddlestoo said in that case it would be idle for him to struggle with the case further. Assuming adultery had been committed, would not the condonation in Westbourne terrace make the defendant liable? The conversation that he proved on the 2dth of February was a recognition of the wife's authority to pledge her husband's credit. Mr. Baron Martin said that probably in the case of a kept woman it might, but not in that of a wife. Mr. Huddleston said then probably his lordship would give him an o rtuoity of challenging that ruling. Mr. Baron Martin said he did not want leave. Ile could move without it. Be should direct the jury that by law a married woman could to a certain extent biod her husband, but if she were living apart from him and committed adul tery she absolutely destroyed her agency and ceased to have any power to bind her husband, and every contract she made under those circumstances was void as against the husband. Condonation bad no effect, for the contract arises here at the moment it was made and the work and labour done, and anything that subsequently weed between the plaintiff and defendant could not at all affect his liability. In point of law be never was liable, and it was not only law, but reason and common sense. The jury then returned a verdict for the defendant. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.—Dec. 1. Sitting in Error.—(Before Justices Wiegman, Williams, Crompton, Willem, and Blackburn.) ecOri . r. LORD SEYMOUR. This wail an action brought against Lord Seymour to recover compensation in damages for an assault alleged to have been committed by the defendant at Naples. The defendant pleaded, first, that the case ought to be tried in Naples ; and, secondly, that there were other proceedings in respect to the assault now pending in Naples which barred the present action. Mr. Homyruan appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Archibold for the defendant. The Court having heard Mr. Arrhibold in support of the pleas, said they would _give judgment tomorrow , and that they would then tell Mr. lionymau whether they wished to hear him or not. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—MAIDsToNz, Dec. 1. Mr. Justice Byles took Lis seat is the Crown Court to day, at 10 o'clock. His lordship addressed the grand jury (of whom there was a very full attendance) at some length, in reference to the present system of punishment inflicted upon criminals. Several cues were disposed of, but none of them con tained features of particular public interest. OXFORD CIRCUIT.--s —TAFFORD, DEC. 1. (Before /dr. Justice Mellor.) His lordship was occupied nearly all day in trying mei of burglary, of which there were no fewer than twenty in the calendar. Of these cases there were five prisoners charged with being concerned in six burglaries. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The December general sessions of the peace for the county of Middlesex commenced yesterday at the Sessions house, Clerkenwell-green, before Mr. Bodkin, weistent• judge, and a bench of magistrates. „,..The calendar is very heavy, considering the short time which Laa elapsed since the termination of the former selai.ms on Friday week — there being 93 prisoners for trial, 82 being charged with felony and 11 with misdemeanour. The state of educa tion of the prisocers was reported as lower than the average, for amongst the number committed 19 could neitherread nor write, 49 read and write but imperfectly, 19 could read ouly, and 5 were described as being able to read nod write well. The cases taken daring the day were not of sufficient interest to call for a report. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. Edward Sandell, a respectably-dressed, tall, thin, and cadaverous.lookitg young fellow, was brought up before Alderman Copeland on a warrant, charged with neglecting to pay - a cabman his lawful fare. William Bray, • cab-driver, said the prisoner employed him on a Friday in August last, and after driving him about for some time he left him without paying him his fare. Hia master, who was one of the best masters in London, did not believe his story, and directed him to make up the deficiency on the following day, but unfortunately he met with the prisoner and drove him again, and was again deceived by Lim, and not having any money for his master at night Le was discharged. The prisoner did not dispute the cabman's chain. Alderman Copeland ordered the prisoner to pay 17a 6d. for the fare, 6a. for two summonses, 4s. rid. for the warrant, and 16a. for the cabman's loos of time, or 21 days' imprison• remit in default. The amount was paid. BOW-STREET. A little before 5 o'clock, Hugh Morris , porter at Dana's Inn, was brought before I r Corrie, charged ' with causing the death of Mr. Edward Leigh, a gentlemen. John Thomas Ford, waiter at the Somerset Hotel. Stilted, deposed—On Thursday, 20th November ult., between half past seven and eight. o'clock, Mr. Leigh and the prisoner came to our ooffee-room and ordered dinner. Mr. Corrie—ls Mr. Leigh the man who is dead? Witness—Yes. Mr. Cowie—What was be? Witness—A gentleman, sir. They cadend dinner for themselves. Mr. Cowie—Were they going to dine together ? Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Leigh went out and left the pri soner, who fell asleep at the table. After • short time he woke up, and Boding that Mr. Leigh Ina gone he went out in search of him. Mr. Leigh aune to, sad Boding the prisoner was gone, went out to look for him, and they returned together. They dined together, and after dinner began to play with the cheese knives, Morris showing Mr. Leigh the difference between carte and tierce. Morns not being able to show it to his satisfaction sat down, and then with the knives Morris showediE:y they should protect theramdvai. Mr. Leigh held nits in that way, and Morris held hia wider,ex his =m u m by g odurm, which may be described thus:-Leigh holding the knife with his thumb on the end of the die, and the blade protruding from under the little finger • end Morris with the end of the beadle under the little finger, and the hide protruding from between the forefinger sad the thumb.) Both 'track together, Leigh over Morrie's shoulder, Morris at Leigh's belly, just a little shove the groin on the right side. Mr. Leigh put his baud to the.place and sat down. I asked him if anything was the matter—if he was hurt! He raid, " No." Morris immediately said, "My God! lam sure I have hit you." Mr. Leigh said, " I will show him." He unbuttoned his trousers, and I saw that he was wounded. The blood was flowing, but not to any extent. I took Mr. Leigh into a private room and sent for a doctor, Mr. Dunn, who dressed the wound. By Mr. Duntee advice he remained at the hotel. He died yes terday moruing about a quarter after ll o'clock. They had not quarreled. They were laughing and jokiog with each other all the dinner time. _ . Mr. Corrie—As far u you can judge—indeed you say eo— it wee an accident? Wither—Purely so. Inspector Brimnacombe said that Mr. Leigh, the elder brother of deceased, was in court. He knew nothing of the facts of the case. Mr. Corrie—There seems to be no doubt es to the facts of the case. The witness saw the whole transaction. Of course I shall require more evidence. You know nothing of the case, Mr. Leigh? Mr. Leigh—No. My brother said nothing to me about it. I believe he told the surgeon it was more his own fault than that of Morris. My brother was 24 years of age, and was reading for the bar. Mr. Come—l will remand him. I will take bail for his appearance. (To the prisoner)—C.an you get bail? The prisoner—Yes, sir. Mr. Corrie—l shall require two sureties in 501. each, and your own recogniaances in 100/. Ultimately Mr. Cowie accepted one bail in 100/. instead of two in 501., and the recognisances having been entered into, the prisoner was liberated. WESTMINSTER. Timothy Sullivan underwent a lengthened re-examination before Mr. Paynter, charged with the garotte robbery of Mrs. Sarah Hartnell, at Sloane.street, Knightsbridge. The particulars of the former examination have been already detailed. Mr. Smyth prosecuted; Mr. Edward Lewis, of Marl borough.strest, defended. The prosecutrix and her witnesses, who had previously given their evidence, were subjected to a long and severe cross-examination by Mr. Lewis, but nothing whatever was elicited to shake their testimony in the slightest degree. The object of the croesexamination was to endeavour to show that the prisoner, who was intoxicated, had rolled up against the prosecutrix's friends, and that a scuffle ensued in which prisoner was struck, but all the witnesses for the prosecution positively denied this, and repeated their former testimony. Hartnell said that immediately after his wife was attacked, be heard • carman named Scott apply an offensive epithet to her, and immediately struck at him, and the witness Woolwich, who went to Mrs. Madmen's assistance, admitted that he struck the prisoner in her de fence. . 'w hri. Lewis addressed the my • to in defence of the prisoner, on whose behalf be celled a number of witnesses. The prisoner wee ultimately remanded, bail being refused. TH AMPS. Alfred Fading, • youth about 18 years of age, was charged with stealing upwards of 100 pairs of boots and shoes, the property of Mr. Fraser, of No. 172, St. George street, Batcliff.highway, and William Elliott, • iouraey. man shoemaker, sixty years of age, was charged with felo niously receiving the property, be well knowing it to be stolen. The younger prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Fraser for about eix years. For some time past the prose cutor had been continually miming new boots and shoes from his stock. A clever detective officer named Porter William Dunaway, No. 129 H. was instructed to trace the property, and detect the parties engaged in the robberies. Dunaway ascertained that the lad Puling bad sold • large number of his mute?* boots and shoes to Elliott, who dis posed of them again W • woman named Leary, the occu pier of a home and chandler's shop at the cormr of John street, Commercial-road East. Mr. Dunaway searched Mrs. Lear 's shop. There were twenty pairs of new boots exposed for sale in her shop window. They were all identified by Mr. Clark, foreman to the prosecutor , as his master's property. Each boot contained his master's private mark ins ide, and the foreman's own figures at the bottom of each. Mrs. Leary said she bought the twenty pairs of boots of Elliott, a pair at a time, and he led her to believe he was the maker of them. Dunaway - stated that on taking Elliott into elstody at his dwelling, No. 28, William-street, St. George'sdn-the-East, he said he bed bought a few pain+ of boots of the lad Puling. He found • new pair of side-spring boots and • new suit of clothes recently purchased in the possession of each pri soner. The two pairs of boots worse portion of those stolen from Mr. Fraser's premises. He took from the lad 21. 16s. in cash, and he admitted that he had robbed his master, ' and bad done so because his wages were low. The witness then asked for a remand to enable him to trace more of the stolen property, and obtain other evidence. The prisoners made no defence, and were remanded until Thursday. Abraham De Frits, =aged Jew, and well-known reciever of stolen property, carrying on business as • jeweller at No. 20i, Bishopegate-street, and also in Harrow-alley, Petticoat-lane, was charged with feloniously receiving a gold chain valued at 111. 10s., he well knowing the same to have been stolen. Mr. James Lusby, a fixture-dealer, of No. 100 8 , White chapel-road, stated that on the night of Oct. 4, after leaving a sale in the Commercial road, he accompanied • gentleman to the BedfordArnis public-house ie Bedford-street, Stepney, where he partook of some refreshment, and very soon after leaving Ls friend there he was struck from behind with a life preserver on the top of the head and fell sense less to the ground. When be recovered be discovered he had been plundered of two 51. Hank of England notes, 51. in gold, some silver, two gold rings, • silver gilt watch, and • new gold chain, for which be had given 111. 10s. a few days previously. He was severely injured by the blow be received, and bed been under medical treatment ever sioce. The blow lies affected my neck and throat. I have been in terrible pain ever since. I wee robbed of everything valuable I had about me, and was found by the police in • state of insensibility. This afternoon, about two o'clock, I was passing the prisoner's shop in Harrow-alley, and saw my gold chain lying snug" in • corner of the window board with two other gold chains near it. I went to the station-Louse immediately. and the chain was recovered. It was about half-past one o'clock in the morning when I was knocked down and robbed. I was walking along Baker street, about 200 yards from the Bedford Arms, when the occurrence happened. The defence set up by the prisoner was that he bought the chain of • sweep, who lived in Tooley-street, for dl., but he did not know the number of his house. ,The prisoner was formally remanded till Wednesday, teLen he will be committed for trial. THE MYSTERIOUS POISONINGS IN YORK. Mrs. Cooke was yesterday brought up for re-ex amination before the Lord Mayor at the Guildhall, when an immense number attended to hear the case. The prisoner was to-day defended by Mr. H. Breary. The witness Ann Clancy was recalled, and in addition to her former evidence about Mrs. Cooke (the prisoner) offering to give her 5!. if she would put something in the flour bin in the prosecutor's house, she now deposed that she remem bered that the prisoner had at the time the conversation referred to took place asked her to go out and fetch some packets of rat powder, observing also that if she could get "shut " of the old gentleman. Mr. Edwin (her husband) would soon die of grief. She alio added that they were a bad family Soon after this the witneu was discharged from Mrs. Cooke's service. Mr. Cooke, sea., was also called, and after deposing to some unimp ortant facts, he was cross-examined relative to some domestic pecuniary matters. From this evi dence it would seem that the prisoner posses/ma some money, the whole, or most part of which, had been in vested io the purchase of the prisoner's husband's business in Coney-street. Money matters, therefore, it seems has partaken largely in the family differences of the Cooke.. He also stated that in consequence of the former attempts to poison he had, for the sake of precaution, ordered the servants to procure the dour in small quantities of a dealer in the neighbourhood, thus preventing the possibility of toolarge a quantity of poisoned dour being made at once. The remainder of the witnesses, twelve in number, were then called, from whose evidence it appeared the prisoner, on a recent visit to her father-in-law's house, was left alone with the servant, when she took the opportunity to ask several questions relative to the fastenings of the hack and office doors, between which pl a ces th e flour bin is said to have been placed. Mr. William Procter, M.L., of York, had received a quantity of flour, bread, sod mince pies, which had been taken possession of by the police immediately after the last poisoning took place. He subjected those articles to chemical analysis. In the bread loaf be detected a very inconsiderable quantity of arsenic; in the flour, however , there was a very large quantity of that poison very unequally diffused, just as the appearances would be presented if a person had placed a quantity of arsenic in it, and then the portions of flow had been taken out from time to time. In the mince pie be discovered 224 grain, of pore arsenic ; and from the piece of mince pie he obtained about 12 grains. He wandered that between three and four grains were a fatal dose. He bad attended the family when they were ill, and he was of opinion that they were all suffering from poisoning by some mineral poison. The result of the ease was not known when our parcel was despatched.

In the process, however, the boat, by coming in contact with the " quarter" of the ship, was un happily upset, with the whole of its crew. By the efforts of the men on board the Sancho two of the poor fellows were rescued, but the remaining three, whom no help could reach, perished in the waves. Up to Sunday only one the missing bodies had been recovered. NUMBER OF SURGEONS IN THE FEDERAL ASMY.--.
