II BILL °wait. being an op p osi tion that ought to have been offered on the seeped rea ding of the bill, he (the Chancellor of the Ex chequer) con not concur in that charge, because although Iris hon. friend did not go on precisely the same lines &shad been Indicated en the part of the government of Lord Pal merston as constituting an admirable compromise of the matter, be undoubtedly contemplated in some degree the (lime ends. The hon. and learned jjentlemanthe member for Exeterhad proceeded= thiaminmple—thatthe advantage of the degree offered by the hen. baronet the member for the University of Oxford to all persons, irrespective of their religious profession, was no advantage at all, and would not of itself justify the contemplated legislation. But different persons took different views of the same object at different times, and in 1866, when the right hon. gen tleman the member for Kilmarnock legislated for the University of Cambridge, and varied the law by granting In the Umverwity of Cambridge what was withheld in the are of the University of Oxford, although he re tained the same restraint in the University of Cambridge as the hon. baronet proposed to retain in the University of Oxford, the law that was passed with respect to the Cam bridge Univendty was considered to be a very considerable step in advance as compared with what was the case in the University of Oxford. (Hear, hear.) The proposal to pant in the case of theUniveraity of Oxford that which had been given to the University of Cambridge could hardly be regarded as an unreal or unsubstantial propo sition. (Hear, hear.) His hon. friend had made an appeal to the government, and had said the . question was one which the government ought to take in hand. In reply to that appeal he could only say that he was not authorised, nor was any one authorieed on behalf of the government, to say anything on behalf of the bill. Be fully admitted that if the present or any other govern ment could see its way to a settlement of this question, such settlement would on every ground be most desirable. (Hear, hear.) But he did not think that a settlement could be effected by small concessions ; the concessions must be considerable • and it was important that in what ever was done by that hour, the public should under stand that religions guarantees would remain intact, and that whatever arrangement was made would be lasting. Be did not think that his hon. frii.nul would gain much by pressing propositions which, although showing liberal dis positions, would not satisfy those who had carried the bill to the committee. The hon. and learned member for Exeter's distinction between the university and the col leges was in his (the Chancellor of the Exchequer's) opinion untenable. They could only deal successfully with the matter by dealing with the university and colleges alike ; you could not, in fact, have the university open and the colleges closed. (Opposition cheers.) They had peened, in 1&14.56, measures for establithing independent halls, but be regretted to add that the experiment bad not been successful. The fact was that it was impos sible to treat this question otherwise than aa a whole, as the religious teaching of the university must be that of the colleges, and vice vent. There was (die large party which must be considered whenever they sought to deal with this question as a whole, and that was the parents of England. (Opposition cheers.) These parents sent their children to the university in the full confidence that a certain religious system would be taught them, and he held that it would not be fair for parliament to deceive these expectations by drawing the ',seamed distinction between universities and colleges. Precedent was in favour of dealing with the question of university manage ment rarely but as a whole. He believed `hat this bill would not settle the question, nor would it satisfy senters ; it was merely pulling a stone out of the edifice, and leaving future opportunities to any man who chose to come with a pickaxe and pick out another. Whilst wishing to deal with the question comprehensively he wished also to deal with it liberally, and he believed a good deal might be done by a spirit of conciliation. But such spirit to he effectual must prevail on both sides of the house. Be did not think it would be possible to ride roughshod over it with abstract principles ; but still all honours and emo luments might be conceded to dissenters, subject however to this vital and indisputable condition which lay at the root of the whole matter. Equity as well as policy de manded that nothing should be done which did not leave l i effectual security fur the maintenance in all its vigour of the religious system at present prevailing in the university. I (Opposition cheers.) He should do all in his power to I promote a settlement subject to such conditions, but he could not consistently with that view rapport the present measure, which would settle nothing aril would not be satisfactory to the ulissenters. Mr. G. DUFF should Lave wished to hear the speech which had just been delivered fron. any other lips than I those of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The liberal party had not occupied a united position this session, but lt would have been more so if its members had not feared that whilst dashing up in a forlorn hope their general might turn round and fire into them with a revolver. The right hon. gentleman had told them that he forgot many things and had lived to change many opinions. He (Mr. Duff) hoped that before the right lion. gentleman was laid in the Abbey he would forget a good deal cf what he haul said that day. (A laugh.) The best men in Oxford had signed a petition in favour of the bill of the hon. and learned member for Exeter, which was calculated to put , an end to those political discussions which were the bane of the university. Sir S. NORTHCOTE supported the amendment. If they deprived the universities of their religious teaching the clergy would gradually withdraw front them and establish exclusively theological neniinaries, a step which every one would regret. They were willing to relieve all real grievances, but wished to preserve the religious teaching of the university. Mr. C. FORT) CUE denied that religious teaching haul anything to do with the university. It was in the col leges that the religious teaching was carried on. He pro tested against going to a division on the principle that this bill would interfere with the religious teaching of the colleges, with which the university had nothing to do. Lord CRANBORNE denied the distinction between the colleges and universities as regarded religions teaching. If it should happen that a very large number of dissenters, or persons hostile to the church of England, should find their way to convocation, the house would find that the education of the university would he so adapted and altered as to be hostile to the religious thought of the church of England. Mr. EVANS, as a Cambridge man, had avoided taking any part in the debate, but could not allow some of the remarks of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to remain un noticed. He war disappointed to find the right hon. gen tleman virtually opposing a bill which went in the direc tion of religious freedom. (Hear, hear.) Mr. NEWDEGATEwarned the house against the danger of those occult approaches in matters in which no prin• ciple seemed to be involved, but which would ultimately compromise the character of the university, if they did not stay them by an emphatic protest against piecemeal legis• Litton. (Hee:, hear.) Mr. MOItRISON agreed with the Chancellor of the Exchequer that it would be desirable that the entity ques tion of university reform should be dealt with in one com prehensive measure. Such a measure, however, could scarcely be undertaken by any private member. The right hon. gentleman stated that it would be worthy the consideration of the government if they found that there was a reasonable hope of its passing. Now, he (Mr. Mor rison) believed that if there was one question more than another es to which the liberal party were likely to be unanimous, it was the question of university reform. (Cheers.) Lord J. MANNERS made some vehement remarks on the course taken by Mr. Gladstone in temporarily taking the Wednesday leadership from the Home Secretary, in order to make a powerful speech against this bill, and then taking his departure eith an intention not to rote at all. Sir G. GREY said that the Home Secretary had no special commission to lead the house on Wednesdays ; and, as regarded the subjects discussed on those slays, they were of such a character that members of all political opinions differed upon them, and that difference extended to members of governments of both parties. He supported the bill. After observations in reply to the speeches delivered from Sir W. HaATHCOIT and Mr. COLFRInGE, On a division the amendment was negatived-245 to 172. The announcement was received with some cheering. Sir W. HEATHCOTE said that after the majority with which the principle of the clause as it stood had been affirmed, it would be vexatious to put the committee to the trouble of dividing upon his subsequent amendments. (Hear, hear.) The clauses and the preamble were then agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be reported, without amendment, to the house. POOR LAW RELIEF (IRELAND) LAW AMENDMENT Mr. C. BARRY moved the second reading of the Poor law Relief ilvelsnd) Bill, the object of which is to alter the system of rating for the relief of the poor, by substituting assessment by unions for that by electoral districts. He argued at length that the same causes which had operated to induce the adoption of union rating in England ren dered a like step desirable for Ireland, to say nothing of the assimilation of the law between the two countries. Mr. GREGORY moved the rejection of the bill, con tending that the circumstances of the two countries were no different, that it was not politic or expedient to apply the same principle of rating to Ireland se that which pre vailed in England. Lord C. HAMILTON was speaking at a quarter to 6, when the debate was perforce adjourned. The other business was disposed of, and the house ad journed shortly before 6 o'clock. Acre or Psnmsmasrr.—Up to the present time the number of acts of parliament paned in the present session, which oommeneed on the let February, is 131, of which 38 are public and 93 local. Unibenittg iEntelligence. CAMBRIDGE, Jr NE 13. ------ • THE TANCEED CHARITIES.-CILIUS AND CHRIST'S COLLEGES.—The governors of the Tancred charities, at a meeting in London yesterday, elected F. Young (private pupil of Mr. J. H. Smith) to a medical studentship at Cams College ; and H. B. Buckley (scholar of Christ's College) to a law studentship at Linceln's-inn. FRIEND OP THE CLERGY CORPORATION. The sixteenth anniversary festival of this insti tution was held last evening, at Willis's Rooms, St. James, when about two hundred of the nobility, gentry, and clergy sat down to s dinner served a /a Busse, under the,presidency of the Marquis of SALIbBUItY, K.G. The dinner was honoured by the presence of the patron of the society, H.B.H. the Prince of Wales, who was received with great enthusiasm. Among the company present were :—The Archbishops of Canterbury, York, and Armagh ; the Bishops of Ripon, Derry, and Graham's Town ; the Dean of Westminster ; the Duke of St. Albans ; the Earl of Hardwick° ; Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood, arc. On the removal of the cloth, The CHAIRMAN gave the health of the Queen which it is needless to say was drunk with a more than , ordinary display of loyalty. The next toast was that of " Hia Royal Higness the Prince of Wales," which was received with loud cheering. The Prince of Warm on rising was greeted with loud cheering. After returning thanks, he said : Among the many charities which exist in this country, there are very few which demand our attention more than the Corpora tion of the Friends of the Clergy. It is a most benevolent institution, and its object was moat excellent, being for the support of the orplians and unmarried daughters of clergymen of the church of England. (Cheers.) It renders also temporary assistance to necessitous clergymen themselves. We are met here this evening to advocate the cause of this deserving class of persons. I think I may state without exaggeration that at the present moment the pensions distributed amount to the large sum of 4,000/. per annum. (Cheers.) These pensions are mainly distri buted among 106 candidates and there are at the present moment no glees than 60 waiting for the time when they shall become recipients of pension' ; consequently, as you may well imagine, the distribution of the pensions is looked forward to with the greatest hope and anxiety. (Hear, hear.) There is no doubt whatever the:. the pen sions are conferred upon the most deserving cases, and one of the most remarkable features of the institution is that the pensions given by it are limited to 401., and by that means it is enabled to extend its operations to a greater number than it otherwise would be able to relieve, nor does it restrict itself to the church in England, but also affords relief to the widows and orphans and necessitous clergy men of the Irish church, and also of the church in the colonies. (Cheers.) Young though I may be, I think I may state from my own personal knowledge how very low are the stipends of some of our country clergymen. (Haar, hear.) I therefore support most cordially this excellent institution. (Cheers.) I feel some diffidence in stating this, because I feel that I sin taking away from him the duties of our noble chairman. I am, however, sure he will forgive one for saying that on this occasion we ought to show our greatest liberality, and to open our purses freely and widely. (Cheers.) I again thank you for the cor diality with which you have received my name, that of the Princess of Wales, and the rest of the royal family, and I can assure you that they entirely . reciprocate the feelings you have evinced on this occasion, and I thank you in their name very sincerely for the manner in which it was done. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then gave " The health of the Arch bishops. Bishops, and Clergy," which was responded to by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the toast of " Prosperity to the Institution" followed, and was warmly received. The toasts of the " Army, Navy, and Volunteers," fol lowed. and was acknowledged by General Knollys on the part of the army; Captain Fishbourne for the navy, and Mr. Prideaux for the volunteers. Mr. l'ownall then gave the " Houses of Lords and Commons ;" which was acknow ledged by Earl Spencer and Mr. W. Egerton, M.P• The SECRETARY (Mr. H. Braman) then read the list of subscriptions, which amounted in the whole to 1,200/., and stated that the total income of the society from other sources was upwards of 5,0001. The subscription list included subscriptions of 100 guineas from his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and 95 guineas from the chairman, the announcement of which was received with oud cheers. STRANGERS HOME.—The annual meeting of the subscribers and friends of this charity, which has been established for the purpose of affording relief to, and pro viding employment for, necessitous Asiatics, Africans, and South Sea Islanders, was held yesterday afternoon, at Willis's Rooms, under the presidency of Lord 11. Chol- mondeley. ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL, NEW CROSS.—The annual competition in athletic sports, swimming, &c., took place yesterday before a numerous assemblage of visitors, includ ing many ladies. The cricketing field, the centre of which has lately been levelled and returfetl, was picturesquely decorated with flags, &c. The club tent, which was erected in the field, waa also a centre of attraction, as in it were laid out to view the prizes, to the number of :11, consisting of tankards, cups, flasks, footballs, skates, pencil-cases. queue, cricket bate, fishing rods, &c. The preliminary heats having been disposed of in the morning, the interesting competitions of the final heats commenced at 2 p.m., the prizes to the winners being presented by Miss Chambers. Mr. Alfred Eames, the secretary, and Mr. G. F. Hawke, one of the masters, were the judges, and Mr. Hogg, the mathematical master, acted as starter. One of the prizes was presented by Messrs. Laverty and Gsmble, of the University of Oxford, former pupils. The feats throughout were all so closely and spiritedly contested that it would be invidious to particularise any, where all did so well. The scene was agreeably enlivened by the excellent performances of the Greenwich School band. ENCROACHMENT ON FINSBURY PARK.—A public meeting was held last night at Myddelton Hall, Islington, in reference to the threatened encroachment by the Metro- W.itan B. Ma ckey ozie, ard of Work M.A., p s upon the new park. The Rev. resided, and in his opening address alluded to the fact that while the people in the west, east, and south of the metropolis were well off in respect to parks, those in the northern district were with out any. The legislature nine years ago had allotted to them a very small space of ground, but the Board of Works sought still further% lessen its dimensions byerect ing buildings that would interfere with the beauty and utility of the park if ever it was to be obtained. Several resolutionscondemnatory of the proceedings of the board were unanimously adopted, the speahers being Mr. Jacob Vincent, Rev. H. Alton, Mr. W. D. Wadily, barrister, and Mr. Barnett, who had been commissioned by Mr. Alderman Lusk, M.l'., and Mr. Torrens, M.P., to express their sympathy with the objects of the meeting, and their regret at not being able to be present. A deputation was appointed to wait upon the board to express the feelings of the inhabitants of the borough and neighbourhood upon the proposed measure. THE NEW DivoacE Act —Yesterday the new Divorce Act, passed on Monday, was printed. It contains several important provisions. Hitherto the court, on a dissolution of marriage, has been in the practice of ordering a gross or annual payment to be made to a wife ; but it has happened frequently that a husband has had no property on which such an order could be made. The court is now empowered to make an order for monthly or weekly pay ment, and if the husband is unable to continue such pay ment, to discharge or modify the order, or to suspend the same wholly or in part. In certain cases relief may be granted to a respondent as if a petition had been filed seeking such relief. A decree nisi for a dissolution of marriage is not to be absolute for six months, unless a shorter time is specially fixed. The act has immediate operation, and is now in force. CATTLE ASSURANCE.—Yesterday the new act wan issued to give facilities fur cattle assurance under the Friendly Soieties Acts to any amount. All contributions and Rums payable under the act are to be recovered in the county courts. RAILWAY BILLS IN PARLIAMENT. —Yesterday, in the Painted Chamber of the House of Lords, the bill of the Metropolitan Railway (additional powers) was referred, subject to the royal assent to certain amendments. The London and North Western Railway (ne thew)lin ; West Riding and Grimsby Railway (transfer), and Maccles field, Knutsford, and Warrington Railway Bills were ad journed. In the House of Commons committees yester day the new Brighton scheme occupied the attention of the committee the whole day. In Group 14, the clauses were settled in the Midland Railway (branches, &c), and the bill passed. The preamble of the Midland (Ashby and Nunes ton) was declared proved, and that of the London and North Western and Midland Counties Coalfields not to have been proved. The Halesowen and Bromsgrove Branch Railways wee adjourned. In Group 16, the committee de clared the preamble proved in the following cases :—Swan sea and Clydach Railway ; Vale of Llangollen, Llangollen and Corwin, &c., Railway Companies ; and Swansea Vale Railway. The preamble was negatived in the use of the Swansea Union Railway. In Group 17, the Vale of Neath (transfer, &c.) Bill was proceeded with without any deci sion. In Group 16 A, the preamble of the Caledonian Railway (Edinburgh Station), recommitted bill was de clared to have been proved. In the other Scotch Groups the numerous bills were advanced without any results. from London were unusually , that the attendance of the general Public was never larger on the opening day. The headquarters of the racing men were Winchester, Southampton, and Andover, the demand for accom modation at these towns being very great, but the mauves of the natives" were adequate for the large influx of visitors. The Prince of Wales it was imagined would honour Stockbridge .by his presence, and thus increase the prestige of this already aristo cratic meetiug, but his royal highness wee nut present. 'the sport commenced at half-past one with a sweepstakes of 5 son., but Fairitossmond was unopposed. This not very brilliant commencement was compensated for by the Interesting encounter that followed for the Champagne Stakes, wherein Sunnylocks, in a geld of twelve runners, was so strongly fancied on the form she displayed at Ascot, that odds of 11 to lo were eventually freely laid on her, while Jeannie Deans, who was' penalbted for her victory at Odtham, was backed in a few instances at 11 to 2, the only other animals supported being Viridis at 12 to 1, and Stewardess at 100 to 7. Sunnylocks looked all over a winner a quarter of a mile from -home, but Viridis, full of numing, challenged her opposite the Stand, and won by two leugthe ; the outaider • succesa, while being anything but gratifying to the backer' of the favourite, was received with tremendous cheering by the members of the ring. Cicu2un rode the winner with his usual patience and judg ment, and this being the first mount t his popular jockey has had since the severe fall he met with in the race for the Guineas at Hampton last week, be was congratulated on all sides. The only other race that called for any comments was the Eighth Stock bndge Biennial StMies, which brought out sixteen runners ; but eao coutident were the supporters of Hermit that in the face of this uuwerous field they treely laid the odds of 5 to 4 ; the issue was, however, much nearer then the backers of Hermit relished, fur, after appearing beaten, lie came agalutand won by a neck only from Vauban, after a rattling finish.

The deceased opened caw the man she uttered an ex started back, and she then uked after him as far as Walbrook, .1. I cannot speak positively, but . be the man I saw on this coassics. a—The moment she saw the man alarmed, and started back, and the w the man's face, and I should say the prisoner. Catherine . _ awn servant to Mrs. Robbins, who lives next door to Messrs. Bevington's. During the last three months I have frequently seen new;er come to Messrs. Bevington's, and it was gabout 9 o'clock at night when he came. I remember my mistress coming home on the night of the 11th of April about 10 o'clock. The prisoner was taken past our house a few days afterwards , and I recognised fiim as the man I had seen oome out of Messrs. Bevington's house. Cross-examined — I and my mistreas were asked to be at the door by Inspector Foulger to see if we could recognise the prisoner uhe was taken by. My mistress bad as good en opportunity of seeing the prisoner as I had. By the Court—None of the constables were in uniform, and I did not know any of the party excepr Foulger. After they had passed, I asked Mr . Bobbins f she had seen anybody she knew, and she said she had not. She said she was so confused that she did not see anyone. Mrs. Arabella Robbins said—l am housekeeper at No. 1, Cannon-street. The last witness is nii r servant. • I had gone out on the evening of the 11th of • , anl returned home about ten minutes past 10, and as was ringing my bell I heard Messrs. Beeington's door shut violently, and a man came from the door and passed me, and he gave me a look as he passed by. It was a aide look, and it made me notice him. The man passed roe hurriedly, and I noticed that his legs were very thin, and that he had a broad foot. I raw the prisoner first at the Mansion-house after the night of the murder. He was among 14 others, and my attention was not at all particularly directed to him, but I recognised him immedi ately, and said that he was the man I had seen oome from Messrs. Bevington's on the night of the murder. Inspector Foulger had told me on the previous day to be at the door and see if I could recognise anyone I had seen before, but I was so confused that I did not see anyone. Cross-examined—There was nothing to call particular attention to the man. I thought that he was going late from business and wanted • cab. He went towards London -bridge, and not towards St. Paul's. On the day I was told by Inspector Foulger to look out and see if I could recognise anyone who passed I had seen a cab pass very fast, and I thought the prisoner was in it, and I was a good deal confused. My servant asked me if I had seen anyone go by that I knew ; I told her that I could not see anybody. Inspector Foulger came to me afterwards and said that he should like me to come to the Mansion house to see if I could recognise the man I bad seen, and I then pointed out the prisoner. George Terry said—l am at present an inmate of St. Glue's Workhouse, Southwark. I was acquainted with the deceased and her husband formerly for • great many years, and I was instrumental to a Mrs. Webber lending the deceased some money. In the course of last year I became acquainted with the prisoner at a lodging-house in the Borough, but only knew him by the name of " Bill" I told him that the deceased owed me some money, and he said that he would get it, and one day while we were l ut together out to him he wrote a letter to the deceased, and pointed Messrs. Bevington's house, where she lived. The prisoner went to the house, and I waited for him at a neighbouring public-house, and the prisoner joined me and said that he had only got fourteen shillings and that the deceased had borrowed the money from the cook. I afterwards taxed the prisoner with having ob tained 2/. 10s. from the decease d , and he denied it. I never sent the prisoner to make any other application for money to the deceased, and I did not see him again till he was in custody. Cross-examined—l was formerly in the employ of the Messrs. Bevington, but I was not discharged. I cannot swear positively that the transaction I have referred to did not take place on the 10th of January. Mrs, Sarah Webber said—l know Terry and his wift and I gave some money to the latter to be open to Mrs. Milson. It was about 33/., and I was to be paid at the rate of 10s. per week. I never authorised Terry to apply to her for money, and I know nothing about the prisoner. The deceased called upon me some time this year, and said that some man had applied to her for money, and I told her not to give him any. Cross-examined—The deceased said that the man bad only been to her upon two occasions to ask for money. Henry Hunt, a police-constable, deposed that the de ceased showed him the letter and the receipt, and asked his advice what to do, and she appeared very much excited and alarmed. William Giles said—l live at Eton. I know the pri soner, and remember seeing him at Benfield's beer-shop, at Eton, either on the 11th or 12th of April. I asked him to have a game at dominoes, and he said he could not, as he had forty miles to go that night, and he also said that he was going to London. I did not believe what he said, and told him he was a liar, and it was then he said he was going to London. Cross-examined—l thought the prisoner was only " chaffing " when be said he was going to London. I cannot say whether it was on a Wednesday cr a Thursday night. I cannot remember anyone else who was present. I was out of work at the time. Serjeant Ballantine.(to the witness)—What do you live upon now ? Witness—Meat and vegetables. (Laughter.) Serjeant Ballantine—l suppose you mean that as a joke. What I want to know is how you are getting your living. The witness said he was in the employment of a boat builder, and was paid 12s. a week. Henry Blackburn said he was employed at the Eton gas works, and left to light his lamps at seven o'clock on the night of the 11th of April. About half-past seven o'clock L he was in the Slough road, near the Fifteen Arch Bridge, when he saw the prisoner going in the direction of the Slough station. He had a hat on, and was dreamed in dark clothes. Cross-examined—The road where he met the prisoner I led to a great many other places besides Slough. Mr. John Whitehouse, the surveyor of the Slough road, deposed that on the night of the 11th of April, about half past 7 o'clock, he met the prisoner close to Eton College, going in the direction of the Slough railway station. Wit ness was going to attend an amateur theatrical perform ance which commenced at half-past 7 o'clock. Cross-examined—lt might have been • minute or two after the half hour when he met the prisoner. It was at a spat called the Seven Chimneys. William Clark, one of the Bucks constables, deposed that on the night of the 11th of April he met the owner in the High-street, Eton, about a quarter to 12 o'clock. It was about five minutes' walk from the Great Western Railway Station where he saw the prisoner, and be was going towards his own house. Cross-examined—Witness could not speak positively to the time. All he knew was that it was just before he was relieved, and he was relieved at 12 o'clock at night. He would swear that he never said to a person named Hawes, in the presence of his son, that it was a quarter pest 11 when he saw the prisoner. He might have said that it was after 11. The prisoner was once fined for drunkenness and riotous behaviour, and witness was the complainant, and gave evidence ag ainst him. Mr. A. L Falter, superintendent of the City police, said that he had measu red the distance that had been referred to by the witnesses. From Eton-square to the Slough station was one mile seven furlongs and 130 yards ; and from the Fifteen Arch Bridge to the Slough station would be one mile three furlongs and 120 yards. The distance from the spot spoken to by the constable Clark to the Great Western Railway station was 700 yards. Witness had walked the distance in less than five minutes. Cross-examined—No surveyor had been employed to measure the distances. Witness had never done such a thing before. He was aware that it was of vast impor tance that the distances should be correctly measured. He measured the ground with a wheel measure. Baron Bramwell observed to the witness that if he walked seven hundred yards in less than five minutes he must have walked at the rate of between five and miles an hour. The witness said that was so. William Gardner, a guard on the Great Western Rail way, proved that on the night in question • train started from the Slough station at 7.43, and arrived in London at 8.40. William Denny, another guard, proved that he accom panied the 10.49 train from Paddington on the night of the 11th of April, and that the train arrived at Windsor at 11.43. It was only • very short distance from the Pad dington station to the Metropolitan Railway, upon which trains were advertised to run every five minutes. This closed the case for the prosecution. Serjeant Balantine then proceeded to address the jury for the prisoner in a speech of great power and ability. The prisoner was no doubt an idle fellow, but, as he was instructed, and believed, he was entirely innocent of the clime of murder, and he and his learned friend were instructed on the pre sent occasion by persons residing at Eton and the neigh bourhood who were convinced of his innocence, and who were determined that the case should be fully and fairly investigated. In conclusion ' the learned serjeant said he should lay the evidence he had referred to before the jury, and all he should then ask at their hands was justice. There was an attempt at applause when Serjeant Bal- Juane sat down, but it was of course repressed by the officers of the co urt. At this stage of the case the trial was adjourned until this (Thursday) morning, at 10 o'clock, and the jury, as is usual in such cases, were taken to the Lon &n Coffee house in charge of the officers of the sheriff. THE LEEDS BANKING COMPANY FRAUDS. -Mr. Edward Greenland, who managed the Leeds Banking Com pany up to the time of its disastrous stoppage, was on Tues day committed for trial on the charge of making false re turns of the issue of notes. The magistrates agreed to accept bail, but fixed the amount at 10,000/. It was inti mated that an application would be made to a judge in chambers for a reduction of the bail COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAMBS.—Jun MA TRIMONIAL (Before the Lord Chief Justice, the Lord Chief Baron, and the Judge Ordinary.) - RTVIII T. TAX £TTOIXIT4XXIALL. The Attorney-General was proceeding with his address, when The Foreman mid he was commissioned by his fellow. jurors to express their opinion that there would not be the alighted necessity to call evidence to rebut the case of the petitioner ; for in their unanimous view the documents relied upon by her were spurious. The Chief Justice—ln that case you only share the opinion of my learned brethren and myself. We have long felt that every one of these papers is a palpable forgery ; nor is there one pert of the petitioner's case which egrets with the reef The Attorney-General—After that intimation I do not desire to say another word. Dr. &nab— The Attorney-General, then, will c onclude his speech this The Attoniey-General — l have already concluded it. (A laugh.) A Juror—l think it right to add that our opinion was formed on Saturday efts:noon upon an inspection of the document* themselves. The Chief Justice—Of course, when the adept called by the petitioner puts forward as his reason for believing sig natures to be genuine that they are unlike the authentic signatures, and when he admits that the two signatures of Chatham and Dunning are forgeries— Dr. Smith—l did not understand , my lord, that he gave that evidence. The Chief Baron—Why, I took particular pains to ex tract from him a distinct statement that the signatures were not in the genuine handwriting of those whose hand writing they purported to be. Dr. t o—Mr. Netherclift was told not to compare the signatures of Dunning with the body of his holograph atures on one docu will, but simply to compare the sign ments with those on other documents. The Chief Justice—And if he had pronounced them to be genuine he would have disgraced himself. A Juror—We have entirely ex cluded from our judgment the opinion of Mr. Netherolift. We formed our own opinion upon the documents themselves. The Chief Justice—Quite right. The value of an adept is to point out small discrepancies or similarities which might escape the glance ofhaa person not used to compare handwriting ; but when tt is done one man was just as able to judge as another. Dr. Smith—My Lords, I should like to address the jury. The Chief Justice—lf after what the jury have said. you wish to take up their time, you have a right to do so. Dr. Smith accordingly began his speech by rag that when he took up the case he had carefully eed the documents, and he could state upon his honour — The Chief Justice (with warmth)—l must insist upon your stopping there. You are violating a fundamental rule of the profession. No advocate has a right to pledge his own honour to anything in his case. Dr. Smith—l thank your lordship for correcting me. I had no idea of transgressing the rule of the profession ; but this at least I may say, namely, that the eminent ge nealogical counsel (Mr. Nugent Bell) who took up the case in 1821 believed upon his honour that the signatures were genuine. Dr. Smith then addressed the jury at some length,pointing out that the circumstances which had been relied upon as proofs of fraud, namely, the informal and unbusiness-like character of the documents, were really proofs of their genuineness ,• for those were precisely the faults which a forger would have shunned. He submitted that any one who had seen Mrs. Ryves in the box—her age, her manner, her demeanour—would be forced to the conclusion that she was speaking the truth. There was no imputation of insane upon her, and she could not be mistaken as to the Duke of Kent and Lord Warwick corning to her mother's house and opening the packet of documents. Why should the Attorney-Genersl have ob. jected to the admiesion of the affidavits which be (Dr. Smith) had tendered? Was it a fiction that Mrs. Ryves had received 4001. a year from the late Duke of Kent through Coutts's? The Attorney-General—A perfect fiction. Dr. Smith said it bad been argued that if one of the signatures was proved to be a forgery, all were forged ; but he had a right to retort that if one was proved to be genuine, all were genuine ; and Mrs. Ryves had proved the signature of Lord Warwick. The Chief Justice—To which document? • Dr. Smith could not say ; but the petitioner, from her knowledge of Lord Warwick's hand, had proved hiss igna ture ge nerally. He (the learned counsel) begged thjury, before they embodied in a verdict the opinion which they had expressed (and in which he did not agree) to give a little more attention to the case. He asked that not only as a matter of right, but as a matter of charity to his client, who had now for the first time been permitted to give her testimony on oath. Justice and generosity, he was confident, would induce them to do that which was alike their duty and their privilege. The Chief Justice observed that there were one or two of the documents that so outraged all probability, that the jury would hesitate long before they found them to be genuine upon any conceivable evidence of handwriting. Here, for instance, was George 111. lending himself to a fraud, in ordering the baptism of a child by a false name, and as the daughter of a person whose daughter she wasnot. Here was George 111. divesting the crown, in favour of this child, of one of its noblest appanage', the Duchy of Lancaster, which was in fact by statute inalienable ; and doing it, moreover, on a piece of loose paper. Here was a document which it was not competent for his Majesty to execute, and yet it was countersigned by two such men as William Pitt and John Dunning. Lastly, here was George 111., on another scrap of paper, desiring his faithful lords and commons to provide for his niece Olive, Princess of Cumberland, when he should be gone. All these docu ments bore on the face of them such marks of spurious ness as ought to satisfy everybody's mind. dein, could anyone believe in the genuineness of the marriage oerti ficate of George 111. with Hannah Lightfoot, which was also attested by Pitt and Dunning. No doubt they I would not have been brought before the court if Dr. , Smith could have helped it ; but the learned counsel had no choice, for one of his other documents was written on the back of it. The learned judge then proceeded to comment in terms not dissimilar to those employed by the Attorney-General upon the constantly varying claims of Mrs. Serra", till they culminated in a demand to be recognized of legitimate royal descent. In the first in stance that demand bad been accompanied by an attempt to intimidate George IV., by threats of showing that he was not the lawful of the throne ; and this fact proved that the Hannah Lightfoot document could not be separated from the rest. But could any one for a moment believe that two such eminent statesmen as Pitt and Dunning ever set their hands to the extraordinary paper signed " Hannah Regina ?" The thing spoke for itself. Or, again, was it likely that the Duke of Kent would have put his name to a document appointing Olive Serves, a court painter, guardian of his daughter, who it was known would be Queen of England? As to the different sets of documents to which reference had been made by the Attorney-General no human ingenuity could devise a satis factory explanation. It was quite possible that the Duke of Kent might have believed thatthere wasan illegitimate con nexion between Olive Series and his family; and a generous man, thinking that the same blood flowed in her veins and in his own,. might have acted towards her with kindness and compeanon. A mere claim of illegitimate relationship would probably not be very rigidly scrutinised ; and docu inents might as easily have been prepared for the inspe► tion of the Duke of Kent and the Duke of Clarence as of anyone else. But could any one believe that if the papers relating to Hannah Lightfoot had been shown those royal princes they would Lave admitted their genuineness? On the whole it seemed to him (the learned judge) that the main features of the petitioner's case were marked with the moat shocking improbability. The jury at once found for the Attorney-General on the issues which he had raised, and The Court having (on has application) directed the docu. mints to be impounded, formally dismissed the petition.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Juxa 13. (Before Mr. Commissioner Conlimn.) IN RE MATTHEW SHIELD. The bankrupt was a railway contractor, carrying on busi ness at 49, Victoria-street, Westminster. The adjudica tion was made upon the petition of Sir Charles Fox, the eminent engineer, whose claim amounts to 7,1791. for pro- fessional services rendered to the bankrupt. This was the sitting for examination and discharge. The accounts filed in this case disclose the following figures :—Dr. : Amount due to unsecured creditors, 100351. ; to those holding security 23,4611 . 19a. ; liabi lities on bills discounted, 8,000/. ; ditto on account of the firm of Anton and Co., 1,147/. ; ditto on guarantee 4601. ; other liabilities, 289/. ; creditors to be paid in full, 891. ; total, 43,482/. The assets show a surplus upon paper of 7,9291., the property held as security being stated at 22,9001., and good debts 8363/. Mr. Meyrick appeared for the assignees. Mr. Munna on behalf of the assignees of G. F. Grime, a bankrupt, tendered a proof for 2,5901., which, after some discussion, was admitted as a claim. Mr. Meyrick, for the assignees, said he was not instructed to offer any opposition. Mr. Munna asked for further accounts. He said that the bankrupt professed to have a surplus, but there was no foundation whatever for such a statement. This was the bankrupt's second failure. The Commissioner—l am tired of hearing about these so-called surpluses, which generally turn out to be mere surplusage. (A laugh.) I think this is peculiarly a case where the bankrupt should render goo&, cash, and de ficiency accounts, and the sitting willtherefore beadjourned for that purpose.

TOTTENHAM AND HAMPSTEAD JUNCTION RAIL WAY CoMPANY. —A special general meeting of this com pany, convened in pursuance of the Wharncliffe standing order, was held yesterday afternoon at the offices, No. 2, Westminster-chambers, Captain Arrow, the chairman of the board of directors, in the chair, to consider a bill now pending in parliament for authonsing the company to raise further moneys, and for making provision with respect to a lease, sale, or amalgamation of the under taking, and for other purposes. Under their existing acts, which are recited in the bill, the share capital of the company is fixed at 310,0001., with power to borrow on mortgage 103,2001. Authority is also given to the Midland and Great Eastern Companies to subscribe respectively to the extent of one-third of the share capital, and the bill affirms that more than one-half of the capital of the company and °teach of the two companies respectively has been paid up, while 53,3001. has been raised on debentures. The bill confers upon the company powers to raise additional share capital not ex ceeding 700,0001., permitting the Midland and Great Eastern to subscribe a part as before, if they so think fit. A further sum, not exceeding 33,3331., may also be bor rowed on mortgage, and authority is taken to sell or transfer the undertaking, either before or after comple tion, or any part thereof, upon such terms as may be agreed upon, to the Midland and Great Eastern Com panies jointly. On the motion of the chairman, seconded by Mr. Reed, the usual formal resolution was passed ap proving the bill, and the proceedings terminated. NORTH WESTERN AND CHARING-CROSS RAILWAY COMPANY.—A Wbarncliffe meeting of this com pany was held yesterday, at the offices, No. 7, West minster-chambers, Mr. J. P, Westhead, M.P., in the chair, to consider the bill now pending in parliament for autho rising arrangements between the company and the London and North Western and the South Eastern Companies. On the motion of the chairman, however, it was agreed to defer the consideration of the measure until the 22nd inst., by which time it would have received the assent of the South Eastern Company. It has already been approved by the London and North Western Company. FIRE AND LOSS of LIFE AT HULL. —A melan choly occurrence is reported from Hull.

Finding, apparently, that it was impossible to escape by the stairs, Mr. Robinson ap pearedat one of the upper windows with his little boy in ims. They seem to have been the only inmates of the house at the time. Hull does not possess a fire-escape, and a ladder which was placed against the burning pre mises proved useless. Robinson then rushed from the front to the rear of the building, and when the place was afterwards searched, it was discovered that the poor fellow and his child had perished.
