It appeared from the endow that three only of the children were sow is the custody of the father the other twe were allowed to remain with the mo ther, on unseat of their Under me. The eldest IM these three was Us years of age. The most wasterial question to be considered was that eeperding the eldest, who wee a girl. She bad been taken from the custody of her mother by the order of the VieseChancellor, and wee now residing with her father. Since the case was sorted before the Vies-Chamelice numb farther evidence hat been 'pro dated, end he felt =tan that if this evidence bad been Wore the Vionatiateslke, be would base Goss to a dif ferent conclusiou: as it was the eau was pethely new. He would abstain as meth eiposdble from making observa tions upon the private history of Mr. Warde, but it was impotdble to avoid seeing that his conduct towards women in the ne:ghbouthood of his residence was quite notorious; and at this very moment there was strong evidence to lead to the belief that an improper intercourse was carried on by him with a person now reading in his house sa hie house keeper, who was the only female companion of his daughter. Mr. Warde's own evidence about this woman was that he had hired her at Brighton in the capacity of house maid, and that he had afterwards promoted her to the duties of cook, and this person it appeared was the only attendant upon the Tsang lady, and paused her life in company with the family. It was stated in one of the affidavits that it was a common practice for Mt. Wattle, hie daughter, and this women to walk about the grounds together, and all of them with • agar in their mouths; and it wee also stated that the young lady had • store of dears for her own use; the habit of smoking wee at all times bad enough, but nothing could be more disgusting than that a young lady in her situation of life should he in duced to pursue inch conduct lie thought it evident that this woman was not residing in the house merely in the capacity of housekeeper or cook, and that she was not a fit companion for a young lady. Then as to the education of this child, it was stated that several masters had been engaged to teach her various accomplishments, but there was so allegation that her education in a moral or religions point of view had been in the least attended to. There had been evidence on the other hand that Mr. Warde had used °meths expressions showing that he was not of • religions character,- it was true that these expres sions bad been denied by Mr. Ward*, but whether the exact words attributed to him had been actually used or not, all that Mr. Wards contented himself by doing was simply to deny the expressions, but there was nothing to show that the evidence might not be substantially correct, and his lordship was much more inclined to believe the statements of the wife and her brother than those of the husband. Under these circumstances, there being the fullest evidence of grossly im moral conduct on the part of the husband, and strong reason to suspect an improper intercourse still existing between him and this woman, who was the only person to sue the daugh ter say religious or moral feelings, he considered that he was bound to prevent such • state of things from continuing any longer, and be should therefore make en order that the eldest child should be given up by Mr. Warde to the cus tody of his wife. The only question that remained was as to the other children, thorned. children, and his opinion wu that it was at all times wrocg to separate children so that some of them might reside with the husband and some with the wife. If they could not have the benefit arising front the care of both pimento, it was bathe that they should not be brought up in such a manner that half of them would side with the father, and half with the mother ; this would con duce more than anything to separate the children from one another in feeling, therefore without saying whether *he evidence as to the conduct of the husbaud was sufficieet to induce him to say that he was not • fit person to have the custody of his sea, he should extend the order to ell the children, and direct that they should be given up to Mrs. Wards, or to some persona appointed by her upon service of this order. The precedent which he fol lowed in this ease, was the order made in the use " Shelley v. Westbroithe" (1 Jacob, 266), or in the later cue of " Wellesley v. the Deke of Beaufort" (2 Russell, p. 43). There was in that case every sort of profli gacy of conduct—even profaneness. It in removing the son from the father be was infringing his common law right, the decision was subject to reversal upon a writ of habeas cor pus ; but it would he competent to his lordship (as we under stood him to say) to accompany his order with an injuno tion to restrain the father from suing out that writ. The order would be that all the children be removed from the father to the mother. Mr. Stuart (the counsel for Mrs. Warde) asked for such en order as was made in " Shelley v. Weetbrocke," and that Mr. Warde should pay all the rests. The Lord Chancellor.—Let them be costa in the cause. Mr. Reit (with Mr. Stuart, as was also Mr. Diikiumn) raid Mrs. Warde was not a party to the cause. The children are the plaintiffs in the cause by their next friend. The bill was filed at the instance of Mr. Wards against himself, in order to make them wards of court, and to lay a foundation for his application to the Vice-Chancellor to have the children deli vered up to him, which was done by the Vice-Chancellor's order. Mrs. Warde then petitioned to have that order reve s n rr i Lard Chancellor.—You cannot have the video( dischargiag that order which was in Mr. Warde's favour. Mr. Stuart. —We take the order for removing the children, and leave the costs to be spoken to afterwards. The Lord Chancellor i There mutt be security for the proper maintenance of the children. Mr. Stuart.—Yes ; Mrs. Warde's brother will join her in that security to the court. She has now 1,2001. • year for her alimony from Mr. Warde, by order of the ecclestastical court. Now that she will have to maintain and educate all the children, she will have to apply to the same comet for an increased allowance. Davis O. KINGSPORD.—The counsel in this appeal, already reported in this journal, said they were not able to bring the parties to an arrangement, and the probability was that they would have to ask for his lordship's judgm tit (which was postponed to wive them en opportunity to come to an amicable settlement). FTSON v. Pots.—Mr. Wood said that Fyson, the appel lant in this case, which was opened en Fliday, died last night, so that the further hearing must stand over till the Bait is revived. HENDEKSON V. BASON.—A discussion took place between the court and counsel in this case as to how best the opinion of a common law court could be taken (besides the Queen's Ben. l's ' already taken), and it stood over (or consideration.

An order, as so far prayed, was granted forthwith by the Lord Chancellor, but final judg ment was reserved till this day. The other petition was one 1 also presented by Mrs. Wards in November last, and it was, at the request of both parties, heard by his lordship in his private room. That petition, as appeared irom wha: Aas afterward* stated in open court, was by way of appeal from an order of the Vice-Chancellor of England, by which t Jet three eldest children (there are five altogether, and the eldest b under 11 years of age) were given up to Mr. Wards. They had, before that order, been residing with Mrs. Warde, who had obtained in the ecclesiastical court a sentence of separation from Mr. Wards, on account of his conduct, with 1,2001. a year for alimony. Immediately after that sentence was pronounced Mr. %Verde got a bill to be filed in the name of the children against himself, and having thereby, and by payment of some money into court Mae the Vlce.thancelkw ef England. for the benefit of the children, made them wards MOWATT V.

Tea MURDER NEAR Exzwea.—On Fridai, the magistrates heard further evidence against James Maack and Jena Mills, the two men apprehended on suspicion of having murdered Hrs. Holman, at Tedburn St. Mary". The particulars connected with this case appeared is this journal at the time. The chief evidence against the prisoners was that given by their accomplice, a person nicknamed Cockney Harry. He stated that he sees engaged by Landriek and Mills on the night the murder was committed; and at nine o'clock they all left Moretoa, and arrived at Westwater, in Tedburn St. Mary, at half-past eleven, when Landiek en tered the house of the deceased by means of a prop found in the orchard . He then admitted the others. They black ened their faces at the foot of the stairs. They tatend the deceased's bedroom, and were there some time before she awoke and bocams conscious of their presence. The witness further stated that Mills held the deceased down in the bed while Landiek rifled her boxes and drawers of their contents, and that the latter ultimately threw a heavy box of clothes on her body, exclaiming, " That will stop the old woman from howling ;" They shared the money of which they plundered the deceased.—The prisoners were fully cow mitt el for trial. trTLTSIIIRE. FATAL FIRE AT Cotten/alt.—Afire which destroyed a large amount of property, and, what is of far more cones , - queues, the life of the owner, occurred at Coral's on Wed nesday. At about five o'clock in the morning of that day, the premises of Mr. Spielman, wise castled on a large business in the tows, were found to be on lire, and the neighbours were first apprised of their danger b, the cries of Mr. Speckman himself, who ran out of the house and gave the atom.

The premises were, however, by this time in flumes, and the ant atunate man, in striving to escape, was suffocated in the passage. The fire now raged with fury, and many people were afraid to approach the burning sus kola the dread of the gin powder which was known to be kept under the roof; this was sox reached by the fire, and exploded, the report being hi and for many mi'es. The destruction of the house was new complete; nothing but the tare walls being left stand ing. When the quantity of water poured on the ruins had in some measure cooled them, the body of Mr. Sparkman was brought out from the midst, in a dresdfally burned state. The adjoining premises occupied by the Misses Shed end Burman were considerably damaged. Not a particle of Mr. Speckman's stock, which is estimated to have been worth upwards of 4,0001., was saved. An inquiet has been held en the body, and a verdict returned, " That the deo used died fram suffocation 'timing from the smoke of an accidental fire on his premises." IRELAND. DUBLIN. JAN. 20. Oar Irish life is fall of incidents, often of a ro mantic character.

The Lord Lieutenant received a deputation yester day on the subject of the Cnife-street Savings Bank. He promised to pay every attention to the interests of the cuff-ring depositors. Sir William Somerville, the chief secretary, goes over to London to-day, on business of pressing im portance. THE GREAT PRISONS OF LONDON. MILLUANK. Mil'bank prison in the largest penal establishment in England. It is so extensive that the outlines of the structure may be traced upon any well-drawn plan of Lon. doe. In fors, it consists of six pentsgonal buildings, Bur ros .ding an open courts ard —the whole enclosed by a lofty wall at octagon shape. Tree situation is not goad. being on a low marshy ground. almost close upon the river bank, near Vauxhall bridge. Although, as yet, the neigithourho xi is open—the unhealthiness of the site probably operating to pre vent rapid occupation of the environ —end the circulation of We unimpeded by mama of houses, the rata of mortality is esmnionly very high in Milbank prison. Of late years it has improved to this respect. The disking and 'enfilades me now most complete. But all that It knee can suggest and medical skill can administer are inadequate to make it a healthy prison. Here the cholera lint appears—hecce, ere bar, it will depart the lest. And this in spite of are aid Mfeatlon, regular diet I t zeelleut in quality and sufficient in quantity), admirable cleanliness, and order. Millbeak has suffered more than one transformation Wales tae brief history. At first it was built, at esoreerom net, es a penitentiary house—a modification of Jeremy Ben tham's celebrated plan of prison-arrangement, called by its eraceiver a'' panoptkon." Afterwards it was changed into a regular government prison tor criminals—adult and ju venile. It is now the general depot for transports. Juvenile convicts are, however, sent to Parkhurst, in the tale of Wight, whither we may perhaps ask the reader to accom pany us by-and-bye, on a visit of inspection. Imprisonment at Millbank is, consequently, only temporary. The institu tion has no permanent instates. In this respect it differs from almost every other great criminal establishment, and the circumstance, es every one conversant with the prac tical working of the gaol system is well aware, very much emptiest"' the management. The usual pe riod of confinement is from two to three months, a length of time not sufficient ti get the convicts into thorough drill, accustomed to the still life of the gad, and used to the habit of obedience. Hither the very lowest, most reckless, most hardened criminals are sent from all parts of the country men sentenced to forced expatriation, COL out by the land which gave them birth. Within these walls the amount of criminality is fearful to contemplate. Every per. son hem has been found guilty of a Anion offence, and few of them for the first time. Transportation is seldom awarded sow for a virgin crime. Ninety in the hundred at least have gone through a regular course of violence, ranging in the moral gamut from the simple theft—the first fatal set which Wants for ever the keen edge of honour—to bungler,. and I murder. To the men here, nothing in the way of guilt is impossible: their lives have been a SIM defiance of conscience, morel law, and legal Many of them have been criminals by compulsion— gilt" overwhelming power and force of circumstance ; some bay been such from choice—having entered on their career with lbeeMegehts and after calculation of the perils and the a Miens life.

The remainder ere expatriated directly. The population of the institution is always numerous and always changing ; but its character is the same. It is the very erns of the criminal copulation of this country. The condemned cells in Newgate could alone furnish 'podiums of Satanic villany equal to these. No one will, therefore, consider its menace meat as an trey matter. From the constitution of Its powers, Millbank is far less under the con trol of press sad parliament—far boa accessible to in field:el of public opinion—than any other prism in Eng laud. The public have no right to enter it ; neither have the magistrates. It is entirely under the rule of the govern ment; the Home Secretary appoints three inspection, who have, subject to his approval, its entire management, toroth'', with the exclusive right of making a report. Now this we adder to be wholly injadidose—therein agreeing with the commissioners, who recently met to inquire into certain Onuses alleged to have been committed in the management of Millbank. No other gaol is allowed to be ma naged and inspected by the same persons. There am, of entree, very strong reasons for keeping the establishment nadir the immediate control of the executive; but regular and rigid inspection is also atoolutely necessary to its well. working And in order that this inspection may be tho roughly impartial and independent—for unless so it is worse then heeler--the premien body should be totally distinct from the body of inspeetors. The present concentration of tenacious renders the ietrodaetioa of abases easy: the chari ness with which metes to the prison is greeted to the public renders their detection difficult. The somber of prisoners at present confined in Millbank— peppering for the hulks, for Pentonville, or for the celeake—is about 1,660. In the course of the year, from 4,000 to 6,000 pee through the prison.

The same great families who now divide the representation between AN LNCENDIABY SHOT BY A YOUNG FEMALE, On Wednesday evening a fanner is respectable circum stances, Mr. Orr Id`Veseb, residing at Ballylenaphan, three miles and a half from Itilfast, hid men, about 8 o'clock, two men, respectably dressed, in a field adjoining his stack-yar:„. His two daughters, Grace and Morgans; were with him ; these three individuals, with a servant, comprising the whole et the family. The eldest girl, Grace, at once challenged the men, .. k ing them what they were doing there. One of the men replied " we are watchmen, and are going in the di• notion of Keockbracken ; you may go to bed, and feel quite safe, for we will keep watch for you.' Suspecting the inten tions of the men, the family did not go to bed,:but continued watching until midnight, when the father went M bed, leaving his daughters, who had armed themselves wet, to watch the premises. About one o'clock the girls distinctly heard the sound of a jaunting-car, stepping nearly oppLsite the house, which is distant about 15 perches from the road side. At once the two females prepared to face the danger, whatever it might be, and concealed themselves out side the house. In the course of a few minutes they heard • number of persons speaking together in an adjoining field. Breathless with att, ration and anxiety, they listened to the conversation, and, suddenly, they heard a cry from the party of Watch! watch! David Cachet wood's and David Musgrove's stacks are in flames!" Miss M'Vesgh suspected this to be a ruse its with draw then trom their watch, or to ascertain whether any watch was really being kept ; so the two girls uttered is word, nor stirred a step from the spot where they stood concealed. Two of the party then approached the stack-yard. Ore very large stack of hay was so close to the ditch which divided the yard from the field, that it could be set on fire will by a party standing in the latter, without cro'sing over into the sta e la yard. The fellow who was fore most then took out a match-box and proceeded to strike a light, but be did not succeed. He next tried another, but with no better success ; and lastly proceeded to strike a number of matches at once. All them movements were distinctly visible to the two girls from the place of their concealment ; and just as the ruffian was about to apply a light he had at lest succeeded in striking to the haystack, Grace M'Veagh ex claimed aloud, " What is this ? What are you doing ?" The !know made no reply, but drew back. Miss M'Vesgh cried out, Stand !" and immediately fired with the musket with which she was provided, and which was double charged with swan crops, slugs, and small pebbles. The man in stantly fell back without uttering a groan. His comrade, who had left the rest of the party with him to fire the stack, then rushed forward, crying, If the devil himself was there 1 would set it on fire I" As he came over towards the stack Margaret M'Veagh met him lull in front, armed with an old yeomanry bayonet fastened at the end of a pole, and made several thrusts at his face, wounding him severely. Ho, too, fell back. The rest of the party, seven in number, then made a rush towards the young women, who still bravely stood their pound, and one of the mis creants discharged • pistol at Miss M'Veagh, just as, sus. peeling his intention, she had drawn herself within the tem porary cover which she had used for the purpose of keeping watch, but she was so near the shot, notwithstanding, that one of her bands boo deeply marked with the stain of the powder that she ha. nice been unable to wash it out. The party then raised »' their fallen comrades,one of whom mast have been killed by the discharge of MisaM'Veagh's musket, Ingsing the latter to a heap of stones, which lay a few yards distant. Meanwhile, Miss M'Veagh , who still kept her po. skims, cried out, " Stand, or I will tire again, I have a brace at pistols." Hearing this the entire party fled from the field, leavi g the dead or dying man behind them on a heap of KAN. At length, dreading the return of the ruffians, Ike two valiant girls, half tainting with fatigue and excite. want, returned to the house to rouse their father, who was still asleep. Oa getting up and teaming the circumstances, Mr. M•Veagh sent a messenger to inform the police at New townbredis; and Constable Boyd, who was only jut re turned from patrolling the neighbourhood of Drumbo, at onto turned out his party and proceeded to the scene. Before tne arrival of the police, however, Mr. 111•Vesgh sad 1101113 of his neighbours, who had mumbled at the pleat, found a military sort of cap on the spot where the man whom his daughter shot had fallen. It was perfectly riddled with slugs and pebbles, sad the inside was saturated with blood. Along with the cap was also found a quantity of lucifer matches, newly invented " fire lights," and • razor in a new cue. Before, however, Mr. M'Veagh, or any of his family had gone out of the house • second time, the incen diaries had contrived to remove the body of their esseelete. Traces of blood were observed from the steelyard to deem* side, and where they had rested the body previous to it on the car which had been waiting, and had cos away the whole party (as wee evident from no marks befog seen beyond that spot), large pools of gore wen discovered, On kis arrival at the place, Constable Boyd at once dis patched a messenger to Belfast to inform the constabulary there, and the local p dice, of the occurrence; sad having reported to the stipendiary magistrate, that gentleman at tended at Mr. M'Veag h's nous.
