Keating, and Brett.) T.PYTNIVI r. ORENNIIOOII.- THE PIDIUTNINI SCANDAL. This was an action by Mr. Edmunds, the late elork of the patents, to recover damages for alleged libel a con tained in three official report made by Menem. Hind march and tirvenweod to the Commissioners of Pelotas, sod in a letter addressed to Lord Chancellor Westbury. Some days ago, Mr. I). Seymour, Q.C., on behalf of the plaintiff. moved fur leave exhibit certain interrogatorie-s to the defendant, and to-day the court gave judgineut e'en this application. The Loid Chief Justice said, that the object of the interrogatories was to show that the defendant had exceeded the authority given to him is making the reports, and had circulated them to persons to whom no privilege applied, and further to show that he had acted twin malicious motives. In other words, the object war, that the defendant, if ho answered the' questions in the affirmative, should criminate himself and render himself subject to criminal proceedings. In applies Lions got this kind, the court had always exercised discretion in reference to the particular ease, and in manj eases questions had been allowed which tended to crimi nate the parties questioned. But in " Tupling e. Ward," 611. and 'N.. an action for libel, the Court of 11:chequer re fused to allow the defendant to be asked questions to prove du. authorship and publication; and the Court of Com econ Fleas, m " Sten) r . Sevastopulo," 4 C. 11. new series, acted on the s: • principle. In the present case the court did not tied that there were any such special circumstances as would take it out of the . pnuc plc acted upon in the case of Tunling r. aril and Stone r. Sevastopulo. The case hall been before Mr. Baron Mattin at chambers, and they wet. , asked to ray that the judge had exercised his discretion improperly, eoLot far from that they thought that he bad acted very poverty in raying that the interrogatories ought not to be allowed. The application, therefore, must be rowed. Application refused. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Mom the Judge Ordinary.) DAVITS r. mem% CLZEZ.. Dr. Spints, Q.C., and Dr. Middleton, for the petitioner; Mr. Katie for the respondent. The petitioner was the wife of (ho Ilev. B. B. Davies. She was married to him at Bristol, in Ifitil, and she cohabited with him at various places in Lancashire and Yorkshire. till August, when she quitted him. She alleged that his conduct had from the first been hor-h and unkind, and she specifically charged him with giving her a black eye, and with several other acts of violence. Besides which she said he had threatened her with a bill-hook. Mrs. Davis herself was the chief witness to make out her case. She was • person of education. but Rave her evidence in • rather eccentric manner. When asked whether sbe was really alarmed at the hill-book, she raid that she thought her own thoughts, that she had stated the fact., and that the court mu't draw its own conclusions from them. When Sir James Wilde primed her on the ?Will she replied, '• You are • judge, judge for _yourself.' At a later part of her cross-examination, Sir James put the question once more. Witness—Can you make me answer you, judge% Sir James—No. _ _ Witnow—Then drop it. (Laughter.) Matilda Hemmingway, a eervant, gars strongly confir matory evidence. Once he throttled her till the blood came out of her care. _ [The case was proceeding when our report left.] POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE.

The robbery was observed by a Felice-officer, who followed the prisoner and took him intocustody. His lodgings were searched, and copies of "Jack Sheppard, "The Highwayman," and similar publi cations were there found by the of fi cer. Detective Hancock raid he had the prisoner in custody in the beginning of the year for stealing la from his em ployer, and he was on that occasion sentenced to six mouths' imprisonment. At that time there were other charges against him.

George Thompson, 33, no settled home, labourer, was dinged before Mr. d'Eyucourt with breaking a pane of glaas of the value of 71., in the window of Mr. Campbell, watchmaker and jeweller, No. 40, Tottenham-court-road, with intention to commit a felony Mr. Frederick Frtnch, assistant to Mr. Campbell, said that hearing a smash at his employer'• house yesterday, be went out and found that the prisoner, who was in cus tody of a constable, had sinadied a pane of glass of the value of 71. by kicking it.

The cabman said that eta quarter to 4 on the afternoon of Monday. November 9, he was first cab on the rank at Vauxhall Station, and the defendant hailed him and ordered him to Tattersall's; there he waited a little time and then was driven to 4.i, Sloane-street, then to 18, Down-street, Piccadilly, and back to Sloane-street, where the defendant gave him ls. 6d. ; his fare was 2s. Calouel M'Dougal, on his oath said he could produce evidence to show that lie was at Tattersall's all that after noon and never near Vauxhall station ; he only took the man from Tattersall's, and he gave him le. Gd., which was Gd. more than his fare. The man said his fare was 25., and offered no explanation about his being engaged at Vaux hall, but merely asked fur the name and address. It was the cabman's mistake, yet he was willing to pay for it ; but, if he persisted in his statement about Vauxhall station, he should not pay the costs. 'the cabman persisted he was not mistaken, if that was not the gentleman he never saw one in his life. Mr. Stile said it was absurd to suppose that for the sake Gd., a gentleman would tell so paltry a lie. The Colonel applied for an adjournment to produce witnesses as to his being at Tattersall's. Mr. Fyffe said he should not adjourn it: the complain ant was evidently inist.lken, and be should dismiss the summons. tabby persisted he was the gentleman, and Col. If •Dougal saki, after that assertion, he would not recompense Lim for his lost time, which ho intended doing. BROTHER lONATIES.—Brother Ignatius has ad dressed a letter to the merchants, bankers, and others of Lombard-street, in which he denies the accusation that Ten has 'milked them by his preaching at St. Edmunds, and formally delivers to them his prophetic message. Reda claret, that he is a true member of the church of England, in which he wishes to live and die, and that that church is not protestant, and does not call herself so, but catholic, it.: defends his practice in adhering to the very plain and meagre eervice at St. Edmund's when it is well known he prefers a ritual and ceremonial adorn ment, by his desire not to offend anyone. Further, he says that although his friends have been assaulted, and ime a clergyman, was laid up from injuries he received in I.i , mhaza-i•tieet, he will uut be bullUsl out of his cons victions.—ba/h/ New., t51.711.3DE IN TUN SERPLNTINIL.—Last evening Mr. St. Clare Bedford, the eoronor for Westminster in vridigated the circumstances relating to the discovery of tie dead body of a man found in the Serpentine on Tues day morning last.

Amongst these are the bondholders of the Sardinian Loan of 18.31, the Cavour Canal bondholders, the Maremmana Railway bondholders, and the Sardinian Railway shareholders. It is certainly discreditable to the Italian government that so many distinct interests should consider themselves aggrieved by its pro ceedings, while, at the same tune, the fresh proof given to-day by the Stuck Exchange Committees that they arc prepared to give a fair hearing to any reasonable complaints against foreign govern ments is calculated to encourage uU classes of bondholders. The joint traffic return of the Caledonian and North British Railways shows thiv week an in crease of 2,8361. over last year. Messrs. Archibald Stewart and Charles Lyne, the Committee of Creditors of the London, Bbui buy, and Mediterranean Bank (Limited, have issued a report to the creditors, whereine refer to the compromise " some time since agreed upon and confirmed by the Court of Chancery, in respect of the numerous complications which ex isted between the Continental Bank Corporation, the London and Mediterranean Bank, and the London, Bombay, and Mediterranean Bank, thus terminating the litigation which would otherwise lime ensued." They remark that " the three bank. are now, in effect, save as to the important question of expense, being wound up on the basis of one liquidation, although still under separate liquidators." They also say "out of the sum in band, with the addition of the dividend received from the London and Mediterranean Bank, the liquidators propose to pay the first dividend of :Is. in the pound before the close of the year." A call upon the contributories is neoessar7, but cannot be made until the end of February next. This report alleges that the whole uncalled liability of W. per share will be required. Reference is then made to some additional complications m connection with the " Indian Peninsula, London and China Bank," and with other parties, which threaten almost endless legal proceedings, end the report concludes as follows:—"The official liquidators inform as that the objects for which we were appointed, with the sanction of the court, having been axons plished, our functions are now at an end." A private telegram, dated New York Thursday, mentions that Mr. Gould, the president of the Erie Railway Company, and who was lately ap pointed receiver, has been authorised by the Court of Chancery to buy for the company 20,000,000 dole. of stook. In proof of the speculative excite ment still prevailing there, it is mentioned that the price of the shares had been 60 and 42 on the same day. The stock referred to is presumed to be the over-issues made by the late board, the fact being that the company has very large funds in hand. The gambling movements in this stock are, however, so incessant and diversified that all accounts from the other nide must be received with some degree of reserve. Following the circular addressed on Thursday by the directors of the Canal Cavour Company to the bondholdt re, we are requested by the chairman of the " Italian Irrigation Bondholders' Protection Association," of 110, Cannon-street, to publish the following, which was posted last night to the members of that body : A circular, dated 19th last, havinf been Wawa by the secretary to the Italian Irrigation Lompany, viddrossixt to the English bondholder., submitting a copy of a proposal concordat for extricating the company out of bankrupty, inviting the bondholders to attend a meeting on the inst., and requesting those who may not be able to attsal the meeting to sign au anent to the proposed concordat, this come Woe earnestly recommends the English bond holders not to sign any form of anent to the proposed concordat submitted by the company, IV. they bays good ground for believing that the claims of the bondholders will be settled on more favourable terms by the isrp^ctive agents of the two committees (sitting in Suffolk-place and bele). Messrs. Koch and Creswell, who are now in Flo rence negotiating with the Italian government. This committee would, however, add that the agents of the nos sp etive committees will be the proper persons to 'Tress sent the bondholders at the meeting of creditors called for the '..th prezimo in Turin, and to rote upon the cone alat. At a nesting of the creditors of Mr. F. W. 'Hancock, underwriter and insurance broker, of Lloyd's, who recently bailed, the liabilities ware stated at 20,3001., and the assets at 6,300!., in chiding a disputd amount of 4,000!. A com mitt( e was appointed to investigate the estate. %e observe that notice has been given of a divi dend iu the estate of Messrs. Palmer and Co., Bast India merchants, who suspended payment in 1864 ; and that all claims are to be sent in to the accountants, Messrs. James, Edwards, and Cash, before the 31st January.

Throughout the week the Standard has continued to assert, in the teeth of facts and figures, the triumph of its party. Some of our contemporaries call it unscrupu lous, but they are unjust. It does but obey the kindly, if somewhat lax, rule, "Dc onorticia nil nisi knee." Spectator. " L.U)V ELTZABETTI."—The turf " prophets," who said that the circumstances aUmding the matching of The Earl and the running of Lady Elisabeth would never be submitted to a jury, are likely to prove right. In the spurting notes of to-day s Lam' and Water we read that "the action Day r. Rous will not be brought into court, as the plaintiff. out of respect to the late Marquis of Hastings, is not willing to take up certain past events in ooanexion with the miter tenets cue." seeing that the questionable proceedings concerning The Earl and Lady Elisabeth took place when those animals wer no longer the property of the deceased marquis, it would seem that other considestione must have combined with respect for that nobleman's memory to determine Mr. Da] a resolution. What does Mr. I'ailwick say r THE LATE MARQUIS OF tIASTIN. 03.—Bdra Life states that by his will the Marquis of Hastings left all his oiling property, his house in Cirosvenor-equare, Craven lodge at Melton Mowbray, and all his plate, jewellery, and furniture of every description to be converted into inueey, and the proceeds to be invested for the benefit of the marchioness for her life; but in case she should marry again, then to bu divided between the children of his enter. Lady Marshani. The Earl, wo understand, is likely to be disposed of by private contract. The remainder of his horses will shortly go to the hammer at Tattersall's. The settlement of the marchioness. which amounts to 2,0001. per annum, is secured on the Rowell= estate. MORE FoROLIIIRS ON THE BANK OF RUSSIA.— At Lemberg the police have just arrested 14 persons charged with forging notes of the Bank of Russia. For a long time past numbers of these, of the value of 100 roubles (Hr. each), have been in circulation, and two detectives, Russian and French, have been occupied in tracing the source from which they emanated. At I.ast the persons engaged in their production and distribution have bete discovered and taken into custody. Atuougst the prisoners are some men holding positions far above suspicion hitherto, such as a landowner, a watchmaker in a large way of business, and several Jewish merchants. The Times of India, of 31 et October, says the epidemic which first made its appearance among the horses of the cavalry and artillery at Secunderabad, has travelled steadily westward, and is now playing havoc among the horses at Poona and Kirke°.
