Dia LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 19. • THE Conference may now meet as soon as it pleases. Marshal WRANGEL has at length a good butcher's bill to send to Berlin, and may bind his hoary brows with fresh laurels. The assault on Duppel has been delivered with the foreseen and inevitable result. The defenders, outnumbered by five to one, have succumbed to the fortune of war. In the estimation of the King of Parana this is a " glorious victory," and be celebrates it in a strain of piety which it is difficult to distinguish from blasphemy. The Prussians have now only to take Alien to make themselves masters of the whole of Sleswig. The material guarantee which the Ger man Powers sought will then be in their hands : though whether it will avail to secure them anything which they might not have had without it is more than ever doubtful. Since they insolently invaded Denmark, trampling down every kind of right, the special political circum stances on which they relied for superiority have tended to disappear. The mission of the Earl of CLARENDON to Paris will enable England and France to appear at the Conference united to op pose the ambitions pretensions indulged at Berlin and acquiesced in at Vienna. Whoever may pro fit by their agreement, the militaif insolence of the Prussian Court will receive a check. SiNeE the H use of Commons is become the paramount estate of the realm, it is seldom that it cares to examine very strictly the conditions of its authority. It holds the pursestrings of thenation, it calls the administrators of its property to account, it reverberates every passing jealousy, or im patience, or anxiety of public opinion ; it dis misses servants of the Crown who have ceased to possess its confidence ; it corrects, if it does not control, the entire domestic, foreign, and colonial policy of the realm. Under these easy circumstances few independent members on either side of the house are accustomed to watch very closely the rigorous observance of con stitutional formalities. So it has come to pass that under Lord PaLmessros's administration five instead of four Under-Secretaries of State have been allowed of late to sit in the House of Commons. For this grave delinquency the Government pleads in advertence, and the Opposition, having only just discovered the illegality, can hardly plead any better justification of its own laches. However, in moving a resolution to the effect that the law has been violated in this particular, Mr. DISRAELI unquestionably discharges • serious public duty, and as the leader of • Conservative Opposition vindicates the importance and usefulness of his office. There are very few modern legislators who have taste, or inclination, or knowledge enough to test the tenure of the rights which their Parliamentary ancestors bequeathed to them. Members who represent interests and swallow some political creed whole, have neither leisure nor capacity for antiquarian researches into the history of parliamentary prerogative. It is, therefore, to one or two professional poli ticians and statesmen that the safety of the con stitutional ark must be confided in these days. Mr. DI,RAELI deserves the thanks of the country for recalling Parliament to a sense of its dignity, and expoundingthe forgotten rationale of its power. The fashion in these later days has been to treat Par liament as a legislative and talking machine, rather than as a national organism, with laws of its own vitality and growth. Lord PALMERSTON, in replying to Mr. DISRAELI, notices with complacency u an evidence of the development of parliamentary power in this country, that whereas a hundred years ago there was a jealousy of more than • limited number of persons holding high office under the Crown sitting in the House of Commons, that jealousy is now reversed ; and it is expected that the principal office holders under the Crown shall be present in the Lower House to answer directly for their policy and acts to the representatives of the people. Such is the intent and purpose of the Act which limits the number of Under-Secretaries of State in the House of Commons ; and such is the law for the violation of which a Bill of Indemnity is now proposed. Lord PALMERSTON pleasantly rejects the responsibility of this infringement of the law upon the lack of vigilance in the Oppo sition ; but his acceptable apology consists in the casualties which have befallen his administration within the last three years. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT was raised to the House of Lords in the vain hope that lighter Parliamentary labours might preserve his life. Lord JoHN Ituassu. received the fitting recompense of his long services by elevation to the peerage. Sir Gaoaon Lawn died, and his Under Secretary, who had also served his appren ticeship under Lord Efrain:kr, was appointed his successor, in the interest, as it was considered, of the public service. It was through these casualties and consequent changes, Lord Psusitasrosreminds the House, that the present Government, which began with ten Cabinet Ministers, out of fifteen, in the House of Commons, has " unintentionally and by oversight " come to com mit a misdemeanour in exceeding by one the number of Under Secretaries allowed by the Act to sit in the House of Commons. This constitutional irregularity Is now to be oorrectedby the appointment of the Under Secretary for the Home Department to the office which Mr. Lows has resigned, and by the resignation of the Under Secretary for the Colonies. The House will doubtless good-naturedly grant the Bill of Indemnity which the Pima's solicits ; but it will not the less concur with the country in thanking Mr. DienAtim for insisting on the importance to the full and satisfactory work ing of our Parliamentary system of the responsible chiefs of the principal Departments of State being present to answer for the policy and acts of their administration to the House of Commons. THE EXPIMSS, TUESDAY .iiENING,. APRIL 19, 1864. LA.TIST INTELLIGENCE.. The fluctuations were very great, and the highest pries; of the day were not sustained. Rente, after touching 88fr. 50., closed at 87fr. 40c. for cash, and 137 fr. 56c. for amount, with a rise of 800. and 460. Mobilise oscllL►ted between the extreme points of 1,332 fr. and 1,290 fr., closing at the latter figure, which is, however, 46fr. higher than the last pries of Saturday. The movement has now reached railway shares, most of which were fully sfr. higher, and Lyons rose 10fr. Lord Clarendon left for London at 7 this morn ing. Yesterday he dined with M. Drouyn de Lhuys at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ; Lord Cowley, MarshalCanrobert and Madame Canrobert, Count Walewaki and Countess Walewaki, Count de Bourqueney, Marshal Santa Cruz, General Fros ard, and the Mexican au d Peruvian ministers were invited to meet him. The Pipit of Cherbourg says that the iron-clad fleet will pay a visit to the coast of England in the early part of May. IL Thulilier, the Councillor of State, who in the debate on the address suddenly took a first-rate position as a government orator, and who has since been frequently spoken of as likely to be a minister, is now suffering from a tumour in the shoulder, which, it is raid, will necessitate a dangerous operation. The funeral of M. Launette, an upholsterer of the Faubourg St. Antoine, well known as a politician, was attended yesterday by nearly 3,000 persons, including most of the opposition members of the Corps Legialatif. The police gave notice that no speech over the grave would be permitted. The Duke of Bratant, travelling incog., has arrived at the Grand HoteL Preparations are making at the same hotel for the reception of the Japanese Ambassadors. GARIBALDI'S SECOND VISIT TO THE CRYSTAL PALACE. The malt remarkal)le fact connected with Gari baldi's second visit to the Crystal Palace was that, although taking place under acombination of circum stances, every one of which was more favourable to a great gathering of the public than those which attended the first visit, the attendance was certainly not more numerous. Yesterday was Monday, it was a shilling day, and the weather was most pro pitious, and yet at no period of the day did the numbers present reach 25,000, and down to a rather late period of the morning the bustle and excitement were not greater than on many ordinary occasions. The following is the list of deputations, each of which had the honour of presenting an address, and as they were thirty-four in number, and as each deputation consisted of six persons, it will be seen that the General had in the course of an hour to submit to two hundred and four shakes of the hand, some of them, it must be added, more remarkable for their vigour than their respect or delicate consideration. One or two foreigners actually made speeches, holding Garibaldi's hand all the while, and working it up and down like a pump-handle, in order to give greater emphasis to their observations. The deputations were : The Mayor and Ccrporatioo of Dover ; the Mayor and Corporation of Woolwich ; Public Meeting at Norfolk ; Public Meeting at Marylebone ; Pidgin Meeting at South wark ; Public Meeting at Brichton ; Friends of Father land ; Rorwood Working Men Institute ; St. Margaret's (Brighton), Working Men's Club ; Working Men's Club (Hastings) ; Working Men of Brentford; Wattles Men of Brighton ; Brighton Young Men's Christian Association ; Maidstooe Reform Association ; Streatham Temperance Society ; Poplar Ratepayers' Association ; Clapham Tem perance Societies ; Central Horticultural Society ; Maryle bone Vestry ; Shoreditch Working Men's Association ; Local Orange Institution ; London Unity of Oddfellows ; Welsh Coogregotional Dissenters; Universal League; T. W. Cove, Collegiate School; London Mechanics' Institute; the Memphis Lodge of Freemasons—Grand Orient lodge; Garibaldi Italian Unity Committee ; Garibaldi Reception and Testimonial; Horton Friends of Italian Liberty; French Residents in London ; Pole. Resident in London ; Swiss Residents in London ; nest the Garibaldi Volunteers. Tho Lambeth deputation was headed by Mr. Doulton, the borough member, and the Brighton by Mr. White, M.P., and there was some little dis pute as to precedence between the leviathan of Surrey and the fashionable watering place, which resulted in Brighton taking the lead. Mr. Moore, the lately elected member for Brighton, was to have accompanied Mr. White, but he made a mistake as to the trysting place, and was, we believe, occupied in admiring the relievi in the Assyrian Court at the very moment when his more fortunate colleague was preseuting, the address. The deputations, which consisted mainly of working men, or local bodies recruited from the industrial classes, looked exceedingly well, and must have given the General a very favourable impression as to the respectability of the operatives of this country. The Ceutral Horticultural So ciety was appropriately preceded by two children, • boy and a girl, the former dressed iu the fatuous red shirt and the latter wearing the Italian colones, and each presenting to the General a basket con taining the first fruits of the sessou. Garibaldi, who seems to have an extraordinary love fo: children, raised the girl and kissed her affection ately, then giving the boy a tine manly shake of the hand, which the little fellow received with great fervour and an evident sense of his masculine dignity. To the deputation of French residents in London Garibaldi paid marked attention, saying, "Tell your countrymen in France that I heartily thank them for the sympathy which, through you, they have shown for Maly." The coming forward of the Poles with their address, and their banner draped with crape, was the signal for the most animated scene of the whole day's proceedings. I Tim moment the crowd below ascertained who they I were the cheering became deafening, and was sus. tained for several miuutes. The whole of the com pany in the galleries and Handel Orchestra, which by this time was quite full, stood up, and the care ' menial had to wait until the public bad completed their demonstration. At last Garibaldi came for ward to the edgo of the platform, waved his hand, and in this way obtained silence iu a moment. He then stretched forth both hands, and slowly but distinctly said—" I implore you, great and generous English nation, abandon not Poland." The words being caught up by the persons nearest the platform were circulated , with a rapidity which the telegraph could not equal, and the cheering was renewed with a vivacity and fervour which we have never seen equalled in a public meeting. Full of his idea, Garibaldi the next moment, in receiving the Swiss, again said— " Anil you too, men of Helvetia, do you not aban don Poland," an appeal which was received with immense enthusiasm by the persons to whom it was immediately addressed, as well as by everyone who was within earshot. To the Garibaldian volun teers, headed by Captain Styles, he said—" lam proud to meet again my old brethren in arms," and to the other foreign deputations be conversed more at length in their own language. Finally, two little girls, one the daughter of Mr. Chinnery, of the Manor-house, Dulwich, and the other of Dr. Falding, of Rotherham College. presented flowers, and were received by Garibaldi with his usual kindness. The addresses, 34 in number, are, of course, quite beyond the capacity of a newspaper, and therefore we must content ourselves with say ing of them generally that they all expressed the highest admiration and respect for Garibaldi, and the warmest sympathy with the cause of Italian unity. The address of the "Bible stand" was accompanied by the present of • Bible, which Gari baldi received with warm thanks, and held in his band, instead of passing it over to his secretary, as in the cane of the addressee. The ceremonial of the day was now over, and CE:4nlio were made for an adjournment to the s , from whence Garibaldi was to witness the play of the grand fountains. A low carriage was brought to the foot of the staircase, and the General rose from his chair, and having once more minted the people, and having again been received with a universal burst of cheering, prepared to descend. In the first instance he went over to the Duchess of Sutherland and the ladies who accom panied her,bowing and shaking hands with them all round, and then stepped into the carriage. A general rush was then made to follow it, and it required all the exertions of Superintendents Walker and Payne, and a strong body of their men, to prevent the little carriage and its precious ' freight from being overwhelmed. A short pause took place in the committee room, and Garibaldi took a alight refreshment, after which, with much diffieulte, way was made for him to the balcony. The pushing, driving, and excitement were tre mendous, and the patience of the police was sorely tried, but "the force," consisting of strong detach ments of the A's and P's, succeeded is keeping the ground clear, and after &stormy passage, landed the General safe in the balcony. At this time the weather was beautiful, the sun bright, the sky blue, and the great fountains dashing up their spray and making rainbows in every direction. The whole of the grand terrace was densely crowded, Garibaldian flags fluttered in every direction, and the band played the hymn which, next to the National Anthem, is now the best known one in England. Garibaldi expressed his aimiration very warmly both to the Dualisms of 1 Sutherland who stood beside him, and his Italian friends who remained a little behind. The people below sent up huzzahs without intermission, and one shout greater than all that went before when Garibaldi made his final bow and retired from the platform. His return journey through the palace was beset again by the people, and this evidence of his popularity continued without inter mission until at last he ascended his carriage and drove off to town. A great many visitors called upon Garibaldi yesterday morning up to 10 o'clock, shortly after which the General left in the Duke of Sutherland's carriage, se companied by Mr. Carl Blind, to pay visits. The geoeral drove first to the residence of Mr. Carl Blind, in Townshend-road, St. John's-wood, where be paid his re spects to Mrs. Carl Blind, and the members of her family. Thence he proceeded to call on M. Ledru Rollin, in St. John's-wood-park, and subsequently upon M. Louis Blanc, In Melina-terrace, io the same neighbourhood, with both of whom he had short interviews. On leaving Louis Blanc, Garibaldi returned direct to Stafford-house. At half-past 12 o'clock the general left Stafford-house for the Crystal Palace. kie rode in Mr. Seely's carriage, and was accompanied by that ' gentleman, by Riociotti, his youngest eon, and Mr. Negretti. The Duke of Sutherland's open blanche and four followed, conveying the Duchess Dowager of Sutherland, the Duchess of Sutherland, Lord John Hay, and General Ebur. Two open phaetons and pairs followed, in which rode Menotti, Garibaldi, Colonel Chambers, and the members of the general's suite. Garibaldi took occasion, while en route to the Palace, to pay • visit to Mr. Arthur Anderson, chair man of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com pany, at his residence, the Grove, near Norwood. The probability of this visit having got noised abroad • great number of spectators had assembled on the upper part of Streatham-common and about the entrance to Mr. Anderson'■ grounds, by whom the General was most enthusiastically cheered. On arriving at the Grove, Garibaldi was welcomed by Mr. Anderson and • select party of his private friends, among whom were Mr. Allen, managing director, and Mr. Howell, secretary of the Peninsular and Oriental Company ; Mr. Thome' Hill, of Southampton ; Mr. Meetly, and the mem bers of Mr. Anderson's family. The general, with his son Ricciotti, blr. Seely, M.P., and Mr. Negretti, having alighted, partook of luncheon with Mr. Anderson, to whom Garibaldi expressed his sense of the courteous liberality extended to him by the Peninsularand Oriental Com pug. Mr- Anderson assured the general that the company were very glad.to have been able to place at Iris disposal she accommo dation afforded by the Ripon. After the exchange of other friendly courtesies Garibaldi re-entered his carriage and left for the Crystal Palace, cheered as upon his arrival. The general returned front the palace to the residence of Mr. Seely, M.P., at Prince's-gate, whose guest he will re main for the next few days. At hall-past seven o'clock in the evening the General left Mr. Seely's residence to dine with the Marquis and If noblesse's of Clanricarde in Stratton-street. Garibaldi, who was accompanied by his two son, Menotti and Rioeiotti Garibaldi, arrived punctually at eight o'clock, and was received by the Marchioness of Clanricarde in the library, where the fol lowing distinguished company invited to meet the General had already assembled :—The Doke of Wellington, the Earl Grey, the Earl of Malmeabury, the Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury, the Countess of Cork, Viscount Stratford de Radcliffe, Viscount and Viscountess Sydney, LoriLElcho, M.P., Sir Robert Peel, M.P., the Lord Mayor, Hoe. Arthur Kienaird, M.P., the Right Hon. James White side, M.P., and Mr. Cowbell, M.P. Dinner was served at half-past 8 o'clock. The Idarchionen of Claoricarde con ducted Garibaldi to a seat no her right hand, the Countess of Cork sitting on the General's left. The Marquis of Clan ricarde led the Countess of Shaftesbury to her seat. Later in the evening the Marching/. of Clanricarde received • select circle of the aristocracy, invited to meet Coastal Garibaldi. Garibaldi retired shortly after 11 o'clock, conducted to his carriage by the Marquis of Clanricarde. LAW INTELLIGENCE. (Tins DAY.)

The address of German residents in London will be presented to Garibaldi to-day at Mr. Seely 's house. Mr. Overend, QAI, - Mid in this case a rale had been obtained against tJolonel Johnson, which he could not resist, hut be wished to say a few words in explanation of Colonel Johnson's conduct. It appeared that a pwaon named DookereU, a bookseller, resided at Durham, and in October last Colonel Johnson was called upon by the parish authorities to protect Mrs. Docketedl from the Tic,. limos of her husband. Re founds great crowd collected round the house, and at the suggestion of the parish officer, he signed the order for sending Mr. Dockerell to a lunatic asylum. It was an important feature in the cue that Mr. Dockerell had been confined twice before in a lunatic asy. loin—owe in March, 1862, and the second time it August, 1862, which fact was known to Colonel Johnson, and further that Mr. Dookeren peculiar insanity was an at. tempt to destroy himself and wife. Colonel Johnson finding a large crowd around the house, he, at the suggestion of the parish officers, unfortunately made an order for sending Mr. Deana to a lunatic asylum without actually seeing him, which was clearly illegal, as the act required, and the order declared on the fam of it, that it was made on personal examination of the lunatic. The order further stated that Mr. Dockerell was a pauper, which was alaoa mistake. Colonel Johnson's excuse was that he signed the order ander the pressure of circumstance, and without malice, and he was desirous of making every reasonable compensation. The rule will therefore be made absolute, without oppo sition, when the ease comas regularly before the court. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

Mr. M. Smith, Q.C., and Mr. Turner appeared for the plaintiff ; Pod Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Archibald for the defendant. It was stated that the parties had been formerly on very friendly terms, and were in the habit of sporting together • snot that about three years ago the plaintiff purchased of the defendant the gun in question for 201.. sod also • dog named " Bang?' On the 28th January last the gun wanted clean. fag, and the plaintiff directed • boy to take it to Mr. Holland, the gunmaker in Bond-street ; but the boy forgot where he was to go, and seeing Mr. Ar nold's name upon the gun be took it to big rooms. The nest day the boy was sent to say that he had made • mistake, end to ask for the gun back, and Mr. Arnold sent the boy to the stationer's to get an advertisement which he had sent for insertion in the Tines. The advertisement was in these terms:—" Mr. James Arnold begs to thank Richard Tinyford Kiog for sending the old goo, which was safely delive re d at No. 118, New B ond-street, on the 28th instant; but Mr. Arnold thinks that this kind action of Mr. King is hardly completed without ' Nag.'"

The plaintiff was called in support of this statement. Mr. Justice Wffliams said there seemed to be no dispute as to who was entitled to the gun, and the only question was the teoltaiad one, whether there had been • conversion. It was • wretched quarrel about nothing. It was going to law for the benefit of the lawyers. It appears that the plaintiff was the tenant of the de fendant, who had sued for repairs, that this action had been referred to arbitration, but that neither party would Lk* up the award. The jury having enswered some questions pat by his lordship, • verdict was entered for the plaintiff ; but leave was reserved to the defendant to move the fall court for leave to enter • verdict for himself, if there was no 'videos, for the jury of conversion. --- ilisa --- hkrrarr's TEEArsz ConcnaT Roox.—An amateur wooed will take plies toileoevow at this theatre.

General Garibaldi, it is thought, will go to Corn wall on Friday next to visit Colonel Peard, " Garibaldi's Englishman ;" and, after staying with him for two days, will sail from Plymouth on Monday for Caprera in the Duke of Sutherland's yacht. Dr. Fergusson has addressed the following letter to Mr. Seely, M.P. : 16, Ge;l;ga-street, Hanover-square, April 17, 1864. - . . My dear Mr. Seely,-1 ass by the papas that Um general is engaging himself in all directions.

DEATH OF THIS BISHOP or PETERBOROUGH. -- The Bishop of Peterborough died yesterday afternoon, be tween three and four o'clock. The last hours of the vener able prelate were peaceable in the extreme. He was wracked by no violent pains, but died quietly and almost without a straggle. Though the illness which proved fatal to the bishop was somewhat sudden, his great age (eighty four) and his increasing infirmities bad prepared the public mind for his decease. George Darya, Bishop of Peterborough, graduated at Christ's College, Cambridge, 1803, teeth wrangler, and became a fellow. He subsequently became curate of Littlebury, and in 1814 of Cbeaterford ; this latter curacy he held until Dr. Blondleld, the late Bishop of London, was presented to that brio& when Mr. Darya be came curate of Swan= Prior ; he afterwards removed to Kensington, and was appointed tutor to the Princes Vic toria. Re was advanced to the see of Peterborough in IR9. In theology the deceased prelate belonged to the evangelical section of the church. He took so menu part, however, in theological coutroversv, and was liberal towards all re ligions creeds. Of late years his lordship seldom occupied his seat in the Hoene of Lords. Throughout his dicers the late bishop was universally loved and remeeted, and his less will be deeply regretted. - - - PERSIAN STUDENTS IN ENOLAND.—Five yz e wl ia Persn gentlemen have arrived io England to be ed c at the expense of their own government. under the care of his Excellency Mahruoud Khso, the Ponies' Minister in this country. INSURRECTION IN ALGERIA. "Advice' from Algeria," says the Constitutionnel, "contain accounts of events which have occurred in the circle of Geryville, in the division of Oran. Si-Seliman, bach-aga of Geryville, left the settle ment of Ouled-Sidi-Cheik a month back with 300 horsemen, and has since been attempting to incite to rebellion the tribes under his religious direction. Si-Lila, aga of Ouargla, his uncle, has joined him, and the French military authorities were obliged to take measures to put an end to this agitation. Col. Beanpriftee, commander of the circle of Tiaret, re ceived orders to proceed to Djebel-Amour with a body of 100 infantry and a squadron of Spabis ; these troops were attacked on the Bth April, at 4 o'clock in the morning, by a oonsiderable num ber of Arabs ; two officers of Spahis (Captain Thibaut and Lieutenant Perrin) were killed, and Colonel Beaupretre, who was wounded by the first fire of the enemy, is missing. The prudence andl military experience of this officer are so well known that the catastrophe which befell him can only be attributed to treason. The young marabout Si-Seliman, the instigator of the revolt, was killed. Sufficient forces have been sent to the south of Geryville to re-establish order ; there is every reason to hope that this agitation, which has been excited by religious fanaticism, will find no imitators." More recent intelligence states that Colonel Beaupritre died of hie wounds, and that Captain Isnard, the head of the Arab bureau of Tirret, was killed. Si-Seliman, the leader of the insurrection, fell in the action ; his younger brother, Si-Mo hamed, was at Bou Alem, a village twenty leagues from Geryville, at the head of a band of insurgents.

VIENNA, Ana, 18. The Emperor of Austria has adjourned the in ternational exhibition, which was to have taken place in 1866 at Vienna. The reasons given for this step are--firstly, because the political state of affairs in every quarter has prevented industrial, development ; secondly, because Austria is in a transitory state as regards her general commercial policy, and in her position towards the Zollverein ; and, lastly, on account of the international exhi bition in Paris, which is to be held about tLe same time.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom oca oww coawiepowimr.) PARIS. MONDAY EVII7ING. The expression in the Emperor's letter to M. Fould, that " the hopes of peace become every day more certain," is accepted as certain confirmation that Lord Clarendon's mission has succeeded. The Nation goes so far as to say that the iefinitive bases of a convention between France and Erg lard were settled the day before yesterday between Lord Clarendon and M. Drouyn de Lhuys. It is said to be agreed that the two powers will not only propose, but, if necessary, impose, au armistice at the very beginning of the conference ; and that if the treaties of 1851-2 should be found inapplic. able, the duchies will be consulted, and will vote by their states. It is further re ported that the conference will be gradu ally expanded into a congress, which will embrace the question of Poland and that of the Danubian Principalities ; and that, as a pledge of mutual confidence, the two powers will simulta neously make considerable reductions in their naval and military budgets. The Nation gets this news from London, and, though giving it under all re serve, affirms that it comes from a source worthy of confidence. The Preue of Vienna speaks very much to the same effect, and says particularly that as a compen sation for the sacrifice of amour propre which France made in renouncing the idea of a congress of sovereigns in Paris, pnt fcrth in the imperial speech of Nov. 5, one of the concessions to be mode by England is that the Loudon conference shall after a time be prorogued, and re-assemble in Paris in the form of a congress. The effect of the Emperor's letter on the Bourse was tremendous. Such a crowd assembled as has not been seen for many months. As soon as the bell rang the Rente and Mobilier went up wildly. The effect of sales to realise profits was almost in stantaneously effaced by new buyers. The money article of the Prase says :—" Confidence has re turned. The future, which but a week ago appeared so dark and menacing, is now considered as assured. A new era of peace, tranquillity, and industry dawns upon us. It is not wonder ful that the Bourse should be excited by such a radical change in the situation." COURT OF EXCHEQUER. WARP to %MO. —(Before Lotd Child Baron Pollock, and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Pigott.) =WALL V. GLAM. • • ' This was an action for the infringement of a patent for an apparatus used iu laying down submarine electric cables for telephie purposes, and afters trial at Westminster before the Lord Chief Baron, which lasted several days, the jury toned a verdict substantially for the plaintiff. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., on the part of the defendant, now moved for • new trial, o• the ground that the verdict was against the evidence, and also oo several other grouods. At the trial the learned judge directed a verdict to be entered for the defendant on some of the issues. The patent was for a mode of stowing oe hoard a vessel an electric cable so as to doable it to be paid out without kinking or getting into knots, and the apparatus consisted simple of a owe composed of spare mood which the cable was coiled. The Lord Chief Baron said it was • patent for the nee In • particular way of things which were to be found on board of every vessel. The patentee did not propose to make the CCM or the coil, but asked for • royalty or tax from all peruse who adopted his particular arrangement. If so (tbe Lord Chief Boron) owned that in his opinion a man could not have by la. a patent for • thing he did not make. The plaintiff really said, " You shall not time your own materials in • particular way for letting out a cable, unless you pay me • royalty," but that was a new mode of axing the British public to which they would be very great imemies. The court granted • rule SW. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Ow Jodp Ordinary.) This was the first day of the ratline of the court dariag the present term. The probate list contains twenty-three came, eight of which are entered for juries. There are 102 owes in the matrimoeisl anew list ; of theme tweet? are set down for trial either by wociol or comma' juries. Besides these sixteen cases stand over by comsat of parties or otbererie•. .11IPTILPTS V. .1161 , 11.178 AND SWIM -.TUDGMECT.. Thel edge Ordinary said that this rose was tried before the mart without • jury, and the adultery was moved, but as the petitioner left his wife some time previously, the court naturally required explanation of his conduct, and for that purpose it availed itself of the power greeted by the 4:ird section of the act, and examined the petitioner himself. It appeared from his statement that he was a butler in the service of a lady who wee for a long time resident at Brighton, but that he was able to visit his wife frequently and on many occasions to paws the night in her lodgings. In that way they co habited together from 1814 to 1854, when he left hie wife altogether, but continued to provide for her support. About four years ago according to his account, bat much loop" according to the statement of the wife, he discon tinued the provision. From February, 1853. to the end of 1854, the petitimier sod hie wife lived in Carlisle-street, and the co-respondent, Smith. a bricklayer, lodged in the mass house. At the end of the latter year or the begineieg of 1855 the petitioner gave up his house, end ors the wife's removal Smith followed her. It was this cir carestaece which first caused the petitioner to 'mina any impropriety between them, but though it was ddßoult to assign the period when the first act of adultery was committed, ft appeared that when his suspicion wee well founded he had deserted his wife for some time. The question thee arose whether at that time the petitioner bad any good cause for withdrawing him self from his wife's society, and exposing her to tilottiou• •Plest which his presence and protection would have hem a safeguard. Some letters had been ad duced in evidence from the petitioner to his wife ; but, though they contained expressions of disapprobation of her coached ie other mopeds, Smith's same was not used, nor was adultery as mesh es mentioned. He (the learned judge) was compelled to emelude that his wife's intimacy with Smith was not the true ground of the petitioner's with drawal from her, and he was usable to draw the M. formes that such intimacy then existed. This rir eurestance was fatal to the prayer of the petitioner. Chastity was the duty of a wife, but protection was no Ism that ell the hothead. Tits wife was entitled to the 'upper" sad preteetion of the hostauid, so far as his youlion and avocations would permit, and whoever neglected to provide that was, if not the author of his own injuries and misfor tune, not wholly blameless ; and though it did not justify his wife be so far forfeited his right to a divorce. The wife would thereto(' be dismissed from the suit. INNIMIMMIIMMINimmommommiI
