Dranta. ST. JAMFITS. NC ' nil Id t - 4.`,1 II 951 101 4 106; 171 Is; Ole : xd - 3 1-16 A very alight two-act piece —a mere dramatic omelette wallet—adapted from a comedy by M. Barden called Le N9cl, which was fi rst acted at the Theatre De.. jazet, in 1614, was produced at this house on Saturday night, under the title of A Rapid Thaw, the adapter being Mr. T. W. Robertson. Le Di , like too many modern French comedies, has a flavour in it which cannot be transferred to the English stage, and the purifying process only leaves tasteless characters and incidents—leather, and not venison. Mr. Robertson probably adapted this drama in his Darid Garrick days, when he was distrustful of his powers of invention, or else in one of those lazy moods to which all authors are subject at times, and under the influence of which they are more prone to "fudge " than to write. The piece is very brilliantly placed upon the stage—the period illus trated being the age of Louis X V.—the characters arc all connected with the court, and the hero, Hector de Bassompierre, is a woman hater until he falls in love. Miss Herbert represents Hector, a part originally per. formed by Dejazet, and the rest of the parts are distri buted amongst Mr. and Mrs. Frank Matthews, Mr. Gaston Murray, Mr. Henry Irving, Miss Bufton, Min Carlotta Addison, and Miss Ada Cavendish. They all did their best with very poor materials, but hardly succeeded in making the comedy a Niece's. Miss Herbert appeared to be suffering from weakness, as her voice was very. indistinct. The house was crowded. STRAND. Mr. H. J. Byron's auccesaf ul burlesque, Esmeralda, was revived at this house on Saturday night. tato Intelligence.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. mA HUB 2. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) MAXWELL r. MAXWELL AND WESTCAEL-ISORMOUB DAMAGES In this case, on Saturday, Sir J. P. Wilde (who spoke with much apparent emotion) said that this was indeed a miserable case—a case that made one doubt how far the establishment of the court had proved a blessing or otherwise. Here was • young man married to a young woman of the same age in 1861, and living with her upon terms of affection and re prtl, which, according to the description of the wit nesses, could rarely have been surpassed ; and yet at the beginning of 1866, hardly three years after the beginning of their wedded life, they separated, driven from one another's society, the co-respondent taking the place of the husband, the home broken up, the happiness of the man gone, and the affection which had formerly subsisted between the parties, so far as the wife was con cerned, destroyed. When this court was estab lished there was a great difference of opinion as to the benefits likely to be derived from it. Some of the best and wisest men in the kingdom doubted whether it would do any good at all ; and there certainly were cases which inclined one to think one way, and others the other. What were they to ray to • case like this ? Suppose there was no divorce, would it be right that this woman should remain tied to a husband towards whom she had so greedy violated her duty! Again, sup paw there was a divorce, the court had to deal with three persons, one utterly innocent, two guilty, though one was probably more guilty than the other. Where fell the blow ? Why the innocent party suffered most, for upon Lim the burden was cast of beginning life afresh. Of the guiltythe less culpablewiui probablythe wounin,and she would suffer next in degree, for wherever modest people congregated her name would probably never again be heard. The most guilty, the man, without the inter vention of the law, would suffer nothing. Again, if the law was to be useful at all, it must be deterrent, and one of the functions of the court, though an indirect one, was so to act in dealing with cases of this kind that it might be • terror to wrong-doers. But how was it to pre. vent the indulgence of unlawful passions if, while affect ing to release a husband who had been wronged, it really allowed •paramour to snatch his wife from his arms? It appeared to him that it was only through the medium of the damages which the jury inflicted that they could hope to place any restraint upon those whom higher motives could not sway. The learned judge then went through the evidence, and ex pressed his opinion that while on the one hand the peti tioner was free from any imputation of carelessness, indifference to his wife, or impropriety of any kind, the co-respondent on the other had omitted scarcely any thing that could aggravate his misconduct. The jury, without a moment's hesitation, found a verdict for the full amount claimed (10,0001.), a result which was received by a crowded court with loud applause. The Judge Ordinary then made a decree nisi with costs. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRClllT.—Hzierrosp, MARCH 2. (Before Lord Chief Justice &Mil and a Special Jury.) PRIOR r. THE YORIEHHIRE CONSERVATIVE NEWSPAPER COMPANY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a gentle man well known upon the turf, to recover damages from the defendants, the proprietors of the Yorkshire Peg and Leeds liaeffioeneer, for having published a false and de famatory libel concerning him in that journal. The defendants pleaded, generally, not guilty. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Gates appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Patchett, for the defendants. Serjeant Parry, in opening the ease to the jury, said that the action was brought against the defendants for a very serious libel inserted in their newspaper respecting the plaintiff. Mr.Pryor was a gentleman of coneiderablefortune, which he inherited from an uncle, who was formerly one of the well-known firm of Truman, Hanbury, and Co., and resided at Digawell-house, Welwyn, in this county. He had always been fond of field sports, and about five years ago he purchased a stud of race horses, and entered into turf pursuits with a true sporting spirit, and with the determination to carry on his operations with honour and in a thoroughly straightforward manner. It ap peared that in the month of June, 1865, he purchased at the sale of Mr. Blenkiron's stock at Eltham a bay yearling colt, which had since been named The Rake, and which was considered by those acquainted with such matter+ to be likely to win the approaching Derby, and it was with respect to this horse that the present action had arisen. The plaintiff gave 450 guineas for the colt, rind be was considered so promising an animal that he was at once entered for the Derby and St. Leger, and several other races. He bad only made two public performances, the first, as a two year old. in March, 1806, when he won the Althorp Park Stakes at Northampton, and the second, in the same year, at Newmarket, in October, when he won the Middle Park Plate, and it was in reference to his winning of this race that the libel complained of was published. When the jury had heard the nature of that libel he was quite sure they would feel that it was one of • very serious character, and he might state that every opportunity had been afforded to the defendants of justifying it if they had been in a position to do so, but they had failed to put any plea of justification upon the record, and there was no doubt they felt that it was im possible for them to do so. The libel was contained in an anonymous communication, at least one that was merely signed " Observer," which extended to consi derable length, and which after a good deal of turf gossip proceeded to refer to the plaintiff's horse The Rake, and to the circumstances under which he was re presented to have won the Middle Park Plate. It commenced by stating, "The manner in which The Rake was worked before he ran for the Middle Park Plate has given rise to more dissatisfaction and strong lan guage than any event that has taken place at Newmarket since the unfortunate Tarragona affair." The jury would no doubt remember the circumstances connected with the matter hero referred to, and that an inquiry took place before the Jockey Club into the conduct of two officers who were undoubtedly charged with having acted in the most dishonourable manner, if not, indeed, with deliberate fraud, and the jury would see that the public were led to infer from this statement that the proceedings that had taken place with reference to The Rake ware even worse than those connected with the Tarragona affair. The learned serjeant then proceeded to reed the remainder of the article complained of, and which was to the effect that • " flash " trial of The Rake had been got up,nt which Mr. Matthew Dawson, the trainer for the Duke of Newcastle. had been specially invited to be present, and that he war deceived as to the weights that were carried by the horses in the trial, and was in- duced, consequently, to come to the conclusion that The Hake was only a moderate animal, and to report to that effect to the Duke of Newcastle and others, who were by this means induced to bet against hint. The re sult of this contrivance was that the plaintiff, the owner of The Rake, was enabled to get in an immense amount of money at long odds, and a great many persons, among whom was Sir Frederick Johnstone, who had a commission to bet upon The Middle Park Plate, and who had betted heavily upon the Rake for the Derby, were prevented from hedging any of their money, and the article concluded by representing that after the race had been won, it was admitte,l to Mr. Matthew Dawaon that the pretended trial hail only been got up for the purpoite of " throwing dust in his eyes." He said lie should be able to show that, with the exception of the fact that • trial really tiok place a few days before the Middle Park race was run every one of the pretended circum stances narrated in this statement was false, and that there was not the slightest ground for charging the plain tiff with the dishonourable conduct referred to. The fact was that on the Saturday before the race Mr. Joseph Daemon, the trainer for Mr. Pryor, suggested that there should bea trial of The Rake, in orderto test his capabilities and ascertain what chance he had of winning the race, and it was unnecessary for him to inform the jury that this was not only • very necessary, hut a perfectly ordi nary proceeding with every gentleman who kept race horses, and who desired to discover whether it was of any use to run a horse for • particular race. The Rake, when the trial took place, was pitted against two aged horses, named Troublesome and The Novice, and • two-year old horse called Fripounier. The two aged horses, as was expvted, beet The Rake, but be best Friponnier,carrying Nat. 71h., The latter only carrying fist., and the trial was a perfectly fair one, and took place on the open heath, and although Mr. Matthew Dawson might have been present, he was certainly not invited, and every one of the statements concerning him was false in every particular. The learned serjeant then observed that he was sure the jury would feel the very serious nature of , the libel, and ho observed that if the statements contained • in it had had any foundation in truth, the consequences must necessarily have been that the plaintiff would have been shunned by every honourable member of the turf, and he would have been warned off every race-course where the Jockey Club had any authority. His only ob ject, therefore, in bringing the present action was to vin dicate his character, and his object would be partly at tained by his making the present public statement, and he hoped his lordship would permit Mr. Pryor to get into the witness-box, and state publicly and upon his oath that the calumnious statements contained in the article complained of were entirely false and destitute of all foundation. He would not say a word in reference to the effect the statements he had referred to were likely to have upon The Rake, who, lie hoped, might still win the Derby, but so far as Mr. Pryor and his friends were con cerned he hoped the object they desired to obtain of placing Mr. Pryor before the world in his proper posi tion as a man of honour and a gentleman would be effected by the present proceedings. Mr. Pryor had no vindictive feeling towards the defendants, but he felt, and hie friends agreed with him in the opinion, that the only place in which such charges as had been made against him could be properly refuted was in a public court of justice. Chief Justice Bovill mid that the charges contained in the article complained of were undoubtedly of a most serious character, and if there had been any truth in them the plaintiff would certainly have been not only un fitted to hold the position of member of the Jockey Club, ' but also for the society of gentlemen, and that no other course was left open to set himself right with his friends and with the public than the one he had adopted. The plaintiff had placed himself in the witness box, and bad positively denied that there was any foundation for the charges made against him, and had subjected him self to cross-examination, and a most handsome apology had been made on beh alf of the defendants—an apology which it appeared to hint was perfectly satisfactory to the plaintiff. The jury then returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with It was slated that the 2 il. would be banded by the plaintiff to the Herta Infirmary. trALO.NIAL GOVEINME.I7 SICIIRMEIL PL I t.i. orlon.

On Saturday a deputation of members of the Tower Hamleta and Metropolitan Associations for the Equalisation of the Poor Rates waited on the President of the Poor-law Board, to urge the necessity of making some additions to the provisions of the new Metropolitan Poor Bill. Lord Esrlsi.D, M.P., introduced the deputation, which was composed of Sir Charles Bright, M.P., the Rev. Septimus Hanaard, the Rev. G. H. M•Gill, Mr. Donald Munro, Mr. R. J. Donovan, Mr. Fox, Mr. Spence, Ur. Bletchford, and other gentlemen. The Rev. Mr. aUGill, of St. George's-in-the-East, said that the object of the deputation was to make known to the Preaident of the Poor-law Board the resolutions arrived at by the conference held at the London Tavern on Monday last, relative to the desirability of making some additions to the new Poordaw Bill now before par liament, with a view to its greater usefulness. These reso lutions were embodied in a memorial, which he read, and which stated that it was desirable that syphilis and cancer should be placed on the list of diseases to be laid for out of the common fund ; that a rate in aid should be made over the whole metropolitan area to meet CMGs of sudden distress, or of an epidemic visitation such as that of the cholera during the last summer; anclAhat the wet of the buildings for the sick should be defrayed out of the general fund. Mr. HARDT remarked that with respect to the last re commendation the expense would come out of the common fund ; the building would be paid for in the first instance in the same way as the district schools were paid for. The Rev. Mr. M'Citi. said that the general notion was that the whole of the buildings would be charged to the parishes. Mr. HARDT said that the whole of them would not he. The lunatics and insane poor would be placed upon the common fund, which would be chargeable for all the ex penses connected with that class. Several members of the deputation having expressed their views at some length, Mr. HARDT replied. He aid with respect to the ques tion of the cost of buildings, he did not think that in all cases it would be found necessary to erect new ones, for there were several that would, no doubt, answer most pur poses. But new buildings for the sick would, in his opinion, have to be constructed, for a system of manage mentquite different from that at present in operation would be introduced. The deputation asked him to charge such buildings to the common fund. He could not well accede to that request. In several parishesgreat expense had already been incurred in tbeerection of suitable establishments, and it would not be just to call upon those parishes to provide funds to pay for buildings for those districts that had not gone to any such expense. As for the question of dis pensaries, they were. he understood, for , the most part hired houses, and therefore the expense would be so tri fling that it would not be worth while to put them on the general fund. Respecting the question of the sick charges be gleaned from the memorial and from the deputation that they wished the whole of the sick to be placed on the common fund, but only two diseases—cancer and syphilis —wore mentioned, and singularly enough a memorial pre sented to him only a few days ago by the Metropolitan Association asked him to place these two diseases on the fund. Toe reason why they wanted syphilis so placed appeared to arise from moral considerations rather than otherwise. Then there was the question of consumption ; that appeared to him a most difficult disease to deal with, as no one knew exactly when it began or at what parti cular stage the malady could be really called consumption. His reason for not taking in all the sick poor was that it would be almost impossible fo distinguish accurately be tween those that were hospital cases and those that were not. He thought there were considerable difficulties which militated against the proposition to allow necessaries ordered to patients by the medical officers to be charged to the fund, and he was of opinion that nourishment no ordered could not be classified as drugs, or the cost be defrayed in the mime way. Then, coining to the proposal for the establishment of a rate in aid, he said that he felt very strongly with the deputation that the charitable contributions of the metropolis led too frequently to results which the donors bad no knowledge of, and never anticipated. But he was not prepared to deal with the question of the rate in aid in the present bill. There would be great difficulty in knowing when to come in to the aid of a parish with such a rate. Suppose, for instance, that it was decided to grant the aid when the local rate reached the amount of in the pound. There were some parishes where the rate was already in excess of that amount, and they would naturally say, " Why not help us?" With respect to what had been said about the inadequacy of the local staffs to meet such emergencies as those spoken of by the Rev. M. M'Gill, he might say that it was intended to pay the officers out of the common fund, and be hail no doubt that if any emergency should arise in future, the Poor-law Board would always be glad to render the guardians any assistance that lay in their power. In conclusion, the hon. gentleman said that there were many difficulties in the way, and what he wished them all to do was to give and take. If he had a pressure from the east, there was also a cloud rising in the west. He would ask them to give him their best support, and he had no doubt that he would be able to do battle with the bill as it at present stood. The deputation thanked the President for the courtesy with which he had entered into the subject with them, and the interview terminated. ROYAL UNITED SERVICE INSTITUTION. The general annual meeting of the members was held at the Institution, Whitehall-yard, on Saturday afternoon, Sir J. PagignroN, First Lord of the Admiralty, in the chair. There was a numerous attendance of naval and military officers, among them the Earl of Fowls, Admiral Sir J. Hay, General Sir J. Burgoyne, Ad miral Sir W. Codrington, Colonel Sykes, General Sir J. Chatterton, Colonel K. A. S. Adair, Ad miral Sir F. Nicholson, General Sir W. Mackenzie, General Lindsay, General Vincent Eyre, Admiral Sir G. Back, Admiral Ommaney, Admiral Collinson, Admiral Deacon, General Bloomfield, General Sir F. Smith, Colonel Stanhope, Captain Fishbourne, General Hope, Colonel ('coke, Captain Selwyn, Captain Craufunl, Captain Tyler, Captain Symonds, dm. The report showed that during the part year the income front all sources was 3,488 t, including the annual grant of 6001. from governmennt ; the expenditure was 3,31 W. ; and the number of members on the 31et December was 3,891. The library, containing upwards of 13,000 volumes, has been enriched by the presentation of numerous works re lating to naval and military science and history from the governments of the United States, Prussia, Netherlands, Russia, and Austria. THE SPECIAL SERVICES AT ST. PAUL'S.—Yell tenlay evening the ninth of the special services for the pre sent year, under the dome of St. Paul's was held, the large open space being completely filled. The sermon 1•18 preached by the Rev. Francis Pigou, M.A., of Trinity College, Dublin, incumbent of St. Philip's, Regent-street. The sermon next Sunday evening will be pr each ed by the Rev. Charles Wellington Tune, ILA., of Christ Church, Oxford, Vicar of Staines. TRADES CONFERSNCE.—The recent decision of the judges in the Court of Queen's Bench affect ing the legality of trades unions, even although their rules may have been deposited with the Registrar-General of Friendly Societies, and the issuing of the Royal Commissions of Inquiry into the working of trades unions, has crested considerable sensa. tion amongst the members of those bodies throughout the kingdom, and a conference of delegates from all tbe socie ties has been called by the London Working Men's Asso ciation to consider the judgment, and what is needed fur the protection of society funds. Mr. Neate's bill on the subject will also be discussed, and the propriety of ap pointing a committee to sit concurrently with the royal commission will be considered. This committee, it is proposed, shall endeavour to gain permission for one or two of its members to be present at the sitting of the commission, with a view to furnish rebutting testimony, if needed. A precedent for this course is found in the case of the select committee of the House of Commons on combination, appointed on the motion of the late Daniel O'Connell, in 1837. This conference is to assemble at St. Martin's-hall to-morrow morning. Mr. Neste. Mr. Ayrton, and other members of parliament, are expected to attend. THE POLICE COURT& BOW-STREET. Four wretched-looking youths, from 18 to 20 years of age, named Robert Parker , John William, Jolt* Jackson, and haw Bentley, were charged with being in an archway forming part of the premises of the South-Eastern Rail way, as was supposed " for an unlawful purpose." Mr. Richardson, the station master at the Charing-cross station, said that for some time past there had been com plaints from the inhabitants of Brewer's-lane of idlo per sons frequenting the arches abutting on this thoroughfare, and forming a portion of the structure of the Charing cross terminus and railway. He went down to the place on Friday evening and found the four prisoners in one of the arches. They had made themselves very comfortable. They had laid a quantity of timber down to form a flooring, and had lihted a great fire in a sort of portable grate called a " devil , " used by the workmen when fires are required for their work. They had collected a quantity of coals and coke. The arch was one of those used fur storing timber, of which there was about a hundred tons there. The prisoners had made use of the timber to board the floor and close up the entrance. They had evidently been established there a considerabletinie, having even ornamentedthe walls with Pictures. The inhabitants had been much alanued, fear ing that the timber would be set on fire, which would pro , bably lead to the burning of the opposite houses, as the lane was very narrow at that part. In the month of De cember last, an adjoining office was broken into, and some money stolen from a desk. The arches were enclosed by a fence seven feet high, over which the thieves must have climbed to get in. Parker said he paid Id. to a stout man, with a billicock, for coke. It was the first night lie bad been there. He had walked from the country that morn ing and was much fatigued. He could not get a lodging, and was glad to get in anywhere out of the cold. VII. Hants said he had only paid one halfpenny. Jackson also said he had no money to pay for a lodging. Mr. Flowers said it was quite clear that whoever took money from these people to allow them to sleep in the arch had no right to do so. Mr. Richardson said somebody was making a harvest of it. He wished he could catch that person and bring him up instead of the bays. He understood that the fellow had threatened the lives of the inhabitants if they inter fered. Mr. Flowers would discharge the prisoners, but they must not go there again. He was afraid, however, that they had nowhere else to go. Parker, who is a cripple, said he was a shoe-riveter and belonged to Leicester. Mr. Flowers offered him an order for the workhouse, which ha declined, preferring to walk back to Leicester. Mr. Flowers gave him 2s. lid. from the poor-box to help him on the way. MARKETS. COTTON.—LiTtaronc, MARCH 2. —With a firm demand from the trade, our market is very steady.

COTTON GOODS. —llsltaiggrtit, MAWR 2.--Our market Me continued sensitive all the week, with *num fluctuation in prices. Up to Wednesday there was much depression, and rather lower rates had to he taken by most spinners and menu. faeturers who were not In a position to hold their productions in a falling market. On Thursday advice' from America of a falling elf In the receipt of cotton at the ports imparted rather more firmness to holders at Liverpool. and sellers of yarn and cloth here have, in some instances, raised their quotations of yarn id. per lb. Generally speaking, however, the advance has not been established. Buyers are very cautious. There has been a rather more lively inquiry for cloth, and some large oilers continue to be made for goods suitable to India, but the prices nanied are generally too low. The wales have mostly been of a very limited character. There have been some moderate purchases for the Levant, and mulls. Jacconets and light bowie, for India are still in some request, hat Mexicans and other (thrice for China continue aeglected. The general tone of the yarn market la one of depression. WOOLLEN —Lien, MARCH t—There has not been a large attendance of buyers at the cloth halls thin mornirqr, though quite as much business has been door as could be expected. if we take into consideration the general dulness which prevails amongst the warehouses, and also the continuance of cold weather, which greatly retards the sate of goods adapted for the spring trade. There have not been many buyers from out towns present ; a few Bradford shipping houses and one or two Man cheater firms have been represented, beyond which the attend ance has been composed of Leeds merchants. The parcels which have changed hands have been more numerous than large, and have included a sprinkling of most classes of evidently in the way of sortingup or in supplying outstanding orders The demand in the coloured hall has chiefly been for tweeds, which at present appear to alosorb the most attention, several parcels of blue-grey and light steel mixtures have been transferred. A few iota of dark grey and Oxford coatings in plain mixtures and stripes have also met with purchasers, but only In small quantities. Plain cloths in blue and wool-blacks, along with a few medley colours, have hoer inquired for to a larger extent than of late, though the aggregate amount of business transacted has not yet reached to an average extent. No other department has been worthy of special notice. The white market hail not 1 shown' any new feature worthy of report. As hair huts now form the chief article in request in this ball, the inquiries have ire oily been for this make in medium and better qualities. In some instances moderately goad parcels haregchanged hands, though the tone of the market has not been very animated. There have been a few transactions in Oxford mixture. meitims, and beavers, hot the amount has been merely nominal. Prices have not been so firmly maintained in many COM". as from the great difficulty of effecting sales and the uncertainty so to the result of the pre sent wool sales, manufacturers are snore disposed to accept offers. WOOL AND WOLSTV.D.—Daaneono, MARCH 2.—There has been a rather Improved feeling during the w ek, though the amount of Wainer...done in wool has been meagre.

THE Avon)Exec or STRIKES.—A meeting of the operatives connected with the Nottingham lace trade wad held in the Assembly-rooms of that town on Saturday evening. Part of the business of the meeting was the at tempt to adopt a plan whereby disputes between em• ployers and employed should be brought before a pro perly constituted board of arbitration to avoid strikes: such board to be composed partly of masters and partly of operative lawmakers. A similar board exists in the hosiery trade of Nottingham, and at the last meeting of the Chamber of Commerce it was su ggested that a like board, in connexion with the lace de, shotild be esta blished. There was then, however, considerable difficulty in the way. The subject was discussed on Saturday even ing, and the following resolution was ultimately put to the meeting:—" Resolved, that we, members of the United Society of Operative Lacemaken, in quarterl y . meeting assembled, being fully aware of the great evils arising from strikes awl lockouts, and believing in the great benefits derived by the hosiery trade from the estahhinent of a hoard of arbitration, hereby express our desire to eats bliah a penuament board of arbitration to prevent strikes and lock-outs, and are willing to meet the employers in the lace trade to endeavour to form the same," The exe entire committee were in favour of the resolution, and the meeting was adjourned for a week in order to llow time for full consideration.
