LAN IN' (Tillf3 DAY.) EQUITY COURT. (Beton Via-Chancellor Sir R. T. Kinder'ley.) airman THRSVIN.-.4 PARISH CHURCH DIRPUTZ. . . . . This suit was instituted for the purpose of aetermuun g —r. the title of Mr. and Mrs. Frewen, as lord and lady of the manor of leklesham, near Rye, Sussex, to the freehold of the south chancel of Icklesham Church. The claim had its origin in a question of repair, the vicar and church es/dens holding that the lord of the manor was liable for the repair of the chancel, although be had no right to the exclusive use of it, and the proceedings taken by the par ties in vindication of what they considered to be their right Mel caused considerable excitement in the neigh bourhood. Mr. Frewen endeavoured to exclude the parishioners from using the chancel during divine ser vice, and an attioi brought against the vicar (the Rev. H. B. W. Ctiurton ) was decided in favour of Mr. Frewen. Sub sequently the following notice was served upon the congrega tion se they entered the church : " Take natio, that you are not to traipses into the manor chancel of loklesham Church, as it is the exclusive property of the lord and lady of the manor, and all persons entering the said chancel without permission are liable to be proomded against as wilful trespassers. An adios was sustained against the vicar in the count y court of Rye for wilful trespass into the chan cel in the math of May, 1866." In April, 1864, four of Mr. Frewen's servants demanded, by a writing, signed by him, the church key, and on their being refused they broke open the door, and proceeding into the church emptied the chansel in question of the benches it contained, and placed them in the body of the church to the great inconvenience, as it was alleged, of the congregation on the following Sunday. Certain of the school children, as well as the churchwardens and vicar, continuing to use the chancel, three actions of trespass ware brought against them and these proceedings the bill sought to restrain. The bill was filed in June last, and claimed the right to the chancel as well as to the rest of the church, subject only to the right of the Beclesisatical Commissioners, as lay rector, and asking for &declaration that theparishioners were entitled to the use and enjoyment of the chancel, and that it could not be considered as appendant to the manor or manor-house. The defendant's case was that from time immemorial, the chancel in question had been repaired by the lords of the manor, that it was built i n f ac t - by an ancestor, and was a private chapel, as shown by mural and other monu ments, and it was never an integral part of the church, but had been used from time immemorial by the lords of the manor. The Vice-Chancellor, in giving judgment, said there weld be no doubt that it was the practice in ancient times for persons of note to build chapels as places of family sepulture, and many instances of the kind were to be found even in the present day. It was also beyond doubt that the church of Icklash= was founded by the lord of the manor of Icklesham, and it had been shown that the Lord of the Manor in the time of Henry 111. was the patron of the church. If then the chapel was con temporaneous with the original church, there was no doubt that it belonged to the Lord of the Manor of Icklesham. From a careful consideration of the vast amount of ancient documentary evidence which bad been adduced, he tame to the conclusion that their chancel was anciently and probably at a time coeval with the foundation of the church or private chapel be longing to the lords of the manor, and that the family who through many generations were lords of the manor of Icklesham were the Winchelsea (11nch) family. The repairs of the chancel had always bean done by the lord of the manor, and there were wills, remains of altars for the perform ance of masses, and monuments indicating that the chan cel was appendant to the manor house. It was much to be regretted that Mr. Frewen, in order to exercise that which was his undoubted right, should have authorised the indecent act of breaking open the church door, and it wee also extremely to be regretted that he should have seen fit to print and publish a very ill-conditioned letter. Still these acts could have no effect upon the decision in the suit, and it was evident that the pariah had no right whatever in this chancel except with the • 'on of the lord of the manor for the time being. Under these cir cumstances, he must dismiss the bill with costs. Mr. Giese and Mr. Wintls appeared for the plaintiffs ; Dr. Stephens, Mr. Chas. HO and Mr. Trail for Mr. and Mrs. Frewen ; Mr. Lindsay for the lay rector, and Mr. Sturges for Mr. W. Briars's, the reversioner ; Mr. Frewen being only tenant for life. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittings at Nisi Prins at Guildhall.—(Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock and Common Juries.) • TAYLOR V. _ BOAR& . . _ This was an action brought by • journernan painter against his master to recover damages for injuries sus tained by an accident. _ _ Kr. acton and Mr. R. Rigby were for the plaintiff ; Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., and Mr. Shaw, for the defendant. On the' th March last the plaintiff was employed in washing • ceiling at 37, Hyde-park-gardens, when the scaffolding on which he stood gave way, and his ankle was sprained by his fall to the ground. He was prevented working for seven weeks, and had not yet entirely recovered. It appeared that the scaffold consisted of a plank resting on a ladder and a pair of step., and that it had been erected by a labourer named O'Neil, by the directions of the defendant. O'Neil stated that he had constructed it precisely according to the defendant's instructions, but the defendant was not present when the materials were put together. The particular negli gence alleged wee in not fastening the plank with nails. At the conclusion of the plaintiff's case Mr. O'Malley submitted that the plaintiff ought to be nonsuited. The Lord Chief Baron said he was of opinion that there was no evidence of negligence, and directed • nonsuit. Nonauit accordingly. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) GERRARD C. GERRARD AND BLANDRRT. Mr. G. Brown and Mr. Searle for the petitioner ; Mr. Inderwick for the respondent; Dr. Spinka for the co. respondent. The petitioner, Edmund John Gerrard, was • schoolmaster, in the neighbourhood of Hanley, Sta ff ordshire. In November, DM, he married Ann Newman, the daughter of a person of some property in the same locality. After * cohabitation of a few months there was a separation, and the respondent returned to her father, her husband agree ing to make her an allowanoe. Sheafterwardsleftherhome, and on the 31st of May, 1865, she committed adultery with John Blandret, who had been a royalty master, but who was at that time keeping a beer-shop. (The ease was not finished when our report left.] THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. szslarrsG THE POLICE AT HER MAJESTT . 9 THEATRE. Jesse Mills, footman, of No. 2.i, Upper Grosvenor-street, was charged before Mr. Knox, with resisting the police on duty at her Majesty's Theatre. Sergeant M'Hugo, 4 A, said he was on duty at Her Majesty's Theatre yesterday evening at 6 o'clock, there being a large attendance, and in consequence a large number of servants present,. To prevent confu sion a place Wail set apart at the theatre by the Commissioners of Police for servants to wait in, but the defendant refused to go there, and stood at the door. He told the defendant that if he did not obey the regulations he should have to remove him, but be still refused, and on aaempting to remove him he resisted a good deal, and caused all the servants to come out, and II consequence created great disorder. He then took the defendant into custody. In answer to Mr. Knox the sergeant said the defendant had been drinking. Police -constable 5.59 A, corroborated the sergeant. The defendant said he was treated very roughly by the sergeant, thrown down, and his clothes were torn. The sergeant denied this, stating that the defendant's clothes were torn through his resisting being taken into custody. Mr. Knox said be did not believe the defendant, and he should fine him 10s., or seven days. WORSHIP-STREET. A CLERK CHARGED WITH STEALING POSTAGE STAMPS. BAcrt Potter, 23, respectable in appearance, and described so • clerk, residing in Buttesland-street, New North-road, was charged wfth stealing 339 postage stamps, the pro party of his masters, Messrs. William Palmer and Co., Patent candle manufacturers, at the Victoria works, Green-street, Mile-end. The prosecutor stated that the young man had been six teen mouths in the service of the finn, that recently sus- Pkiou attached to him with respect to the subject matter of this charge, and it became apparent by examination of a book, the figures in which are relative to such expenditure, and in the prisoner's handwriting, that he had falsified the amounts inavery ingenious manner. The duty of the cashier Wu to supply him with stamps for business purposes, and lu own duty was to render an account of their appropriation ; this had been done, but after the various items had been summed up, and carried out, and the same were signed fc't bl KDO.her clerk, the prisoner had introduced other figures in the total, sometimes in the shilling, and occa "tonally i n th e pence column, thus making Is. lls., by pURN( a stroke beside it, or 7s. 175., by the same Process. Another employe was directed to keep a private account of the stamp expenditure, but that plan was un estlsfactory and he (Mr. Palmer) at one time was fearful it would be incumbent on him to place two of his clerks before the magistrate. It was a matter that for the credit of the whole establishment he felt bound to pursue and prosecute. He asked for a remand. The prisoner who appeared to feel keenly his degraded ppennon made no reply to the charge and was remanded as rtquired. FATAL OMNIBUS ACCIDENT AT lAVEZPOOL. Yesterday an omnibus accident occurred at Liverpool in consequence of the hones running away. A peas/Am and Wow haw were killed. prio• EXP. THE RATIONAL MIME MEETING. OPENING OF THE CAMP ON WIMBLEDON COMMON.—{THIS DAY.) The encampment in which the crack riflemen of the volunteer force will be located during the ensuing fort night win opened on Wimbledon-commas this day ; and, in anticipation of the sheeting which commences on Monday, large numbers have arrived and taken up their quarters under canvas. A very large extent of pound is occupied, and there could be no better proof of *a growing love of the volunteers for the rifle than is afforded by the yearly demands for additional space. This year several of the metropolitan regiments have pitched tents for the special accommodation of their members. On going into camp to-day each volunteer was supplied withthe followrng articles while he is in camp • palliasse with straw to fill it, a bolster, two blank.* a water proof sheet, a lantern, and a water can. The articles furnished to officers consisted of a bed, mattress,. pillow, washstand, basin, water can, tub, looking-Blau. latitFu , mat, chair, bolster, two blankets, and a pole strap. 73rd linen is not supplied. Each tent is designed to accommo date two offloers, or four non-commasioned officers or privates, the charge for the former during the meeting being 11. sa, and for the latter Is. per day. The office of the National Rifle Association, which was removed from Pell-mall on Saturday last, was this morn ing formed on the common, and the arrangements for the " first night," are now being pushed rapidly forward. Each arrival of trod= at the Putney and Wimbledon stations swells the number of those already in camp, and the roads leading to the common are lined with vebicles conveying the *ceases les of the volunteers to the tents. A telegram just received state; the Belgian Rifle men, some 200 or 300 in number, have just left Ostend, by the mail boat.' of the Belgian goverument,to attend the Wimbledon meeting. On their arrival at Dover they will be conveyed free to London by the South Eastern and London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Companies, who have generously granted them free passes. It is expected that they will leave the metropolis this eveninf. The rules of the camp have been issued this morning. They stare that the commandant will make his rounds of the different camps at noon each day. " Reveille" will sound at 6 o'clock 111 the morning, the "retreat" at 8 p.m., " tattoo" at half-past 10, and the "Let poet" at 11 o'clock. Ten minutes after the " last post' the " lie down" will be sounded, when all lights will be put out, and from that time quiet must be preserved throughout the camp. All volunteers in ramp will be liable for duty. Urge numbers of volunteers from various parts of the country arrived in the metropolis this morning. THE FATAL FIRE IN HOITON. INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) Mr. Humphreys , coroner , held an inquest this forenoon at the Duke of Oloueester Tavern, St. John's- road, Roston, on view of the body of Sarah Jane Agnes Poulton, a child 2 years and 9 months old, who was burnt to death in her be& Mr. John Field, No. 8, Gloucester-street, Horton, said that the do:leased lodged at his house. She was the illegiti mate child of • young woman, namedOaroline Poulton. Th e deceased's mother gave directions that the child should not be left in the dark at night, and • rushlight was always left burning in the child's room. On Wednes day night, a little after 12 o'clock, witness re turned home and perceived • smellof smoke. Upon going to the deceased's room he saw the fire, and be instantly cried out, " Oh, God, the room is on fire and the child is burned." Re called for assistance, and the fire engines arrived. The deceased had resided with witness off and on since her birth. Emily Field a little girl, said that she put the deceased to bed, and lighted the ruehlight. She did not know whether the draught caused by her shutting the door had set the bed-clothes on fire. There were no screams beard. Dr. Warley said that he was called to see the body on Thursday morning. She was quite dead. Her body was dreadfully burned, and her death had arisen from suffocation and burns. Mr. Field said that the candle bad been left on a shelf by the deceased's bed. He always made it a role to go into the deceased's room the last thing at night to see that all was right. The Coroner said that the extra care that had been taken by themother to secure the safety of her child had unfortu nately been the cause of the deceased's death. The draught caused b the little • l shutting the deceased's ro o m d oor had evi dently caused the curtains of the deceased's bed to awing against the rushlight. The jury returned a verdict " That the decease lost her life accidentally by fire." FRIGHTFUL DEATH OF A NEGRO MELODIST. An inquiry was held by Mr. Langham, the deputy coroner, last evening, at the King's College Hos pital, touching the death of Henry Chappel, aged 52 years, a negro serenader. Julia Chap 1, 59, Clement's-lane, Strand, widow of the deceased,said that her husband was a paint e r. On Tuesday last he went out at 5 o'clock in the evening, and he remained out until 2 o'clock on Wedne sda y morning. He was then under the influence of drink. Witness was sitting up the whole night doing needle work. He came up to their room, which was at the top of the house on the fourth floor. When he entered the room he took his boots off and lit a pipe. He then walked over to the window and sat down on the ledge of it. As he was going to sleep witness begged of him to come away from the open window. He suddenly " swayed out" of the window and witness saw his feet whirl round and round in the air as he was falling to the ground. Witness did not know what to do, and she ran to the window for the purpose of throwing herself out after him. She then screamed and rushed to the lodgers. Deceased was seated with his arms folded when he fell. James Newington, a lodger living in the same house as the deceased, said that on the morning of the occurrence witness heard some words between the deceased and his wife. There were no blows struck. In ten minutes after Mrs. Chappel came screaming to witness and said, "Come, come, quick, my husband has fallen out of the window !" Witness went at once and found deceased lying apparently dead in a corner of the yard. Upon the arrival of the police he was removed. The deceased's wife was a very quiet industrious person, but her husband had taken to negro singing. Archibald. Duff, Clement's-lane, Strand, said that he was a serenader and negro singer in the street. Witness was the guitar player. Deceased was one of the company of which witness was a member. On Tuesday witness, de ceased, and several other negro melodists, went singing about the City. The deceased was one of the comic singers. He had given up his trade as • painter. The company divided their receipts at 1 o'clock rn tho morn ing, a.dd the deceased went home. Sergeant Henry Hamond, 3 F, said that on Wednesday morning he was on duty near Clement's-lane, when ho heard loud cries of " Police," and upon going to No. 59, Clement's-lane, he saw a large crowd of persons assembled round the deceased, who was lying on the stones. A stretcher was procured, and he was taken to the hospital. The deceased was lying in a large pool of blood. He was not then dead, but he died while on his way to the hospital. Mr. Harris Bradshaw, house-surgeon, said that the deceased was quite dead when he was brought to the hospital. There was a severe wound on the back of the deceased's head, and the skull was fractured. A. Duff said that when the deceased left to go home he was " sober enough for business," but all the singers had a great deal of drink given to them during the day. The Coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdict, "That the deceased was killed by accidentally falling from a certain window." THE QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY IN IRELAND.—We learn, from Mr. Fortescue's statement in the House of Commons yesterday evening, with an amount of regret that is ineasured by our respect for the late Ministry, that a serious blow has been given to the cause of united education in Ireland. The great seal has actually been put to • supplementary charter for the Queen's University in Ireland, opening its degrees to all comers, whether educated at the Queen's Colleges and other mixed educational institutions, or at the most exclusive and sectarian seminaries or col leges. The cause of united non-sectarian education in Ireland has thus sustained from liberal hands the moat severe injury it has ever had to endure. By adopting the expedient of a supplemental charter, and through the pro visions of the proposed bill, the vital point of the consent and authority of the existing members of the university being required before any alteration can be made in its cohstitution is apparently evaded.—Northern Whig. THE BREECH-LOADERS IN THE ENGLISH ARMY. ' —Now that there is such • rage for breech-loaders, it is but justice to recollect that we owe to Lord de Grey the fact that we are so forward in our arrange ments for introducing them into our own army. After the Dano-German war Lord de Grey resolved to take steps for arming the whole of the infantry with this vastly-improved weapon, and, in spite of very formidable opposition, he succeeded in having a com mittee appointed to receive tenders for the conversion of the Enfield into a breech-loader. As we know, there were several competitors and a great deal of imperfection, even in the plan which was mostapproved of. But these imperfec tions have, we believe, disappeared, and we have every rea eon to think that we have got a really efficient breech-loader in the Enfield converted on Mr. Snider's plan. It is but right to say that Lord Harlington has not been slow in following up the initiative taken by Lord de Grey; and one of his last official acts was to provide for a large supply of the converted weapons. We have no fear that General Peel will dissent from the course adopted by his prede cessor, and we are confident that the British army will be the second in possession of this weapon, which II 11101 r to the Enfield as the latter was to Brown Bms.—Arsty and Navy Gazette. PAPER COLLARS.—A Boston (American) paper has a report that a clerk in one of the wholesale stores of that city has lately been afflicted with a painful breaking out on the neck, which he at first attributed to boils, but a physician being called, the patient was informed that he was suffering from the polemmai properties of articles used in the ppaararation of his enamelled paper cellars, which bad been iheorbed into his system. <r-~ imrAfut 78 DAY.)

South Austrian sad Lombardo-Venetian, 141 to Although it rained hard at Vienna on the morn ing of the let, a great number of persons went in proces sion from the cathedral to the church of the " Mother of Help," in the suburb Mariahilf, where the Cardinal Arch bishop of Vienna prayed the Almighty to give success to the arms of Austrta. The Archduke Francis Charles, and the Archduchess Sophia (the parents of the Emperor) took part in the procession, and the Empress and the Arch duke Ludwig Victor, her brother-in-law, attended divine service in the above mentioned church, where is a black picture of the Virgin to which wonder-working powers are attributed. THE New MAJOR-GENERAL.—The Queen has been pleased to appoint Prince Christian of Schleewig- Holstein a major-general in the army. We are sure that the officers of the army will appreciate the compliment paid them in having enrolled as a comrade one who is in so close a position of af finity to her Majesty. We are glad to say that the compliment is not in any way qualified by an Injury inflicted on the officers now on their way up to the fixed establishment of general officers. Prince Christian is not to be borne on the fixed establishment, and thus his nomi nation will not stop any promotions. In fact, as we un derstand it, his position is purely honorary, and we trust so it will continue.—Army and Nary gazette. A LADY HAMLET. —I should be very glad if words of mine could help to induce others to look with- out prejudice upon the coarseness of the audiences, and the entertainments, at some of the fifth-rate places of amusement in great cities. My own habits are those of a very quiet, studious person ; I have delicate health, and fastidious senses—and yet I can tolerate, and with amused interest, a great deal from which some very good people turn harshly away. At the " Bower Saloon," &angst!, Westminster, I have witnessed a drama called, in the bill of the play, The Hungry Son, or, the Dreadful Effects of Family Hatred Carried on too Long ; but I also saw once, and with pleasure, a girl act Hamlet there. And very creditably she did it too, although she was so ignorant that in the great soliloquy she said " pickled" for sicklied." On this occasion, the house was so crowded that the gal lery audience overflowed on to the sloping roofs of the boxes, and there was a ring of naked, shoeless legs dang ling in pairs over the heads of the indignant dress-circle. Indeed, the excitement of the people was so great (ex cusably, for Miss G— was the only lady Hamlet I had then ever heard of, though Miss Marriott has acted Hamlet since) that a disturbance appeared imminent at one time of the evening. However, the Polonius of the tragedy, Mr. —, came before the drop-scene between the acts, and made an angry speech, of which I caught a feerworda. police man at the door . . . one of . . . . you got awe the other day . . . . . 'Magma the savages in the back woods . . . . ." The remainder was lost in a storm of applause, and order was restored for ' the rat of the evesiag.—Tic Army for July. 60,001' 50 • Agra& Masterman's (L.;! 26 121 20 di' - 110,000 1 50 Albion - 40,000 . 100 1 AllianceLoo.&Llverpool IS I 3 1 dis 231 / 00,000 20 ; Anglo Auitrian 6 1 ills par id - ad 40,000, 60 Anglo Egyptian (Lim.) 2O 12 10 dis - 20,000. 50 , Anglo Italian (Limited' 2O 10 d dls - 11,3001 20 Asiatic Bank Cor. sew sh 10 2 4 - 30,000 . 40 Australasia all 65 67 - 12,500 20 Bankof British Columbia. all 17 19 - 12,500 20 Do.

At Tlemcen, where insects have never appeared, the earth is covered with them. At Sidi Bel-Abbas, Sidi-Brahim, and Mostaganem, they attack tobacco, plants, vines, and fig and olive trees, notwithstanding the bitterness of their leaves. At Bellew'. and liabra they are invading the cotton grounds, and the sixty miles of road between Mostaganem and Mascara is swarmed. In the province of Constantine the locusts ap reared almost simultaneously from Sahara to the sea, and om Bougia to Calle. At Batt, Setif, Constantine, Guelma, Bona, Philippeville,and Djidjelly, the population are labouring without cessation, but neither Am nee the obstacles opposed to the of the insects can Europethe disasters which are fallen on the farms of ns in particular. The loss is immense, and its whole extent cannot be foreseen, for the work of dosed'. tion is advancing daily, and Provides*e akin. esn'stay it. Aid most be afforded to the 'Depilation. whose crops MO deserved, and to times beads of families who coasted ea theirlearreet for bread." Al , 1 ; I ..... Ws II 1. .... sok oil or hod so rta
