C\II.MoRIJINARV The (Nevit'm Advocate and Dr. Tristram for the peti• tionet ; lir. spinkm. q. r. , and Mr. searle for the respon• dent. This . str...rolin try ca-e, in which the guardian of Iffira NI., y 1 lallet's eluman Hancock, otherwise Mn. „ .ay. prayed for a declaration of the nullity of her alleged •m the ground of her insanity at the time when a. contracted, was resumed this morning. Irr 1.11., resident medical superintendent of St. Luke's, Lich the lady became a patient in February last, said was admitted on the ground of imbecility, and she was •• ien the chronic incurable list. tine of her delusions th she was the Princess Charlotte, and she had ad letters to the queen. Afterwards she became . ut : sire swore and used filthy language. She made a r. ,t clatter with the knife and fork while eating. She discharged on the '22nd instant, at the request respondent. She would probably continue in this s.atr till she w.s seven or eight-and-forty years of age ; a. • which she might perhaps get better. The order of .. , Irrasrrion signed by the respondent stated that her when first attacked was "3.1 and most likely before (she was :It; at the time of the alleged marriage.) tress-examined—Considered that she was very much im rro:ed when she left. The quiet of an cstablisment like st. frrke . , was most desirable for a person in her state of b..r!th : and it would be very undesirable to remove her rrequent:y from house to house. Should consider the operat.on of elitoridectomy a most improper one in this or .rr any other case ; but at present the question was much debated in the medical profession. By the Judge—She was scarcely at any period sane, but tunes she was very nice and proper in her demeancur. Kie was always, however, subject to delusions. Should say that her mind had always had an hereditary taint, •suite apart from the state other bodily condition. By Dr. Spinks—Should not expect to find a person in Mrs. Peaty's condition sane for six weeks together. Ey the Judge—Marriage would not aggravate her malady ; but still he should not recommend it to a person in Mrs. Peatys condition. Mr. Charles Topham, a friend of the Hancock family, ,lxiaribed the conduct of Mary Ann at the wedding ; but his evidence was not very material. Dr. Wood, physician to St. Luke's, corroborated his learned colleague. Had never seen a patient who gave him more the impression of a confirmed lunatic. Cross - examined--Thought that she might at times be able to write a sensible letter. Did not think she was materially improved when she left the hospital ; but her state varied a good deal, and when she left she might have bee* somewhat quieter than when she was ad mitted. Thought it improbable that her malady would ever, at any ls•rial of Ler life, pass wholly away. Sauna Bailey, housemaid to Dr. Taylor, confirmed the “ccount given hyhermasterof the eccentricities of hie guest. She would comedown with rags round her wrists, and would state that they were valuable bracelets. On one occasion she dressed herself in Dr. Taylor's clothes, observing that she wished to know whether she should have any different feelings in gentlemen's attire from those she had in her own. (Laughter.) She kept Dr. Taylor's clothes on for three hours, and went down into the drawing room in them. Her delusions as to her food being poisoned continued till the time of her marriage. She also fancied that her things were stolen. She bad • work-box which she would place underlierpillowatnight, and on which she would sit in the day time. The third night before she was married she undressed herself and sat for three hours in her empty hip bath. She had pinned up the drawing of a bridge which she had made, and which she said Hobert and she would have to pass under when they were married, and ahe sat looking at it to see if it was finished. Witness slept with her. On the night before her marriage she washed her clothes which had come home from the laundress, observing that they were not clean. Afterwards she got up and held • light before witness's eyes to see whether she was asleep. Witness asked her what she wanted. She said she had something more to do the bridge. She then pulled off her night-dress and got into the bath again. Told her that she would never be ready to be mar ried if she did not take some rest, and then she got into bed. Every three or four weeks she was more than usually excited ; and the marriage happened in one of these periods. She .lid, however, strange things between those periods of special excitement. She was, for instance, very rude to Mr. Taylor and to the pupils ; but on one occasion she made an offer of marriage to one of them. About a month after the wedding witness saw her at Dr. Taylor's gate ; she was in her night dress, with her wedding dress ever it, and she had a cash-box under her arm. Witness induced her to get into a cab and go away. She said she had come to fetch witness to nurse her husband, who was very ill. Told her that she could not leave the house. She then said she had got plenty of money, and asked witness to fetch out one of the pupils to have a dance with her. [The cue woe proceeding when our report left.] THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL ESIBEZILEEMT BY • CLERK AND TRAVELLER. George Ham's, a respectable-looking elderly man, was charged on remand before Sir B. S. Phillips with em bending mime of money amounting in the aggregate to between 231 V. and 30W. Mr. Croft, from the office of Mr. Sawbridge, prosecuted. Mr. Croft said that although the gross amount was so lar e they hall selected only two cases to proceed upon. The facts of the case were these :--The prisoner ha.l be en for sixteen yeah a clerk and traveller to Mr. Charles Phillip Town-wail, s border, of Cripplegate.buildings, and his duties were to collect orders, receive accounts, an d pay the money over to Mr. Phillips the same day that he received it.

The above facts having been proved, the prisoner was fully committed for trial. 110 W STREET. A CABMAN'S ALIBI. A cal.driver named Tortill, badge 3,679, appeared to an summons, for having, by carelessness caused L i "" , . , ;•• to the carriage of a gentleman named RigwelL ssr. la.vris, sem., appeared for complainant. John Hartley, the first witness, on being asked his men ihnos and place of business, replied that he was a crossing s7ePper and that his " walk " was at the Regent-circus, I ....Only. On Wednesday, the Nth inst., about 9 o'clock lb the evetiint., he saw a carriage passing the Circus t,srod, osfordedrect. The cab was going in the con *.,rf direction, at a pace not above the ordinary rate, n it came into collision with the carriage. The cabman ~ n. and the footman ran about 80 or 90 yards after ore he could take the number. The cabman i‘roe.l Luck when be got to Jennyn-street. Witness was 4(4 aide to recognise driver or vehicle. It w:,5 stated shat the damage done by she cab amounted No charge was included for injury to the var !s•h, a, it WWI always varnished once a year, and it must I s -en done soon in any case. • T he Prisoner denied having been in Regent...street at 11 , hour specified, and called THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 26, 1867. Thomas Dance, a horse keeper employed by Mr. Mitchell, of Dorset-street, who stated that he was in the habit of going on a Wednesday in every month to his club at the Larleymow, in l)onet•street. In doing so he was obliged to pass the cab rank in Dorset•street, at about 9 o'clock. As he passed on the evening of the Bth he saw the defendant and spoke to him. He remained in his club till twenty minutes past 11, and when he came out he again stw the defendant. At 9 o'clock there were eight or nine cabs before the defendant's. At deven the defen• dant's was about third or fourth. He said to the defendant " You will get no fare to-night." The defendant said that he should soon turn in. He knew the defendant from working at the same cabyard. In iiii ivation by Mr. Lewis, the witness said that it was a fine night, whereas it was shown that it was snowy. Mr. Vaughan said it was quite evident that the accident had been caused by a cab bearing the number of that driven by the defendant, and that he had been produced as the driver on that particular occasion. His master would therefore have to pay for the damage done. and he, 111 r. Vaughan, should tine the defendant 20s. and costs, or order him to be imprisoned for 10 days. Defendant did not pay the tine. He was removed in the prison van. CLERKENIVELL FOREIGN HoUNEBREAKERA. Raphor Owe' . aged 40, a respectably-attired Italian, who was described on the charge.sheet as a general tiler chant residing at 3, Beak-street, Regent-street, was charged before Mr. Barker with being concerned with two Italian.; now in custody with breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mr. John Votieri, engraver,of 24, I 'tiper Park -street, Islington, and stealing therein 30 onyx stouts, value 201.. a glass bottle containing pieces of onyx atones, a wooden box containing 100 onyx stones, value 401., and also with feloniously assaulting Joseph Morgan at the Lune time and place. On Thu . rsilay - night the prosecutor's house was visited by some foreigners, who, finding that the prosecutor was absent, asked for a pen and ink to write a message. One in them was shown into the parlour, and then the appren tice was bound with his hands behind him with a hand kerchief, and a handkerchief waa tied tightly over his mouth. The police. who were concealed in the house, rushed in and apprehended the two men now in custody, but not before a desperate struggle took place. The ap prentice then said that another nmn, not then in custody, came to the door, but he went away. A woman who cohabited with one of the prisoners under remand, said that the present prisoner was the man that '' put up "the robbery, and had induced the two men under remand to commit the offence. The prisoner stopped with the men nearly all day, and went out with them when they went to commit die robbery. He had frequently told her friend to go and rob the prosecutor's house, and had also told them how to 110 tt, and the proper time to go. She was sure her friend would not have committed, the robbery had it not been for the prisoner. Joseph Morgan said that when the two men now in ClL tody were going to the police-station he saw the prisoner pass his master's house. That was about two minutes after the police had released him. The prisoner did not stop or take any especial notice of his master's house. The prisoner said he could prove a clear and com plained that he had been twice taken into custody on this charge. If, was taken out of his bed at 2 o'clock, and then the inspector discharged him. A tradesman in an extensive way of business in Hatton garden. said that the prisoner was in his house two hour. before the robbery, and from that time up to nearly an hour after the robbery had been committed- He was a respectable man, and would not be guilty of such au offence as felony. Mr. Barker said there was no evidence to connect the prisoner with the robbery. The alibi was complete, and the prisoner would therefore be discharged. SHARE LISTS.-(THIS DAY.) Ors O'CLOCK.

Some of the other securities, including British railway stocks and foreign bonds, exhibit, however, a slight re action, in the absence of transactions of any im portance. Atlantic and Great Western Railway consolidated mortgage bonds have improved per cent., owing to a statement in a contemporary that the interest is about to be resumed. The rate for choice bills in the discount market to-day is 3 per cent., showing no change. Short loans on English government securities are offered in the Stock Exchange at 11 to 2 per cent.

Two o'CLocw. Consols remain firm, at the quotations above given. The amount of gold withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for exportation was only b,000(. The steadiness of the exchanges will probably tend to check the outflow. The Sussex has arrived from Port Phillip with 117,0001. in gold, afters quick passage of 70 days.

An inquiry was held by Mr. Humphreys, the Middlesex Coroner, last evening, at the Q ueen 's Head Tavern, Cambridge-road, Bethnal-green, peeti the alleged manslaughter of Margaret Collins, a g d 77. Eliysts.th Hancock, 4, Triangle-place, Bethnal-green, servant to Jetuinut Woodruff, said that on last Christmas eve, Mr. Woodruff was beating her when the deceased, his mother-in-law, upon interfering, was knocked down by him. She fell across a chair, and she was laid up ever since. Witness proceeded against Mr. Woodruff before the magistrate for the assault on herself, and he was tined 40s. He was in the habit of Musing his wife in such a dreadful manner that the deceased used to tremble for fear whenever his step would be heard. . . . Sarah Ward gave similar evidence, and said that when Woodruff knocked the deceased down she said, " You ruffian, you have given me my death blow." When witness interfered he laid bold of her (witness) by the right breast and dragged her across the room, and she had not got over the effect of his illussge yet. A friend of Mr. Woodruff's said that those two women who gave evidence had a prejudice against bini. A juror remarked that it would be a miracle if they had not. _ It was stated that the wife of Mr. Woodruff was too ill to giveevidenee. She has become entitled tosome little pro perty upon the death of her mother, the dammed. On the day when the acts deposed to were committed, Mr. Wood ruff was not sober, and he was "thrashing them all round" in a fit of drunken fury. Mr. E. Pope, 11.R.C.5. said that deceased died on Tues day. There were no marks of violence on the body, and he attributed death to debility from the shock to the system arising from the constant fear she was kept in by the illtreatment of her daughter, as deposed to. The Coroner, in summing up, sharply animadverted on the conduct of the deceased's son-in-law ; but said that the medical evidence showed that her death did not arise from his direct violence to her. The jury returned a verdict "That the deceased died from debility accelerated by shock to the system and by fear." Mr. Childers, M.P., last night addressed his con stituents at Pontefract. He reviewed the reform question for the last seven years, and commented upon various other subjects of political importance. PRINCE CHRISTIAN AND THE ARMY.—When some months ago we announced the appointment of her Majesty's son-in•law, Prince Christian, of Schleswig-Holstein, to be a major-general in the army, we expressed our gratification that tLe rank was to be honorary only, and that therefore the nomination would not impede the progress of the regular officers of the army up to the post of general on the fixed establishment. Her Majesty had, in fact, ordered that the precedent of the Prince of Wales should be followed. Now the precedent of the Prinoe of Wales was this : his royal highness was gazette(' a general on the day he attained his majority in 1 5 62, but he was not borne on the fixed establishment, did not receive unattached pay, and displaced or interfered with no one. In a few months, however, the Prince was given the oolonelcy of the 10th Hussars, which most materially interfered with the promotion and reward of the cavalry generals—General Gough being an especial sufferer. Bearing this in mind, we are reluctantly forced not to disregard an unpleasant rumour, which has lately come to our ears, to the effect that it is intended to take the earliest opportunity of giving Prince Christian a colocelcy— that of a household regiment, it is said. Such a step would be most unjust, and would create deep and well.founded &satisfaction throughout the service.— Arms arid Nary Gazette. F . A.NeY I MPURTATION S.—There are very few ship masters who manifest so much interest in this colony as Captain Harris, for each time the Orient returns she is certain to contribute some items for the especial instruc tion and amusement of Young Australia.

On the main hatchway Mr. Jordan has a commodious stall occupied by as fine an entire as could be seen. The Ace of Clubs was &mutable horse in England, and his owner may well be proud of him here. A couple of brood mares, in good order, occupy ' another part of the deck. All the imported stock is in condition reflecting credit on the keepers. Before con cluding Captain Harris's importation it in proper to notice the arrival of a present from the Mercers' Company to the Mayor and Corporation of the City of Adelaide, viz., a cake of surprising richness and quality.—SosM A eatrahoot pa r • RAILWAY TEA/PIC RECEIPTS. —The traffic re ceipts of railway; in the United Kingdom amounted, tot the week ending January 19, on 12,734 miles, to 606,946/., and for the corresponding week of last year, ' on 12,495 miles, to 624,8571., showing an increase of 216 miles and • decrease of 17,911/.

SW,WER METEORS AND AEROLITEE.—Out of the large number of authentic aerolites preserved in minera logical collections, two only—one on the 10th of August, and one on the 13th of November—are recorded to have fallen on star shower data. On the other hand five or six meteorites, on the epoch 13th-lith of October. belong to a date when star-showers, so far as is at present known, do not make their appearance. Meteorites, more over, with very rare exceptions, fall in the afternoon but the time of the greatest frequency of alsooti-g stars I s is the morning hours of the day, before dawn. On these grounds a distinction is drawn between showermeteore and aerolites, and the former are termed by Professor Newton " Illeteoroids • while Professor Erayley includes both, or rather the bodies which become shower-meteors and acrolites, under his designation of " Meteoritic masses." Meteoroids, Professor Newton suggests, cannot be regarded as the fragments of former worlds, but may rather be described as the material from which new worlds are forming. Mr. Brayley inclines, in the same manner, to suppose that " the earth was originally produced by the aggregation and coalescence of meteorites, or of greater masers into which these had previously co:deiced.' Ruth abowermeteors, and aerolites, it my be, are gradually consolidating into larger bodie, by collition, yet nothing, it is thought, will cause the meteursof the fah of November to precipitate themselves in the form of stones mum the earth. Either from their inflammable nature, their micelle lightness, or loose texture, their power of peuetristing the atmosphere appears to be ex tremely small, notwithstanding their unusually large sine and brightness. Upwards of seventy meteors of the November shower observed at Newhaven, and at other places, in the United States of America in Ishl, were found to be fifteen miles higher than the level of ordi nary sbootaug , tars, the result suggesting to Professor Newton that the shooting-stars of the 14th November consist of more inflammable materials than those of other meteoric showers. No apprehension need aeounlingly be entertained, that the atuissiihem would Lot prove a per feet shield, in the event of a return of the 'bower. to check their penetration, and keep them at a ...fe distance from the sphere of Munan habitationa—Edirac. ,rot I:tc.taa, new number. THE AVTHHE or THE " CHI:IstIAN VLAI." De. Pr sea.-Our readers way be prsausiled to 11.110 W something of the controversy which has arisen in COSMO-. quenee of the alteration made in a well-known verse of the "Christian Year "—by desire, it is said, of the author on his death-bed. To us the wee painful part of the affair the defence which Dr. Purley sets up us behalf of his deceased friend for not having made the alteration earlier, on the ground that the expression " present in the heart, not in the hands," might be in terpreted ma-circling to the parallel of " I will have mercy and not sacrifice," as meaning " that the objective pre sence was of no avail, unless our Lord was niceived within the cleansed abode of the heart." "'This," says Dr. Pusey, "is plainly not the obvious meaning of the wonls ; but it satisfied him." (Timm Dec, 1:0, iuflt Thus it would seem that, according to his woe intimate friend!, Mr. Kehl° was, for perhaps thirty years, in the habit of explaining his own words to himself in an unnatural Wine, while he allowed them to go forth in hundreds of thou- NIU:KiI of copies with the knowledge that to all readers they would carry that "obvious meaning," which he had origi nally taken from Hooker, and which is alone consistent with the general drift of the poem. It is sad nuked to read such a statement, on such authority, as to one who has long been revered, not only throughout the English church, but far beyond its limits. -{porn rig Recd q, new number.
