Jusr as Mrs. HOPLEY had been ordered back to her husband with the compliments of Sir Jamas Wrtnr, another husband of a widely different stamp had "constituted himself," to use his own words, "Judge of the Divorce Court," by committing sui cide in Nnnhesd Cemetery upon his mother's grave. This man, J sins W nal •If TRIRTE, had behaved very badly to his wife and child, having first, by his own culpable act, rendered himself unable to pro vide for them, and then turned them out upon the world. Before destroying his own life he addressed a letter to his "dear wife" full of ex pressions of affection, of the genuineness of which there is no reason to doubt, so compatible is mere good sentiment with unprincipled conduct. This letter, which we published on Tuesday, is a psycho. logical curiosity. Addressing his wife at a most solemn moment, when the most confirmed affectations might be expected to give way to sim plicity and nature, he is the "individual who writes " these lines." Committing suicide is "taking the " liberty of taking a view of the future state of "society." He talks of " first love ripening into " manhood's devotion," and then in the coolest manner devolves the care of his wife and children upon friends, relations—anybody—bringing in also the doctrine of Providence, a revelation vouchsafed to sustain and encourage men in honest exertion, to excuse his cowardice. " I "go to see my mother"—no misgiving as to the best of welcomes awaiting in another world one who was basely deserting his post, and leaving those whom he was by every consideration bound to protect to want and suffering. "You remain "to look after the boy"—the deserter readily appointing the duties of others in the field which he abandons. " GOD will raise up for you what I " wanted—friends :" this from the man who bad' deservedly forfeited a good situation by absenting I himself from its duties, who had been assisted and advised by his wife's friends, although he spent in intemperance the money that ought to have been devoted to the support of his family. Then he vaunts his courage in quitting the world in which he had played so miserable a part, and leaving his wife to fight her own battle. He quotes SHiXESPELHE and Bri.woi, from which, we hope, no writer of able articles will draw inferences unfavourable to those eminent authors, and then in the most complacent manner declares—he too— that he " has followed reason and not vice," and that his faults have been those of the bead, not those of the heart. It is easy to see on what food this man's mind had fed, in what school his views of life and its duties were formed—easy to mark in his letter the facility with which a sophistical and self-deceiving heart draws from literature, phi losophy, and religion itself, and wrests and appro priates to its own mean purposes, ideas which, ac cepted in their true character, might have guided it in the path of honour and safety. But the moral is as old as the world : teach what you will, men will learn what they please. THE Bishop of OXFORD 'a Bill, relating to Divine Worship in Public Schools, adopted so lightly by the Lords, has failed in the Commons, where it encountered a serious disposition to examine its character and tendency. The Bill was withdrawn yesterday after a short discussion, which, how ever, was long enough to show that the subject ought not to be legislated on without farther inquiry. Mr. II ARDVESTLE pointed out features in the measure which we cannot conceive the House of Commons as sanctioning except by inadvertence. The Bill has a much larger scope than is generally supposed. It has been re commended chiefly by approving reference to the experience of the great public schools, and to the advantage which the boys have derived from such religious teaching as that of ARNOLD at Rugby and VA VGHEN at Harrow, in the chapels of those foundations. But, in point of fact, the Bill applies, as Mr. HARDCASTLE showed, not to them but to the ordinary grammar schools throughout the country. These schools are attended fur the most part by boys who live with their parents, and who at present worship with them on Sundays in the parish churches or elsewhere. Under the Bill this natural and salutary practice would come to an end, for one of its provi sions is that the children shall be taken from under their parents' control on Sundays, and required to attend the school chapel, where their parents would have no right to be present. Sir GroßnE GREY, referricg to this feature of the Bill, observed that it had excited a good deal of " exaggerated " alarm" among Nonconformists, a piece of parlia mentary fastidiousness which we do not pretend to understand : but if this Bill should be intro duced to the House of Commons next year, Sir GEORGE GREY will find that the objections to it are as strong on the part of Churchmen as on that of Nonconformists. Parents, whether they attend church or chapel, will require to know why their children are to be withdrawn from religious services that are open to public observa tion, and dealt with apart in private chapels. The Bill appears to have been introduced for no other purpose than to give a more absolute and decidedly ecclesiastical character to schools the usefulness of TEE.

WZDNISDAT EVL^flllO. Upon the event of the day, the arrival of the King of the Belgians in Paris on his way to Vichy, the Pays prelecte as follows : M. de Moltke, M. de Bismark. and M. de Recbberg are about to meet in conference at Vienna, to regulate lively the respective situations of the Danish monarchy and the Germanic Confederation. There can now be no doubt that these three statesmen will put an end to a con flict which has already oust too much blood and money. But it always happens that when facts repose imagination begins to work. That is the case at the present moment. The King of the Belgians has been or dered by his physicians to go to Vicby for hie health. Leopold follows this advice. He has arrived in Paris simply as a private gentleman ; be has paid • visit of courtesy to the Empress EugCnie at the Palace of Bt. Cloud. All thst as we see, is extremely simple. Well the King is going, if he be not already gone, to Vichy. There he will naturally see Napoleon 111., since his Imperial Majesty is there at this time—also for his health. But, of course, it is too much to expect that people will believe in the possibility of two sovereigns meeting at a watering. place merely in obedience to direction from the faculty of medicine! It could not be otherwise than that • whole heap of hypotheses and conjectures should be built upon this fortuitous coincidence. We will not trouble our readers with all the absurd things which the journey of the King of the Belgians to Vichy, while the Emperor of the French is there, hag suggested to sews mongers of every class and every country. We do not pre triad to say that no politics pill be talked by the two sovereigns. But most aneuredly nothing ma be more unlike • premeditated conference than this accidental renoontre. In any case the conversation between their Majesties need not cause any uneasiness to the friends of peace and civilisa tion, or the partisans of impels and liberty. DroCiyn de LhUys; who, it was announced, would return from Vichy to-morrow, is to stay till Saturday, so that he will ass King Leopold there. _ _ The Preen announces that after his visit to the Chalons camp in the latter part of this month the Emperor will go on to Baden-Baden, where the Duchess of Hamilton's villa is already being pee pared to receive him. The King of Prussia will also be at Baden at the same time. I deresay the Pays will tell us in due course that this rencontre also is fortuitous and attributable to the faculty of medicine. I understand that the Minister of Public Works has addressed a circular to the railway companies urging upon them the necessity of adopting some mode of communication between passengers and the guards of trains in order to protect the public against such events as the murder of Mr. Briggs. It is not true, as I have seen it stated in some Eng lish papers, that such communication exists in France already. The guard can, indeed, walk along the broad ledge outside the carriages while • train is in motion, but he very seldom does except to collect tickets. The Bourse is firmer, but there is little business doing. Rente rose sc. for cash and account, closing at 66fr. 20c. and 66fr. 26c. Mobilier rose 7fr. 50c. The monetary aitutation continues to excite attention, and bankers ask high rates for dia connt. All eyes are now turned to the Bank of England. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.)

As I anticipated, the present meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society is likely to prove one of the most succesdel on record as regards the number of persons who will visit it. This must be attri buted, not to the intrinsic merits of the show re garded from an agricultural point of view, but to those manifold influences which work upon people to congregate together on occasions like the present, and especially to the weather, which has been magnificent up to the present time. On Monday there were 720 visitors at the show yard, and the amount of money received was 3601. Yesterday the number of visitors was 10,224, and the amount taken was 1,2781. At the Worcester show last year the number present on the Monday was 811, and the money taken was 4041. On Tuesday the number present was 7,685, and the money taken 9601. The total number of visitors at Worcester on the two first days of the show was 8,496, and the total sum taken was 1,3641. ; the total number of visitors on the two first da ys at Newcastle has been 10,944, and the total sum taken 1,6381. There have been Nana 2,448 more visitors at the show this year than there were last, and there has been 2741. more taken this year than there waxiest. The sum taken yesterday was only 61. short of the sum taken at Leeds in 1861, which was the best attended show the society ever held. These figures are very significant, and the people of Newcastle are very jubilant at the result ; but, in justice to Worcester, I must observe that the show there was held at a later period of the year, and from my own personal ex perience I can affirm that the weather was very wet and cold. Indeed, considering the state of the weather during the period for which the show was held, I consider the results obtained at Worcester last year to be very satisfactory. To-morrow the first of the shilling days begins, and if the weather continues so be as genial as it has been hitherto there can be no doubt as to the pecuniary success of the present meeting. Mr. Hedley, the mayor of Newcastle, has issued a notice calling on the shopkeepers, cbc., to close their places of business at 12 o'clock, so that the working class who have not 'hitherto gone near the show may have an opportunity of seeing it. The show ground yester day presented a very animated and brilliant appear ance. The horse ring was the principal point of attraction. The horses were exercised at 11 and at 3 o'clock, and although the action of " Laugh ing Stock," of " Cavendish," of " Gamester," of " Oarbineer," of "Motley, " the snooessful hunting stallion, and of the pretty ponies, was greatly ad mired, th#more beautiful and effective sight was the circle of fine ladies, who in ranks three deep surrounded the exercise ground. Their bright and variegated summer toilettes gave • brilliancy to the scene which was very striking. The prominent animals in the difirent classes attracted much at tention, and in some instances the soundness of the judges' decisions was demurred to. In one instance, believe, • protest has been entered against their award. Judges of horseflesh cannot escape the remarks of that omniscient critic, the public, any more than judges on the bench, but the public are always satisfied if the decision be honest and conscientious. The exercise grounds for the various classes of cattle short horns, Herefords, Devon', &c.—were also well attended. The short-horned class was much ad mired, and pronounced to be very superior. As these ponderous besets moved heavily over the ground, tottering under their masses of flesh, one could not but envy the neighbouring pigs that would not or could not move, and lay in a sort of comatose, dreamy state of indolent felicity, which was expressed occasionally by a gurgling grunt. The machinery department, during the intervals that the cattle were not on show, was also well attended, but here there was such smoke and dust and artificial heat, combined with that of the sun, that visitors did not prolong their inspection, but retreated after a cursory glance at its contents. The town itself presented • very animated appear ance. Flags and banuera, of which there was a re markable absence previous to Monday, are more generally exhibited, and the rattle of cabs and omnibuses along the streets is continuous from morning till night. Newcastle has one great central station, and the traffic at this point is enormous— people passing and repaasing without a moment's interruption throughout the day and part of the night. Yesterday men wore at work making ad ditional and special entrances to the booking offices. The amount and variety of the advertisementa on the walls would of itself form no un interesting or unphilosophic study. They are on paper of every hue and in letters of every size, but there is one which is more prominent than all the others put together. If one was to proceed on the Baconian theory of induction, and draw a gene ral conclusion from the multiplicity of posters in which you are told to "beware of pickpockets," there is not a visitor to Newcastle who would have more than two pockete, mid in these be would keep his hands everlastingly. "Beware of pickpockets" meets you as you enter the town, it meets you as you leave the towo ' it meets you in the streets, on the quays, it meets you on the " pleasure steam boats—a dirty and abominable conveyance to Tyne mouth, but suited tothe atumephereof lurid smoke in which they travel ; it meets you at the wharves ; it meets you, in fact, so often that if only taken at their word a Diogenes with even a lime-light lamp would scarcely find an honest man in the place. The author of the famous phrase "la pro pri6ti; c'est le vol " regarded it as a formula which he prized more than he would the wealth of the Rotbschilds, and he seems to have a good many followers "down north." About the show ground reside numerous " dwellers in tents," each with the " best " comestible, to be had in New castle. Contiguous to the same place there have been added to the attractions of the It. A. S. show the competing, or rather the supplemental, attrac tions of a dog show and a poultry show. The dog show is the first of the kind which has been held in Newcastle. It is not for a mowed to be compared with these which have been held in the Agricultural hall, but it is worth seeing, and it contains some very fine specimens of the canine race. In some respects it is exceedingly full and excellent. The setter, pointer, and Newfoundland classes are largely represented ; and the greyhound depart ment, if not so numerously filled as it might be, is occupied by at least a couple of animals good enough to be placed before any connoisseur. Har riers are unrepresented, and beagles only partially ; but of foxhounds there is a capital collection, but the bull-dog only appears in a few anything but first-class specimens. There are three dogs which are worth going miles to see—Mr. John A. Cowen's magnificent Druid, • bloodhound that is just perfect in every particular ; Sir William G. Armstrong's boar-hound Gari baldi ; and the first prize in the Newfoundlands, Heenan, a picture of a dog. It is the easiest thing imaginable for the owner of is dog who is not wish ful to sell to put a fancy price upon the animal ; but if some of the dogs in this show are worth 1,0001., the one we have just mentioned is certainly worth the price put upon him, namely, 1001. The poultry and pigeon show I have not visited. It seems very absurd to ask se. for visiting a show of this kind even on a first day, especially with such competitive attractions in the neighbourhood. However there are those who may prefer a crow to a bark or a neigh, and there must be a place for all tastes.

But to morrow, if the weather continues fine, will be the great popular day, and vast are the preparations which are being made to meet the wants of the many thousands who are expected.

This morning Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex coroner, resumed, at the Three Cape Tswana, High-street, Bow, to inquiry, respecting the death of • newly born female child, which had bees thrown away by order of the mother, a married woman. Dr. Henry Hance said that on last Sunday week he was called in to attend Mrs. Qoldworthy. She was delivered of a female child of between Ave tad six months. The child was born dead. No certificate was asked for. The mother asked wither, „ What is to he does with this." Witness said, "Thu is a minarriage—l do not suppose • certi ficate ia asesseary. Dig a hole two feet deep in the garden." Witness did rot think it was wrong to make each a remark on the matter. It was a common practice for medial men to let the bodies of still-born children be buried in back gardens. The Coroner said that the practice was a most dangerous out If the bodies of stillborn children were allowed to be buried in the back gardens of the houses in the metro polis, great facilities would be given for the commission of the crime of infanticide. Mrs. Donahue was then called, and having been cautioned by the (wooer, deposed that her real name was Charlotte Harvey, and that she resided at No. 5, Thontas•strest, Stepney. She was a person living on her mato& She was not a nurse. She attended Mrs. Goldsworthy as a friend. The deceased was at first buried is the garden. On Tuesday the rata came about the garden, and I landlord of the hones in which Mts. Goldsworthy lived said that the body " must be dug op." The body was taken up on the following Thursday. A consultation was held in order to ascertain what was to be done with the body. Mrs. Goldworthy said to witness " Drop it in the canal." Wittman bad never dose such a thing before, but she did pot think that it was wrong. Wit wr was afraid to drop it is the canal. Skis deposited the box ma the grass by the aided the canal, in order that the' body might's° wombed away by the morning tide. There was nothing wring in that. A Juror—Nothing wrong! Perhaps not is Calcutta, but it certainly is in England. The Coroner said that the ooroom's court could not prose cute in such a case. That was a duty for the polies. Dr. Hume said that the medical protessioo wilted par ticularly to know if stillborn children required oirtifimites. The coroner, having summed up, the jury, after a long deliberation, returned the following verdict :—" That the doomed child was found dead in a certain box, and the jurors say that the said child was stillborn. and the said jurors further say that ie their opinion great blame attaches to the medical man in thin case, as to his not beefing given a certificate the whole of this unfortunate occurrence is due." _ _ Dr. Hence rid that, attar that verdict, the medical pre tension would know what to do in the ow of still-bora children. The proceedings thew terminated. As Mrs. Charlotte Harvey was leaving the cancer's court, she was arrested by Sergeant George Atkins, 463 K, on the charge of " exposiog the dead body of a °Natalia female child M a certain public place by the side of the Regent's Oanal, to the danger of the public health." She was instantly removed to the Bow police-station, where she was charged with the above offence. The pri mmer seemed to feel her position acutely. ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY. Yesterday an accident, which might have resulted in very serious imasequenoes, took place ►t the Darlington station of the North Eastern Railway Dempsey. It appears that • special train, consisting of an engine, tender, and one carriage, had brought Lord Weslock from Castle Barnard for the purpose of meeting the Scotch I express to Loudon at Darlington. While shunting, or pre ! paring to get on the return line, the Scotch express, heavily laden, appeared in sight, and Woes it could be brought to a steed it struck the Castle Bernard train, breekieg the only carriage which belonged to it. The seems, and fire man had time to jump off, and thus escaped injury. Why this obstruction ■honld have been allowed to remain for a single moment on the up line with a keow ledge that the express from Scotland was overdue by 15 minutes is • matter that should be strictly imputed into. Fortunately Darliegtoo is one of the stations at which the Scotch exprem stops, and therefore it was moving slowly as it neared the statioe. Had the obstruction occurred at one of the statloos which the trait puss' at fall speed the coesequences might have been very disastrous. The Duke of Baocleach and other distinguialied visitors to the Agricultural Show at Newcastle were passeogeve in the train. THE BIBLZWOMENtB HOLIDAY. —(Faost A CORRE arommarr.)-oe. the morning of Wednesday week. the 13th instant, • dozen vans crowded with nestle-dressed women started from the alums of London ; sot • few were the ealutationa given in parties, and many • hearty " Fine day to ye, mime," as they left the purlieus of St. Giles's, Imre from the months of ooeter girls and boys ; another two hours more found them at the village of Leytoc, which bad been astir since early morning to receive them. The vase with their 200 occupants turned into the grounds of Mr. J. Gurney Barclay, where, as is the wont on such oocasioss, they were soon heated with substantial and inviting ebeer. This finished, they wandered through shrubbery paths, and pawed one by one in front of a bow window, from which an invalid lady distributed to each a shawl, and they then broke op into knots to enjoy the sensitize beds and conservatories and fern houses. Others formed them selves into little companies under the shadow of the large trees. During the afternoon many of those Interested in their missions arrived, until the large park was thickly sprinkled with the brighter draws of their lady friends, among whom were nearly two hundred of their superieteedeets, these who really bear with them the heat and border of their work, sad meet continually in the mothers' clam* those poor creatures whom they gather in from the loom and the alleys to their quiet mission rooms. whence Is shed abroad • new and reforming influence, each lady having a special care of one bible-womaa, and rendering her all the daily aid and encouragement that en educated Christian can to her poorer sister.

(THIS DAY.) COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Man the Judge Ordinary.) HILL O. HILL. -11HICIAL JURY. The Qttestem Ad Mete and Dr. Vi ambey for the petitioner; Yr. Kerslake, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks for the respondent. In this case only four of the special jurors answered to their Dimes. Dr. Spinia thereupon prayed a tales. Sir It. Phißimers objected to have the came tried by am but jurors. 7T gir J. ai de laid that either party war entitled to a Wee. The use therefore proceeded. It was the petition of Mn. Anne Maria Hill, the wife of Mr. George Hill, for • judicial separation on the ground of desertion. The re. spoodent denied that he had separated himself from his wife without just cause, and charged her with adultery with two different persons, on account of which he pr.ye/ for a judicial 'operation. The petitioner denied the offence imputed to her. Mrs. Hill stated her case as to the desertion u follows : lam the daughter of the late Lieut.-Colonel Hawtrey, the 4th Royal Hugel Cavalry. When I was eight years of age my father died. I then lived with my mother Lod other members of my family at Stoke Newiogtoo. In 1842 I went to Margate, where I met with Colonel Lyster, wh o made proposals of marriage to me. I was then only 18 years of age. There was a ceremony of marriage bet Ween us in Wales. It was in a room. I lived with Colonel Lys. tar as hie wits, but I afterwards discovered that he had a wife living. Colonel Lyster died in March, 1 , 48. I had by him a daughter named Emily. At Colonel Lyster's death I was left with very slender means, and I went shortly afterwards to my brother in I odia. In December, 1848, I became acquainted with Mr. George Hill, my present husband, in Calcutta. Shortly after that he made proposals of marriage to me. Be fore we were married I told him everything re• spieling my emulsion with Colonel Lyster. He laid that it wor ld make so differeoce. He told me that, after he had taken a day to consider. I was married to him in the name of Anna Maria Hawtrey Lyster, widow. My husband bad a situation in the Treasury. He was bead assistant of the military board in the AccountaoteGetieral's office in the presidency of Bengal. We never lived happily My first child (a boy) was born on the :T ib or May, 1848, in Calcutta. At the end of 1850 I wee ordered to England, and I bad a daughter born on board the reseed on her voyage. When I reached Eoglaod I went to my aunt's, and 1 had also a letter of introduction to a family named Warwick, with whom I afterwards lived on terms of great intimacy. I wally returned to my husband in Calcutta. We got on together much about the same es before. I Mae to England again in 1852 ; but I stayed here only six weeks. My husband wrote to me to return to him, and that was the reason why my stay was so sheet. H e rid he could not live without me. In 1854, he obtained his pianion ; and we all set out to come to England in the logo. On the voyage he treated me with the greatest suspicion and jea lousy. I left the !ago at the Mauritius ; and Mr husband sod child proceeded to England. After staying at the Man. rititis for a week, I returned to Calcutta, where I stayed with my brother, and wish the Bev. Me. Fisher (who had married me to my husband). I returned to England in November, 1854. I first went to Mrs. Glasaington, my nurse's, house, in Sloane-street ; and then to my mamma's at Portsmouth. At the booming of May, 1855, my husband sent for me to meet him in Greeuwich•park. We met accordingly, and I returned to cohabitation with him is the middle or at the sod of that month. I °manned to live with him till August, 1957. At that time we were staying at the Great Western Hotel. My husband said that he wished to go to Germany alone, and that I had better go to Sandgate for era bathing. He told me that at first he had thought of taking me, but that he had changed his mind. We went together to Folkestone, and then he sent me on to Sand. gate. He gave me 20/., and promised to write to me, but be never did. I stayed at floodgate for 12 mouths at the house of Mr. Jenner. I never sew my husband again till I saw him in the Court of Common Pleas, where an action was brought by Mr..l to recover for necessaries supplied to me. He allowed me 1001. a year. We were on better and more affectionate terms than usual when we parted. He kissed me. I have never lived with him 'Mee. I have repeatedly written to him, tied have tried to see him, but he would cot allow me. Sir J. P. Wilde enzgested that as both parties wished for a judicial separation, and as It wee Dot likely that they would live together spin, it would be bettor to avoid the painful exposures which seemed likely to take place. It would, therefore, be desirable, if possible, that there should be a private arrangement. The legal advisers of the parties therefore conferred. and in the course of an hour they antioutioed that they had effected a settlement of the ease. Some considerable time, however, was 'peat in arrauging the details, and the learned conceitl bad an interview with his lordship in his private morn with regard to some disputed points. The jury was then dismissed without giving a verdict. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Creedburn.) Ix RE DAVID RAT.
