THE MILITARY AND NAVAL REVIEWS. (From the A rniq tr."' Nur./ r;aytk.) The military review in I lyile-pork to be held by lot Maj,,ty on an early day in July is likely to be the oi,le,t affair of the kind witne-sed in London for many yea.. All the troops th it can he conveniently moaned to :arlor will he auctublea, and he , ddes a large force of t fiery from Woolwich. the ',flowing corps will probably 1.. n the ground:- -Steyr,' n-giments of cavalry—viz., the Id Life Guaras, Ist suet 4th Dragoon Guaira*, 3rd :in I 110 Dipolar% and 17th Liii,•cr, ; fourteen battalions ..1 infantry - namely, 2n.1 nn.l :tri battalions Grenadier 'marl+. tat battalion Coldstream Guards, and 2nd batta- I,on 5•;,44 Fusilier Guards, Ist battalion 18th Royal Irish, I:r .I Light Infar.tt/?, ilth. tdth, 74th, troth, and CAth Light Infantry. 711th an.l Ilighlanaers, and 80th Regiment... A royal pavilion on a large scale will be erected, and altogether, the review will be the event of the v,:ivon. Admiral Sir Thomas S. Paley, Bart., will, as the ronanander.iu-Chief at Portsmouth, have all the ships shish will take part in the naval review on the sth of July under his command ; hot as the Admiralty nag will he dein; on the occasion, he will, as a matter of course, be in immr,liate attendance on their lordships, and take his directions from them. The int,•n led naval review at Spithead on the l(th pro:. has already begun to excite considerable interest in Ports mouth, and at a meeting of the Town Council yesterday a committee was appointed to consider what steps should be taken to give local eclat to the event. The Mayor of l'ortanuuth offered the use of his residence at Southsea to the Sultan, but a communication from the Turkish minister in London announces that his royal highness will he the guest of the lords com missioners of the •t•lmiratty. The Victoria, 1?1, screw 6o•.•-decker, Commander Co Irington, which was under orders to dismantle and pay out of commission, has taken in a supply of coal and gone out to Spithead, where she will remain until the review takes place, and will not be 1.611 off until afterwards ; but one watch of the ship's company has been granted leave of she nee. The crew of the Resistance, 16. iron -clad, which was paid out of commission on Thursday, were ordered to report themselves on ho 011 the Duke of Wellington on th.• Nth proximo. The Black Prince, 40, iron screw frigate, whose crew is about to he turned over to the Warrior, for service on the coast of Ireland, will be temporarily manned by seamen belonging to the ships in harbour, supplemented by a detachment of about 150 officers and men of the Royal Marine Artillery. The A rmy 004 Nary Gazette is glad to say that an order will be issued from the War Office almost imme diately, for the payment of the extra 2d. a day to the non commissioned officers and men of the army. The increase of pay will date from the let of April, and the arrears from that day will be at once disbursed. The Se•etostor publishes to-day an analysis of the defence put forward by Admiral Ferman° for his conduct at Lisa. The gi+t of it is a statement that Vice-Admirals Albini and Yucca disobeyed orders, in refusing to allow their wooden ships to enter into the conflict against iinnourplated vessels, and the most extraordinary fact of the engagement, the sudden departure of the Aff mdatore, when she had effected nothing, remained unexplained. An amateur performance of Herr Schachncr's oratorio, " Israel's Return from Babylon," will be given at Exeter-hall on the :end of next month, for a charity. Two of the principal parts will be sung by a duchess and a bishop's lady. For the next Philharmonic Concert Mendels sohn's " Walpurgis Night" is announced, and Madame Arabella Goddard as solo player. The veteran Rossini; at the Palace of the Tuileries on Tuesday evening, presented to the Emperor Napoleon the score of his unpublished hymn, which is to he executed at the moment that the Sovereign enter the great nave of the Palace of Industry ea the Ist of July next, the day fixed for the distribution of the prizes of the Universal Exhibition. The execution of this piece is confided to M. Georges Hainl and his orchestra, M. Jules Cohen and his choruses, and N. Paulus an I his military band. The accompaniment, moreover, requires the aid of some enor mous belle and of cann,..n shot fired at intervals. The Sovereigns who are to make their entry to the sound of this formidable music are the Emperor and Empress of the French, the Emperor and Empress of Austria, the Sultan, the King and Queen of Portugal, the Viceroy of Egypt, and the King of Sweden. The A thenerli in repeats its disapproval of La Trarinta, as a story to be set to music, and its judgment that the selection of lamb a theme by a composer mark■ a prurient coarseness of taste which is sure to pervade the body of his works. "A more offensive opera•book could not he named ; and it is difficult to say whether the balance of disgust lies on the side of heroine or hero—not to speak of the ►Lomination of presenting physical no less than moral disease by the agency of a beautiful art. That any modest woman can prevail on herself to appear in the opera is not the least mond connected with the repulsise affair, seeing that if she to represent the character she must d o ff her modesty, and don the airs and the wiles of a siokly and sentimental courtesan." To-night bldlle. Nilsson will appear in the more gracious part of blarg.iritt in 'alga, with Signor Gardnni. The Waterford Standard states that the wrath of the populace broke out with such violence against the informer Corydon that the police had great difficulty in saving him while driving through the streets. The c►b was almost smashed with atones, and several of the escort were struck.

Tin ()AKA COLLIKRY. —Yesterday is meeting of the principal mining engineers of the kingdom was held at the office attached to the Oaks Colliery, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of opening out the slushy, with a view to the recovery of the bodies remaining in the mine. It was agreed that operation. should be commenced as soon as poseible. A oonaiderable bundler of widows were outside the office, and requested to see Mr. Woodhouse. On that gentleman coming down among them, one of them said that those present had re latives in the pit, and they were desirous of knowing what decision the eniciueers ha d re to. Mr. Woodhouse then addressed them in very feeling terms, stating that the engineers had agreed to open the pit without delay, but it was a work that could not be done so s oon , perhaps, as might be expected. It would take a considerable time to clear and reach the bodice, and he trusted they would con. tinue to hear with patience until that period arrived, as they might rut assured everything would be done in that direction as speedily as possible. The poor woman appeared much pleased on hearingthat the colliery was to be opened out, and the nee, soon spread through the Hoyle-mill and Barnsley, where a similar feeling _prevailed. Tun GhonsoP CONVENT. —Mr. James M'Donald, father to three of the girls who lately ran away from the r:IW.Ip Convent, and were sent by the Sheffield police to SbefS •Id Convent, writes to the 7'irises :—" The children at %mop are at school there as boarders ; some are mad for, others are taken in without charge. I bad four girls there, all paid for by rue. The three who n n away were the thirst, aged IT, 15, and II respectively. The fourth is aged% The three were sent to me from Sheffield, and 1 fetched the youngest from the school. lain not satisfied with the manner in which my children have been treated tecur.litig to their own account, which I have no reason to believe untrue, especially as what they my b borne out by the condition in which they were found. The Ndlor of Sheffield has treated the matter very lightly in his letter to the Secretary of St.te, calling it ' a very pretty story,' and' ouch ad., about nothing.' I will es, .!Y say that all my chidden had lice on their persons or clothing :one had sores; two have lost a great toe-nail each frees chilblains ; the youngest had the itch ; and they all eereplmin of harsh treatment. In the interests of the children emit by poor pan nts, and of orphans, I deem it my duty to express my c nut. Lion that the g irls are not the guilty parties which many seem willing to consider them, and that they had sufficient grounds for of inns to quit the school." THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 15, 1867. LAW INTELLIUENCIL (THIS DAY.) COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings in Sancta—(Retore Lord Chief Justice Born' and Justices Keating and South.) saistioa AND %VICE C. ICIAMELL. The defendant in this case was the owner of some land in Salford, which adjoined a strip of ground which was 11910.1 na a private pathway leading to the backs of a row of homes. The defendant, with the view of building, re moved the fence which enclosed his land, and dug a hole to put in the foundations. The plaintiff, Mrs. Howson, went on a visit to one of the row of houses, and after dark went out at the back, and fell into the hole, and was se verely hurt. The action was brought in the Salford Court of Record to recover damages for the injuries suffered, and the verdict was for the plaintiffs for 3.31. Sub sequently a rule was granted to show case why there should not be a nonauit or a new trial, and on that occasion it was 'submitted to their lonlships that though it was plain that if a man dig a hole close to • public way he was bound to fence it. yet there was no such obligation in reference to a private right of way. To-day cause was ',hewn against the rule being made absolute. Mr. Millward, Q.C., appeared to show cause and Mr. Russell to support the rule. The court, without giving judgment upon the location sulonittc.l to them held upon technical grounds in refer ence to pleading that they were bound to discharge the rule. Rule discharged. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) HANNAH r. HANNAH. Dr. Spinks, Q.C., and Mr. Patchett for the petitioner ; Mr. Searle for the respondent. Th respondent, a mining agent and broker at Broughton, near Manchester, and in London, married the petitioner in 1+44. The connection wee for come time happy enough, hut at length the petitioner discovered that her husband had an improper intimacy with another woman. Her friends frequently urged him to give it up, but be replied that though he was sorry for his wife and children he waa too fond of his paramour to leave her. Eventually he deserted the petitioner, and went to live in open adultery at Sydenham. Decree nisi with coats. Complainant—Mo. Prisoner-1 did sot st rike bor. Cee;96 7 -:1;;; at the station last night, when the complainant, almost in a state of nudity, came in. I went to the house, No. 6, Smith's-court, and learnt that the complainant had not been home when the affair took place more than an hour from her work. The prisoner, who was drunk, was lying down and pretended to be asleep. The complainant showed ins her breast, and it was blackened, and the pri soner seemed to rejoice in the circumstance that his wife bad no marks to show. I took the prisoner into custody, and having made inquiries of the neighbours, ascertained that in the past three weeks the prisoner had only given his wife 7s. to keep the home. Inspector Bowles—l know the wife as a bard-working woman, and the prisoner as a drunken man. Pr i,,,mer - She has been charged as much as I have. She was drunk two or three days this week. I was drunk last night, and when lam drunk lam mad. She knocked me shout, and I am nos going to be knocked about. Mr. Knox—Judging from appearances, your wife does not look like a drunken woman. . _ Complainant —He had Ms. to draw last Saturday, and ho left me to go to work without tasting food, and never gave me one penny for the children's food. Mr. Knox (to the prisoner)—After all I have heard, and what seems to be known of you, I can have no doubt what your conduct was last night. You say when you get drink you are mad, and I believe you. A more shocking story I never heard. Just imagine a child 11 years of age driven to defend his mother from his father. You are a drunken worthless man. You can earn good wages, and might ►ive in comfort and happiness, but instead of doing so you get drunk, act as you did ►ast night, and lead a •retched life. You will be imprisoned for three months with hard labour. WORSHIP-STUNT. TH POLICEMAN'S STORY. Win. Miller, John Beetling, 22, and Henry Beetling were charged with being concerned in breaking and entering the spirit cellar of the Red Lion and Spread Eagle public house, in High•street, Whitechapel, with felonious inten tion. The circumstances were narrated by Sergeant Dunaway, H division,off-hand, in the following style—Last night the landlord of the Spread Eagle came to the station-house and complained that persons bad been tampering with his cellar. My inspector directed me to watch, and I went to the house at half-past nine o'clock, and concealed myself oppo site the spirit celLr. About 11 o'clock, John Breslin; and Miller came down. Riesling went up a few steps to the spirit cellar, took off the padlock which he put in his pocket, went into the cellar, returned with a bottle, and then joined Miller in a urinal close by. I went upstairs and called the landlord, then ran down again, met the same men corning upend asked what they hadabout them,both said " Nothing." The landlord joined me by that time, and by my direction, he searched and found in the urinal this bottle full of something. The other Bresling then name down stairs, asked what was the matter, end said if anything was wrong he would pay for it. I said " There's no harm done at present, but there will be if you interfere." he said, "You knoverne, Sergeant Dunaway." and I said, " I do, and you know me, so stand back." I got on the stairs, and as John !keeling came towards me, I drew this staff —(a short brass one)—from my pocket, and said, " Now, if you move a step this w y I'll blow your brains out." (Laughter.) The landlord asked," What do want, ser geant r I said, " I want help." " And you shall have it," says he; at the same time running to the bar. "I'll send some." And he did : but they were friends of the prisoners—a lot of Irish men. (Laughter.) Then John Bresling said he would not stop any longer. I threatened to shoot him again with my staff, and backed all the way up stairs, he follow ing me, but on the top step I cocked my pistol—l mean my staff—at him direct, and said, " Now, another movement and I'll let go," and they All stood, Henry Bresling saying, "Go on, Jack, I don't believe that thing is loaded with anything but pratiee." Two plain-clothes constables came and I had all three prisoners taken to the station-house. Mr. W. C. Lingenschein, the landlord, identified the bottle of liquor in question, and Mr. Newton said he believed a heavy robbery would have been committed but for the sergeant. John Bresling must be imprisoned for three week ; the others had just escaped, and would be discharged. TRAM&.

Consols and some of the foreign stock■ have declined about per cent., and the transac tions in banking, financial, and miscellaneous shares show a preponderance of sales. Colonial government securities and Indian railway stocks, however, are steady, and home railways have im proved in a few cases. Attention is still chiefly di rected to London, Brighton, and South Coast stock, which has again been largely dealt in, and has experienced several fluctuations. Transactions were recorded this morning at 58, but the price has since recovered, and is now it per cent. better than yesterday. It is understood that the report of the committee of investigation will be issued this evening. The discount market is freely supplied with money to-day, and the demand is moderate. The quotation for good bills is 21 per cent. Consols are now quoted 94g to ~ ex div., for money, and 90 to 1, ex div., for the account (July 10) ; and the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 934 to I. Foreign stocks are dull, and a decline of 1 per cent. has occurred in Spanish Passive, the Com mittee's Certificates, and Mexican. Turkish Five per Cents. of 1885 are quoted 341 to ; Greek, 15g to g ; Spanish Passive, 231 to 24 ; ditto Certifi cates, 14 to ; Italian of 1861, 514 to 52i ; and Mexican, 16/ to 17. Financial shares are inactive. London Finan cial are quoted 19 to 18 dis. International Finan cial, 11 to 11, dis. ; General Credit, 15 to 1/ dis. ; and Credit Foncier, 5/ to 55 die. In the market for Bank shares, Alliance are 10a. lower, at 85 to 8 dia. Imperial Ottoman are quoted 4to I dia., being 2s. 6d. worse ; Union of London, 43 to ; and London and Westminster, 106 to 108. American securities and Atlantic Cable shares are quiet, but the 6-20 Bonds have improved 5 per cent., viz., to 735 to /. Erie Railway shares are quoted 40 to 5 ; Illinois Central, 79 to ; Anglo- American Telegraph, 18k to ; and Atlantic Tele graph 8 per cent. preference, 45 to 5. The liquidators (Messrs. A. Young and John Ball) of the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association (Limited) have just issued a report with respect to the affairs of that undertaking. The liabilities on which dividend is now pay ible amount to 2,095,0401., while the assets are returned at the nominal sum of 3,014,6231., but the bulk of the securities represented in this last item are not realisable at present. It is proposed that the remaining 15s. in the pound, with interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the entire debt, shall be discharged by six equal half-yearly instalments, the first to be paid on the 15th of January, 1868. The directors of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway announce that, at the request of the committee of investigation, both the special general meetings now adjourned to Tuesday, the 18th inst., will be held on that day only pro forma for the purpose of being further adjourned to Tuesday, the 25th instant. With reference to the Great Eastern Railway Company it is announced that the Wharncliife meeting on the 18th inst., on the finance bill, will be held only pru formtl, as the bill will not be ready for consideration on that day. The ordinary general meeting of the Lower Assam Company (Limited) will be held on the 24th inst. Two o'Ctock. Console are slightly firmer, at 941 to }, ex div., for money, and 941, ex div., for the account. The fall in the Brighton stock is solely due to rumours that the forthcoming report of the com mittee of investigation will be very unsatisfactory. Even if this expectation be realised, however, it is evident, from the extent of the fall, that it has been largely discounted. Moreover, it must be remembered that even the issue of an un favourable report, under existing circumstances, is not without its compensation. For months past the proprietors have been crying out for a clear and truthful statement ; in other words, they have demanded to know the worst, and the forth coming report of the committee, if rumour is accurate, will tell them the worst. But, when things are at the worst, the proverb says they are not far off mending ; and there is this important feature, that any adverse revelations which may be made appertain to a past mismanagement, and to an administration which has been put an end to. In other words, in the case of this company, the process of purification has commenced. Meanwhile, the undertaking enjoys still to the full the monopoly of transit assigned to it by its parliamentary powers, and, as is proved by its magnificent income, the property remains a fine one, despite all the drawbacks resulting from past errors. About 97,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yesterday. At Paris and Frankfort the rate of discount in the open market is 2 per cent. being slightly be low that quoted here, while at , Hamburg it is only At Vienna and Turin the rate is 5 ; at Am sterdam, 3 ; at Berlin, 2} ; at Brussels, 2} ; and at St Petersburg, 8 per cent.

MADRAS MILITARY FUND.--Since the transfer of the military funds to the office of the Secretary of State for India, the question of the appropriation of the surplus of the Madras Military Fund in • manner favourable to the sutocribers and their families has been under consideration, and has now been decided. The satisfactory position of that fund which was reported on by the actuaries, Messrs. Brown, Hardy, and Col. Smith, has enabled her Majesty's govern ment to concede nearly all the recommendations asked for by the directors. The 10 per cent. increase on donations and subscriptions imposed in 1844 was discontinued in 1804, and the following additional benefits have been now gnuited,viz., The extra donation for daughters is to be reduced from 282 n. to 200 rs. The donations of widowers with offspring are to to reduced to bachelor's rates. All demands on ac count of minimum are to be abolished. And daughters hereafter born will be allowed to revert to their pensions on becoming widows. An addition of S per cent. will be made to all widow's pensions.—Allen's Indian Mail.

Upon en. tering the house the officers found a number of men talk ing about • fight that had just come off between two game cocks. They tried to make their way upstairs to the garret, where they understood there was a cock-pit, but they were prevented for a time owing to the door at the bot tom of the stairs being locked. Upon their knocking, however, Mrs. Jackson came and opened the door, when • large number of men rushed from the place. The officers then went upstairs and entered a bedroom, where they found the landlord and a number of other men, and in the room were eight game cocks in pens. One of them was nearly dead, having evidently just been engaged in fight and received severe injuries. In another bedroom they found nine more cocks together with • dead one, which had been killed, probably in a fight with the wounded one in the other room, and thrown into the grate where it was co vered with paper. In yet another room eleven more cooks were found, making V. Meantime the chief constable had arrived with such men as he could obtain, nearly the whole force being at the racecourse, and they went up to the garret, when they found the cock-pit, but it had evidently been newly cleaned out. There were • number more men here. A cart was procured, upon which the pens containing the birds were placed, and conveyed to the Town Hall, amidst the loud remon strances of their owners. The poor birds have all been prepared for fighting by paring their hind spurs to admit of replacing them with steel ones, by the cutting of their combs, and by clipping their wings. The names of • number of the men in the house are known to the police, by whore , probably. proceedinge will be taken again 4 them. —Manchester Examinee.
