In 1860 she left on walla of his conduct to her, and she now prayed fora judicial w aration on the grounds of cruelty and adultery. The latter charge, however, was the only one insisted upon, and evidence was given of adultery with servants b o th before and after the separation. The respondent, besides denying the charge, pleaded a counter-allegation of adultery against his wife. This was supported by one witness, who was not corroborated, and evidence to rebut was given by the daughter of the petitioner and other witnesses. [The cause was proceeding when our report left.) POLICE COURTS.-(TIIIS DAY.) WANDSWORTEL CASI OT ALLTILD CRUELTY TO A ITITANT VTA•ORDIN•IIT ADMISSIONS. Mr. Salary Henry Taylor and Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor, re. siding at No. 5, Pcarson-street, Orove-road, Battersea, *gain attended before Mr. Ingham to farther answer the summonses which shamed them with cruelty to Sarah Widght, a young girl who entered their vendee in March last from the t , auth Metropolitan school at Sutton, whereby her lip ilth was likely to be permanently Injured, and with neglecting to provide &scenery food, clothing, and lodging te her. Mr. Poland supported the summonses on behalf of the guardians of the Greenwich union, and Mr. Wright, in structed by Mr. Haynes, of Wandsworth, appeared for the defendants. The girl was now eronexamined, and stated that she had suffered from boils and rashes, and while the de fendant. were living at Peckham she elopt in a bed with their children and communicated the rash to them. When at Battersea she slept on a mattress in the kitchen, becalm she hail tails. Mrs. Taylor paid her a great deal of attention when she found the state she was in, and one d a y she told her to give up all work and sit quietly by the fire. She sent for some medicine, a new laid egg, which s he gave her, and a calf's foot, and made some jelly for her. She had been very delicate all through life. She never com,dained of the way Mrs. Taylor treated her. s'e did not complain to other parsons, as she WO , not let nut. She nod drr bread on some occasions for Many I dues Mn. Taylor had threaten o .1 to send her back to school if she did not do her work properly, when she erica and hewed of her not to do so, as she wished to stay. She never complained to Mrs. Taylor that she had not enough to eat. ou Icing re-examined, she said that when Mrs. Taylor thre dined to send her back, she told her that the matron would put her into a bucket of water. Mrs. Taylor used t o ley her down in *.lie parlour and pour water over her Lest. She did that about three times. )2r.

LATEST PARTICULARS.--(THIS DAY.) Another examination of the line where tho engine fat left the rois to the spot where it rolled over the iolonktnent was made this morainic, and addi tional proof wxs afforded of the damage which w a s done. The bridge, which carries the lines of the li ighton COMP-USj and those of the West London Extension and the London, Chatham, and Dover, has been Could to be eensidetahly damaged. • large portion of its tenhor work was Woken to pieces by the wheels of the en4ine and earrieges immediately after they left the rails. The ironwork, however, is apparently uninjured. The exact cause of the accident has nut yet been ascertained ; but the prec.tihng opinion seems to be that it is attri butable to Isom, fadlt in the rail' on the permanent way. The driver of the train, Harrison, is stated to be better this morning. His injuries are chiefly in the hack and legs, hut with the ezoepUon of causing him great pain, it in believed they will not rove merlons. His escape from what appeared to 1. certain d. nth is attributed to his remaining at his post hd the vagine lu ll over the clishankment, and then be h• 61 ..n firmly till, on being knocked from the footpl►te by concussion, he was pitched to within a yard of where II.• sniAine lxy.

THE DANGER-1 OF THE STEN= AND THE Thiguilltat OF THE OCEAN. —In 1851, an old-fashioned, op ,n, sit-ton mackerel boat was decked in Mount's Bay, 04 sailed for Melbourne.

It is equally true that the glow en Carlyle's face is that of sunset. In other words. Milton belongs to the beginning of an age, Carlyle to tie erol of an age. Carlyle's despair was produced in bin by his failure to find in the society around him the forces necessary to supply the place of those that were dying. Everywhere he thought he saw institutions in decay, a languid society lining upon conventionalisms, and, instead of convictions, having only opinions, which they held because they had never beard the other side. Efforts there were at reformation, coariderable improve nts here and there, but not the mighty and nnireral enpulse that be believed to be needed. He saw no pro- Icrtion between the work to be done and the forces that sere at hand to do it. But Milton lived in a golden age of Lys and energy. There was throughout the nation • coa t 4enee of strength, a readiness few great and stirring deeds. rebind them lay two great ages, the age of reformation and the Elizabethan ago. Nearly a century of epiritnal freed om , many years of glory an d prosper i ty, and • newly acquired treasure of literature, bad enlarged their minds and filled them with confidence. They intended to add • third grea t age to the two greet ages that had passed, They I Pressed on, as Milton_ says, to reform reformation. And succeeded, not indeed in all that they attempted, but , o opening • new age. The reaction did not completely no to their work ; the impulse they had given never died !cit completely. They let in • flood of new rigour, both thtu government and Guitars ; they inaugurated • limo of responsible government, free literature, religions 'Aeration. Bet in time these new forces too were oat, cod this period In its tam drew to an end. Carlyle hes hi% life been watching its decay. It has not fallen to 1... s lot to use the language of hope or exulting expectation. The gladness of Milton's style would not nit bins. me ttierenee is not so much in the men as in their position.— trof essor Seeley.

LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE LINCOLN SHADOWS AND COMING EVENTS. TO TIM EDITOR OF TOM IMMO& Sts,—lt has long been a maxim, even among en thusiasts and professionals, that the turf season com mences too early and closes too late ; bat the promoters of the "inanition* " have invariably a good answer to the old saw—that they are successful ; and to sea the lugs crowds of horses performing day after day " last back-end," and then again at Lincoln during the past two days, one might reasonably come to the °occlusion that certain patrons of the turf would gladly keep the game alive all the year round. Before to-morrow's sun seta, we shall have had such • bustling week as would do honour to the times when sportsmen of the spe culative type art in the height of their glory, for steeplechasing is going on at Moreton.in-the-Marsh, as I write, as is also the mixed business at Harrow, and, clash ing with the second day in the metropolitan district, we shall have the double-supplement to Lincoln in the shape of Boston steeplechases and Mansfield flat races, indepen dently of the fin.de to the coursing gathering at Altair that has excited so much general interest since the betting public took to the Waterloo Cup. Further feeding greedy appetites, comes the startlingly bad news that the Oxford and Cambridge boat race is not likely to come off this year; and Lord Jersey's horses have not been sold many hours before it is known the Duke of Beaufort intends to sell out also. Here is matter, indeed, for sporting pens to make capital I of, and bow gratefully it would have been received some few weeks ago, in the dull time when the wildest rumours would be graved to write columns about ! It is to be feared the statements herein made are too true, and that the stud of the Danehury Duke will be sold se sorely as were the forty-one lots just knocked down at Tattersall'', although his grace does not intend to take leave of the turf altogether. This team will sell well—far better, anyhow, than Lord Jersey's, some rare bargains having beau picked up by some of the judges last Monday. through the want of • " reserve "—and the Chester Cup engagement makes Viridis worth • trifle. The recent decline of this filly in the betting—es much as 30 to being offered —is now explained ; and it is only • pity the cause is such a serious ono, for it may be far more fatal than anything that has yet happened to Rosicrucian and Typhoeus, the three year olds, whose turn it has been to get behind a cloud since my last. The transactions with reference to the future were blank at Lincoln, professionals and pleasure-seekers having to work early and late to enjoy the brilliant meeting— preceded by a great fire and concluded by water—and the London movements, since Monday, have not been at all startling, Chimney Sweep and Aleibiadesimply " coming " —as they have threatened to do for some time, and as Astrolabe and Huntsman's Daughter may do shortly—for the Grand National. The moat "curious " lot in this race is Mr. Brayley's, for Pearl Diver is at a short price, and Moose really backed, and yet their owner Mitred to take 4,000 to 2,000 of one of the Chimney Sweep party that his outsider, Sea King, beat the latter " in their places," a bold bet to proffer with one horse at 1,000 to 70, and the other at 1,000 to 11, even supposing the Sweep's talented pilot, J. Adams, should not recover from his recent serious accident in the bunt. ing field in time to tool him again. The Doctor's victory at Lincoln puts him out of the hunt, by adding 10th. to his weight, almost as effectually as a reason assigned for his not performing at Birmingham would have done bad it been true; sad if the public can only let his companion, liunternarili Daughter, alone until the last moment, they may find a good investment in her. The Duke of llama. ton's long string an particularly quiet since Shakspeare's disgrace, though his Beadle won a hurdle nee in France last Sunday, in capital style, and Slyfox would have sacked the Steeple Chase likewise, in the same colours, but for a fall. What a good thing it would be for the Cortolvin stable if the Beadle could get over the Aintree four miles and • quarter without a blunder, and heat Avenay and Jack of Trumps at the weights they eath have when put through the mill ! I cannot help thinking that this division helps to m►ke the Frenelt-trained homes very dangerous in the Grand National ; and Mortimer was not badly represented at Lincoln, for all the break-down of the Gear, 'P. Jennings winning the principal two.year•old stake for Count F. de legrange, and with a " flyer" too, Colimae being a Tar tar for the best that she heat to catch any day, let the Sunflower filly, Alpenstock, Jove, De Vere, Fenian, Rajah, &a, get ever so much nearer to her in condition as the season advances. What the juvenile " form," as a whole, was up to is little more than a nutter of guess work ; but I must venture an opinion that it was not so good as the world had been led to expect, and the fact of Catton running De Vere and Electricity so close for the Blankney Stakes, giving them 331 b. for the year, will favour the idea. Speculum gave the 3-yr.old no less tl a 10Ib. in the Trial, and an additional 71b. beating, so (that he must have im proved immensely since last season, when he was • stone below first-clau, for De Vera and Electricity, at any rata, to ever get near the top of the tree. He completely put Cotton's pipe out for the City and Suburban, wherein Matthew Dawson is bound to be respected, for the steadier of Gst 12Ib does not absolutely settle Speculum himself, and there may be a better one in the background. New market was in great force during the two days, nearly every " legitimate " event going there, the only exceptions being when Indian Star and Di Vernon won two scrambles for W. Goatee, and the Guile colt had a selling stake presented to him. In the principal handicap the turf metropolitans supplied the first and third, thanks to the moderate calibre generally of the opponents of Indigestion and Artesian, and, perhaps, to the break-down of the Czar, who was at least as well off as the winner as regards condition and soundness of limb, but had not the good fortune to " stand up." Victory ap. peared well within his grasp onus, and es he looked like bringing me off another Vanlervelde coup • quarter of • mile from home, I certainly have no cause to be ashamed of my " selection," made immediately the weights were published, and adhered to consistently, as the Czar ad vanced from 33 to 1 to less then one-fourth the odds. The only 3-yr-old that made any great show in the ran was the extreme light weight, Lady Zetland, and she ob. tained her second place, perhaps, more from the good Mart she got than actual merit. She is not in any of the great spring handicaps ; nor is Indiges tion in aright beyond the Nottinghamshire, for which the 101 b. penalty stops him. Artesian and Ligurian might have a chants for the St. Lis at North ampton, with their reduced weights ; but I do not think very highly of them, and the savage Purveyor and Rhine Wine running simply disgracefully, not having such a good excuse as the finally rushed favourite Cauthlem, who got badly off, or the Czar—it cannot be said that Lincoln saw many shadows of coming events. The pro ceedings have not even made the little go coming off at Mansfield to-morrow look any worse than it did when the bad entries were originally published, the best thing on paper being Problem (whose owner did not win a race on his own ground) in the Sonny, as the fear of penalties may prevent Lure and Speculum being pulled out for their engagements. Concerning the principal affair at Harrow, I have to observe that Woodbury Hill has Dem added to the acceptances since my last, and if it is intended he shall start my Tottie is in danger.-1 am, Ao., METEOR.

A numerous and influential meeting was held in Liverpool yesterday, with reference to the question of compulsory education. Mr. Joe/PH HUBDUCK p. raided, and the meeting was attended by clergymen and ministers of nearly all denominations, and by laymen of all shades of politics. The chairman describe d rho operations which had been conducted both in Liverpool and Man chester timing the last two or three years by earnest pro modem of education in ceder to fill the existing schools by placing children there who were utterly neglected and unwired for by their parent,. But after doing aU they coul.l in this direction, they found that there was no effectual remedy bat some method of compulsory education. The chairman bitterly complained of the nrathy of the middle classes with regard to this question. The lint resolution, expressive of satisfaction that govern ment intended to introduce during the present oration a measure for a more extended system of national education, was moved by Mr. J. D. Denson, seconded by the Hee. Verner White, and carried. The second resolution, " that no scheme of national education would be adequate unless it comprised an extension of the principle of compulsory attendance at school," was moved by Mr. T. S. Battles, stipendiary magistrate of Liverpool, seconded by the Rev. Nevison Loraine, and supported by the Rev. Charles Beard lCuisanani, Mr. Chas. Grayson, Rev. Father t.uy, Rev. Dr. Home, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Chas. Holland. The Rev. Father Guy said that though the supreme catholic ecclesiastical authorities in Liverpool were not in favour of the principles of compulsory education, the ex perience of the majority of the catholic clergymen with regard to the lowest class of local education convinced them that no other system would be sufficient to meat the ease. The resolution was carried unanimously.—The ltev. 11. T. Brown (Baptist), moved that copies of the resolutions be forwarded so the borough members for presentation to the government. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Carter (gaol chaplain, prote•tant), supported by the Rev. Father Nugent (Boman catholic chaplain to the Liverpool Gaol), and unanimously adopted. A vote of thanks to the chair man closed the meeting. During the proceedings a letter was read from the Rev. Rector Campbell, stating that an experience of 57 years in the ministry had convinced him that if the people of England were to be educated, some kind of compulsion was necessary.

The bidding' for government bills on India were heldyesterday at the Bank*/ England. The amounts allotted were, to Calcutta, 18,110,000 is., and to Madras, 1,40,000 re. The minimum price was fixed as before at h. bop. on Calcutta and Madras. Tenders at Li. 101 d. on these presi denciee will receive about 33 per cent., those above will be allotted in full. No tenders on Bombay. These results differ but little from those noticed on the last occasion. It has been currently reported in Paris that the Italian government contemplate the imposition of a tax of 10 per cent. on the holders of the Italian debt, but some of the letters from Florence state that the Finance Minister will make, in the event of such • tax being imposed, certain reserves in the ease of foreign holders of Italian Bentes equivalent to a protection from the duty. It seems very bable that moms amount of tax will be proposed, s money must be had at any price.. National Bank of Italy has opened a subscr i pti on for the sale of 1,200,0001. capital of the OUigatory Loan, at 71fr. 20e., and the amount bas been sold.

The annexed letter communicates the Ware fat the present of the attempts which have been nude to relieve the labour of bankers' clerks by deferring the opening of the London banks for business till 10 a.m. instead of 9 a.m., as at present. As the oonunittee of bankers do not see their way to making the concession sought for, it seems oppor tune to suggest that a compromise might be enter twined, and that half-part 9 o'clock might be tried. It would be a great boon to many bankers' clerks, especially in the winter time, were they allowed an, additional half hour in which to reach the city: -• TO THII ZDITOZ OP TEI ZIPRIAOI.

The hour from nine to ten, however, not being occupied by (saunter work, the mere opening of the doors an hoar late. would make very little ditierence, cad the committee does not think it very desirable to throw back the general work of the day.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,.
