THIRD EDITION. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-47H18 DAY.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Fittings in Banco.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Blackburn, Mellor, end Lush.) - -- - This was special paper day ; but, in consequence of the pressing character of the following ease, their lord ships heard the motion: ESPARTE THE YEN. JOHN COOTIN, ARCHDEACON OF WEKT MORELAND, r. THE REY. CHARLES JAMIE BURTON, CHAN CELLOR OF THE DIiN:ID , E OF CARLISLE. Mr. Archibold moved, on behalf of the Ven. John Cooper, Archdeacon of Westmoreland and vicar of Kendall, for a prohibition to restrain the Rev. Charles James Burton, chancellor of the diocese of Carlisle, from holding a visitation or general synod of Kendal, notice of which had been given for the 12th June next. The Arch deaconry of Westmoreland was created by order in council, made under the provisions et the 6 and 7 William 4th, chapter 77. Westmorland, formerly belonged to the diocese of Chester, but by order in council, dated 10th August, 1847, that portion of it was made part of the diocese of Carlisle, and a new archdeacon was appointed. Bishop Percy, however, never assented to the order, and it only tame into operation on his death in JR't. Shortly after the Ven. Robert Welton was collated to the archdeaoonry, and on his resig nation in 1865. the present applicant was collated to it by the bishop. When the order came into effect, the Rev. Charles James Burton, chancellor and vicar-general, held the visitations as the bishop's deputy. The applicant, with the consent of the bishop. undertook to do the duty, when he was informed that the Rev. C. J. Burton claimed to hold the visitation, and had issued the notices for the 12th June. The question arose under the 19th section of the act which provides that " all archdeaoons shall have mid exercise full and equal jurisdiction within their respective arch deaconrfee any usage to the contrary notwithstanding." The arc hdeacon had taken this course with extreme re luctance, but in order to obtain • judicial decision for his guidance in holding visitations. The Lord Chief Justice said that as the visitation was a purely spiritual cog•isance, he was doubtful if a prohi bition had ever been issued in such cases. It was not the exercise of any temporal jurisdiction at all. Mr. Archibold said, except as to the receiving of fees and swearing in churchwardens. Mr. Justice Lush said they could be sworn in anywhere. Tho court would interfere where there was an usurpation of ecclesiastical power dependent upon the construction of RE act of parliament. Mr. Archibald having referred to certain authorities which be contended were applicable to the point, The Lord Chief Justice said there was some doubt upon the point ; but the learned counsel had quoted authority entlicient to make it necessary to give him a rule. Rule granted. Mr. Archibold made a similar application on behalf of the Archdeacon of Carlisle. Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings in Brno.—(Before Lord Me Juatios Bovill, and JllO4OBB Willis and By te.) 711 E IHA 11 Ls CONSERVANCY BOARD V. VICTORIA STATION AND PIMLICO RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action on an award made under the Lands Clauses Act, and east-ring the amount payable to the plaintiff. for land taken for the building of the defend an-,a' bridge over the Thames. When the case came on for trial a few days ago, a verdict was entered for the plain tiff, subject to the opinion of the court. Mr. scrjeant Hayes now moved for a rale to enter a ennlict for the defendants, and stated that the bridge was budt in I'6B, and no claim was made by the defendants for compensation until 1867. He submitted that upon the h ere construction of the Conservancy Act and the de fendants' private set the conclusion was that the defen dants had all their sights under their own act saved to th , un, an.i had no power to claim compensation in accord ance with the form of procedure provided by the Lands Clauses Act. pule granted. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) T.I.RING V. TIERING AND BLAKELEY (CAPE!. AND THE 4tI'EEN'S PROCTOR INTERVENING). This morning Serjeant Parry tendered evidence on be- L.lf of the petitioner. Captain kearon, a friend of the parties who had inter vened after the elopement, and upon whose evidence the decree nisi had to a great extent been granted, deposed to the extreme distress of Mr. Doting and to conversa tions which he had had with the respondents, all tending to negative the presumption that the husband had ever been eognisant or suspicious of the intrigue. He also stated that though be had been extremely intimate with Mr. Dering, he had never noticed in him any addiction to intoxication. )n cross-etamination by the Solicitor General (for the 1111tMn's Proctor) the witness said that the manner of ( . ..i.tain Blakeley to Mrs. Daring had attracted his &nen tioh. Had noticed that he was very attentive to her— tb.kt was to say, be paid her more attention than was desirable, but witness could not say more than was right. The subject had formed the topic of club talk, and witness had mentioned it to Mrs. Dering. Had done that because Captain Blakeley was so much with her that a kind of counte nance was given to the stories that were about town. Captain Blakeley wrote to witness and asked to see him. Witness accordingl called on him and remonstrated with him. Witness wax just as intimate at the house as Captain Blakeley was ; but re monstrated with Csptair. Blakeley because the names of the respondents had got coupled together. Captain Blake ley told wituess after the elopement that if Mrs. Dering's character wan needlessly attacked he could nos oppose the divorce. Communicated that to Mr. Daring's proctor, and privately to Mr. Bering himself. By Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C.—Had known Mrs. .I.h .ring when she was Lady Forth, and when she was living with Mr. Dering before her second marriage. Mr. Dering told witness that he had borrowed 3001. from Captain Blakeley, but he did not say how long before the elope ment. He-examined—When witness spoke to Mrs. Dering she stated that there wan no improper intimacy whatever be tween Captain Blakeley and herself, but that being un -I:..ppy at home, and being a great deal worried with the affairs of the litakeley Ordnance Company, it was a relief to him to come and talk over his affairs with her. Captain Blakeley said he would break off his con• nection with her. Did not think it could answer any good end to tell Mr. Dering of the gossip he haul heard. Felt perfectly certain that the petitioner had no suspicion. Mr. Dering told witness that I . .tptain Blakeley had sued him for the 3001., and had recovered it. Was not aware that the smallest engage ment bad been entered into between the petitioner and the respondents as to the conduct of the divorce suit. By the Judge Ordinary—Did not see any such conduct hetween the respondents as would he likely to attract a linvhand'a attention—certainly not. Mr. Francis Geary, uncle of the petitioner, said he haul visited his nephew, and that he appeared to be an affec tionate and attentive husband. Saw nothing particular in the conduct of Captain Blakeley and Mrs. Dering. Mr. George Edward Dering, brother of the petitioner, tare similar evidence. The petitioner was appointed by the Court of Chancery, at hin wife's request, guardian of her son, Lard Drummond. Was perfectly certain that the petitioner had no suspicion of Captain Blakeley. After the elopement he was in a great state of excitement and anxiety. Even then he did not believe that there was anything wrong. His idea was that the respondent had a sudden attack of brain fever, for he could not conceive any reason why she should have left his house, as there had been no quarrel. His only object seemed to be to get her back. [The case was proceeding when our report left.] COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Betore Mr. Commissioner Rolroyd.) IN RE DEMETRIUS ACIOMAVRITI. This was an application for release by the bankrupt who bad been arrested on a capias to hold to bail issued at the suit of Stefano' Xenos, of 9, Fenchurch-street, merchant, a creditor for 1,300/. The bankrupt, upon examination, at , t , .1 that he was a merchant in Bishopsgate-street. lie ~ a, d 1,890/. to creditors in England, and 6001. or 70W. to rr..litors in Constantinople and had no assets. lie had r. in r.li.on since the 26th of March. opposition was offered, but o Buouur said that as the bankrupt was in custody o writ of eapias to hold to bail, this court ought not to rc!earie him. The bankrupt must either apply to a rwomon law judge, or obtain the consent of the detaining croditor to his release. .Application refused. (Before Mr. Comniimioner Winslow.) IN KR OILNNABO TAGNANIt The I tukrupt was a merchant, of Cletnent's-lim etrmant ,•laue ; debts about 7,000/. ,• assets of small amount. The bankrupt, it appeared, had speculated largely in oil. His application for an order of discharge was heard at a late hour yesterday afternoon. Mr. Heed, for the assignees, opposed ; Mr. Chidley supported. His Honour, after hearing evidence, held that the bank rupt had conttected debts without reasonable expectation of 'flaking payment, and that he had engaged in hazardous speculations. _ . pen these grounds the court suspended the order of discharge for 13 months, with protection for one month erly, to enable the bankrupt to appeal if so advised. POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.) CLERKENWELL. ATTEMPT TO NORDEN A WIPP. 7 1., 'has I larkc, a hone keeper, residing at :i2, Middle sex.street, Somers-town, was chugged bdore Mr. Barker with attempting to murder his wife, Loa Clarke, with a "kit knife, he being drunk at the time. Mr. IL Allen, prosecuting officer of the Associate Ind& tuts for Improving and Enforcing the Laws for the Protec tion of Women, witched the cue. The complainant, whose face was scratched, said that last night the defendant, who had been drunk for more than six weeks, came home in the tame state, and she went out. Some two hours afterwards she saw him is the streets. and he then assaulted her, and pulled off hie coat to fight her. He bruised her ell over the body and arms, and said he would do for her. He then went home, and she went on to the landing, where she bad slept on many previous nights, intending to sleep them, when the defendant came out, gat hold of her by the hair of the head, dragged her into the room, and while threatening to do for her took up a knife from the table, the point of which was not very sharp, and violently struck it against her aide with such force that it broke in half. Her dress was cut in three places. He still held her, and she struggled to the window and broke one to call for assistance. Mr. Barker asked if the defendant bad ever before been in custody for assaulting his wife, and was answered in the negative. A week since he was fined 1/. for assault ing a female. The pohoe stated that the complainant had frequently oomphuned to them of the defendant's violence, and they had seen marks on her, but she would not press the charge against him. They also said she was a sober, hard working woman. The defendant said that his wife was a violent woman, and annoyed him. He did get drunk sometimes. Mr. Barker said it was clear that the defendant was a cruel, violent man, and sentenced him to six months' im prisonment, wi h hard labour, in the House of Correction. At the expiration of the period he would have to find two sureties, in the sum of 151. each, to keep the peace and be of good behaviour to his wife, and all her Majesty's sub jects, for six calendar months. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THROWING STORRS AT THr DOCKS IN KENSINGTON. GARDEN& Fredk. Page and Henry Willer, two lads, were char d before Mr. Knox with throwing stones and wilfully damaging the embankment in Kensington-gardens. Polioe-oonstable George Strutt, 273 A, deposed that on the previous evening he saw the prisoners throwing stones at the ducks on the Serpentine in Kensington-gardens, and also pulling up stones forming the embankment, and throwing them into the trees. The prisoners denied doing so. The constable said the prisoners seemed to be bent on mischief. _ . —..._....... The prisoners said that allihey were doing was throw ing at an old tin pot in the water, and that they were not doing any harm. Mr. Knox said he felt bound to believe the constable, and fined the prisoners 100. each or 7 days. SOUTHWARK. DISGRACEFUL FRACAS AT A RAILWAY STATION. George Winslow, a respectable-looking man, who refused to give his address, was placed at the bar before 11r. Part ridge, charged with being drunk, and creating a disturb ance at the Borough-road station of the London, Chat ham, and Dover Railway, and with assaulting the com pany's servants in the execution of their duty. Henry George King, booking clerk at the Borough road station, said that about 4 o'clock on the previous afternoon the prisoner entered the office and com menced abusing him and several persons who ware waiting for tickets. His language was disgusting in the extreme. Witness told him to leave the premises, and on his refusing to do so be sent for an officer to eject him. He then became so violent that witness was compelled to go the latter's assistance, wheu the prisoner attacked him and smashed his hat to pieces. He was very drunk. William Laws, an officer in the service of the company, gave corroborative evidence. Mr. Partridge toldprisoner his conductwas disgraceful in the extreme. And as a warning to him and others, he fined him 40s. or a month for the assault ; Is. tine, and 10s. damage for the hat, or seven days additional. WAN'DSWORTH. THR S3IOKING_QUZSTIOH,. Mr. C'harles He!more, of Cheyne-walk. Chelsea, was summoned by Mr. Bent on behalf of the South Western Railway Company, f3r unlawfully smoking tobacco in a carriage of the said company. Mr. Treherne defended, and said his client was smoking. Pope, the guard of the last train from Hounslow on the night of the 23rd ult , stated that on opening the door of a carriage at Barnes station to admit a lady and gentleman, when they objected to enter on account of the defendant and another gentleman smoking. He could not obtain the address of the other gentleman. Mr. Dayman—Was it a smoking compartment. Witness—No, sir. I told them they could not smoke, 1 as it was not a smoking compartment. One said, " All right, old boy." They would not get into a smoking' compartment, and continued smoking until after they got out at Clapham Junction. Other gen tlemen got into the same carriage, and smoked, but they discontinued after I had cautioned them. We never interfere with smokers unless the public complain. In reply to Mr. Treherne the witness said the defendant and the other gentleman were late at Brentford station, and he stopped the train for them. The defence was that there was no time to get into a smoking compartment. Mr. Hayman said that as the company had put on smoking carriages there was no excuse. Arguments were used as if it were absolutely necessary for a man to smoke. The case was made out and he fined the defendant 20s. and Mr. Treherne wished to thank the oompany for putting on smoking carriages, and he only wished that other com panies would adopt the same plan. The Memorial Diplinnatique says —" The Holy Father, desiring on the occasion of the first com munion of the Prince Imperial to bestow a special mark of benevolence upon his august godson, sent to him through Cardinal Lucien Bonaparte a precious reliquary surmounted by an antique cameo of rare beauty. What enhances the value of this present from the Pope is an autograph letter from his Holiness which accompanied it, addressed to the youthful Prinoe, and couched, it is said, in the most touching terms." A correspondent of the Dublin Express states that on Sunday a Roman catholic priest in a parish near Trak, denounced with " bell, book, and candle" a man necced Langley and his wife, whose offence was that they got married in a registrar's office instead of in a chapel, and that she result is that their neighbours, who before were amicable, will now hold no communication with them. A representation of the cue has been forwarded to the Right Rey. Dr. Moriarty, Roman catholic Bishop of Kerry. A SLIGHT MISTAKIL— Prince Napoleon lately called at the house of M. Sainte-Beuve to compliment him on his recent speech in the Senate. hl. Sainte-Beuve was notat the moment ready to receive the imperialvisitor, who therefore passed the time in conversation with the tonne, Sophie. "M. Sainte-Beuve," said the Prince, "must be quite satisfied with the ovation which he received from the students." " Oh, yes," re plied Sophie, who thought she waa paying a compliment to the Prince, they cried, "Vivant lee Imperialistes." " You are mistaken," said the Prince, " what they cried, was ' vivent lea materialistes,' not 'vivent lea imps rialistes.' " HORSE SHOW.—(FITTII AND LAST PUBLIC DAY. i —This morning the horse show was opened to the pub o for the last time this season. The programme of the day is unusually attractive, in consequenee o the prizes offered and to be competed for in running and jumping, and an enormous attendance is ex pected. The entries for the contests were closed before the time originally proposed, as it was found impossible to allow all who wished to contest. At 2 o'clock to-day the trotting races will come off, and 30/. will be awarded according to merit and at the discretion of the judge among trotters in single or double harness to be shown only in trotting traps or American waggons. At 3 o'clock, supposing the trotting to be then con cluded, the leaping contests will commence, and for the best performances over twelve feet artificial fences there will be • first prize of M. ; second prize of 101. ; and third prize of it. A second series of prizes for leaping, equal in value to the first series, will be given for horses not entered in the show. DEATH OF ROBERT CHAMBERS. —lt is our gin ful duty to-day to record the death of Mr. Robert am bers, of St. Anthony's. The famous oarsman died at a few minutes before 7 o'clock this morning, from the effects of the disease under which he has been for some time labour ing—consumption. In the autumn of last year he became somewhat unwell, though the idea that he wee shortly to fall a victim to the disease which it seems had then overtaken him was never entertained. For • short time he seemed to recover his wonted strength, but afterwards relapsed. Even then, however, no great alarm was experienced by his friends at his condition. But as the winter advanced his health continued to decline, and on the approach of spring it became too clearly manifest that his illness was of • serious character. Medical advice was obtained, but , without any improvement being observed. In March he became so unwell that for a time he found himself °am palled to keep his room. In the latter end of Aptil, acting under the advice of his medical advisers and with the cancarrenceof some of his warmest friends, he went to Croft, in the hope that change of air would bring about , some improvement; this hope being to some extent j uatiued, • the doctors had a faint expectation that, with great are. i a might possibly recover. Bat the disease was too surely doing its work—Chambers grew gradually worse, and three weeks ego he returned home from Croft From that time he has been confined to the bed from which he was no more to rise in life. Throughout hie ill ness he was attended by Mr. Creswell, surgeon, of St. Anthony's, and Dr. William Murray, of Newcastle • bat in spite of all the oars and attention bestowed upon 'him, and the excellent medical advice which had been obtained, he gradually aa&k, and at the age of thirty-seven years the finest carman that England ever produced has paired away to his Anal red.—Newcastle CAroside. .

The receipts of English wheat fresh up to our market this morning were trifling, but in fair average condition. There was a great want of animation in the demand for both red and white parcels, and sales were with difficulty concluded at barely Monday's reductioo. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat, for which there was scarcely any inquiry at about late rates. Floating cargoes of wheat commanded but little atten tion. In other kinds of produce, afloat, next to nothing was doing. Only moderate supplies of barley were on sale ; never theless the demand was inactive, on former terms. Malt was in fair supply, and limited request, at late rates. Fine oats were tolerably firm in value, otherwise the oat trade was quiet. at drooping prises. In beans and peas, the transactions were on a limited scale, at late currencies. Flour moved off slowly, at Monday's quotations. Seeds and cakes met a s low sale, at previous pekes.
