Three thousand cases of rating in Sunderland depended upon the decision of the court and the decision would also ha. , considerable influence in other large towns. l'nder thew cireamstanoes he applied that for the sake of public Wei eats the case might be taken earlier than its position o n the paper would warn/lit. The Lord thief Justice said that the question seemed to be raised in anticipation of an appeal from the Reel sin,; Barrister. The 'solicitor-General thought that it was not a ques tion of registration, but of rating. The Lord thief Justice said that though the court was ino , t ..nsious to dispose of a case like this at the earliest 1 , 0 ,.ib1e moment, yet it was impossible that trey could all the private suitors and public bodies whose ens , 'rood before this one, •tnd who naturally desired that tnsir cases should be determined in the order in which they stool.

Iffe-1, the foully went to live at No. 1, Bolton-street, Piccadilly, shortly afterwards Captain Blakeley came to the bowie, and after Christmas he was .t constant visitor. He would come three times in • day. Mr. and Mrs. Dering usually breakfasted together, and Cap tain Blakeley used to come at about twelve o'clock. He used to come on horseback. and Mr. and Mrs. Dering generally rode out with him. He used to bring a horse for Mrs. tiering ; but Mr. Dering had one of his own. Some times Mr. Dering did not go out with them. They gene rally came in at from half-past one to two. Captain Blakeley used to come a second time at 5 o'clock. Mr. Dering was not usually at home then ; and Captain ltlakeley would stay for about two hours with Mrs. Dering in the drawing-room. Mrs. Dering used to give o: lera that she was not at home to any one else. Dialler was at about eight ; and Mr. Dering usually dined :.t home. Captain Blakeley occasionally dined at the house. When Mrs. Dining came up to dress for dinner, I used to notice that ber hair ass .ometimes disordered, and her manner would some times be excited. I have carried letters from Mrs. L. rii.g to Capt. Blakeley. In March, 186 e, I did it very lreyucntly. Sometimes I brought beck answers. These visits of l'.l.tain Blakeley happened almost every day. His third wit was from about 10 to 12 at night. That also ..laiost of daily occurrence. Mr. Dering was at home a:i th. - .e occasion. two or three times, but he usually sent uid between 9 and 10. When he was at home when Captain Blakeley called the captain would some tins 40 out with him, but would return almost imme r:istely. Mrs. Dering used to wear • crinoline when she went ir.t or bad company : but she would take it off when she ea- ,;triug to be at home alone. She used to tell me to watch the door and to let him in when he came. • soon as Captain Blakeley went away sue used to go to bed but Mr. Dering did not come in till between 1 and • Mrs. Dering kept a diary.

Mr. and Mrs. ...ring had separate cabins; and Captain Blakeley's was between the two. Mrs. Dering's cabin door was always fa.tened open at night. My cabin was opposite Captain I:l.Leley's. I never saw Captain Blakeley inside Mrs. Voting's cabin; but they were always together. Mr. tits; was very often with the sailors. We landed in Ify Mrs. Chambers—Mrs. Dering was a very handsome . ....rig woman. Though she told me to watch for Captain It t,.eley, it was really the butler's duty to open the door. While we were onboard the yacht she did not go to bed till ! or '2. They were always up when I went to my cabin for the night. My mistress's cabin occupied the whole of the stern. Captain Blakeley's and mine were each ad joining hers, with a small passage between them. Mr. Dering's was nearer the centre of the vessel. Mr. Dering was frequently a little the worse for liquor while onboard. While he was in that state he would walk about and talk and laugh. Captain Illakeley always kept sober. His cabin was a larger and better one than Mr. Derbies. Mrs. Blakeley used to visit before the scene I have described, but she never came afterwards. cross•examined—We went from Marseilles to Algiers, t! en to Tangiers, then to Gibraltar. then to Lisboa, and then home, The crew consisted of a captain and 17 Multi..

The care stood .ter on a former oconeturt a order to await the result of the proceedings between the bankrupt and the earL The debts are :;,:t4B/ mid the bankrupt claims a sur• plus, which, however, depends upon the result of litigation between himself and the earl. In reference to his claim upon Lord Shaftesbury, the bankrupt makes this statement :—" I was land agent and steward to the Earl of Shaftesbury, and I claim in respect of certain drainage contracts perfected by me on the earl's estate a balance of 3.728 f., portion of which is for money expended. and the remainder balance due under the contract and 1,2:re11. is balance due to me en the general account between myself and the earl.

This wan an adjourned sitting for examination and dis. charge. Mr. Hemsley represented the assignees; Mr. Bagley was counsel for the Earl of shaftesbury ; Mr. Lewis sup ported. It was stated that the bankrupt was suffering from small•pos, and was unable, for that reason, to attend. His Honour. upon the production of the medical certi ficate, directed an adjournment to the 12th November. THE • EXPRESS, THURSDAY EV E NING, JUNE 4, 1868. POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.) MAN6I( ON-HOUSE. WILFUL 11.1111t.1 Al .1 FILNI fiect . was brought before Alderman Sir Benjamin Phillips, on the charge of wilfully breaking a square of plate•glass, value N. At 6 o'clock this morning the prisoner went into the Hosea Tavern. High-street, Aldgate, and beiFan sinFing disgusting songs, the landlord, Mr. Lane, being obliged to turn her out. At eight o'clock she returned, and threw a piece of brick through the window, smashing a large square of plate-glass. She was then given into custody. Robert Twose, a City constable, said that he apprehended the prisoner, and on the way to the station she said she was a Fenian, and had been concerned is the Clerkenwell outrage. Sir Benjamin Phillips Ho the witness)—You need not go into that ; I suppose she was drunk. The constable said she was not drunk. The prisoner denied that she said she was a Fenian, and asserted that she was drunk, and was not quite sober yet. Sir Benjamin said she had been guilty of a very criminal action, as she might have killed somebody inside the house. He sentenced her to six weeks' imprisonment, with hard labour. THE DARING STREET ROBRIIRN. Thomas Wardrof,f, a well iresseil young man. was charged on remand with stealing a gold watch and chain, value 15/. Shortly after 11 o'clock on the night of Friday last, the prosecutor, Mr. Henry H. Berens, a director of the Guar dian Fire and Life Assurance-office, Lombard-street, was walking from London-bridge to Cannon-street. when the prisoner robbed him of his watch and chain and ran down the steps leading to Thames street. The prosecutor followed , crying " Stop thief i" and the prisoner was captured in Miles's-lane, the watch and chain being found on the spot where he was appre hended. Whetson,l G, deposed to two previous convictions against the prisoner, and said he was tried at the last session of the Central Criminal Court for stealing a watch, but acquitted. Prisoner said he had never been in prison before. He pleaded guilty to the theft. The Alderman said he would give him another chance, and sentenced him to six months imprisonment with hard I 'boar. WESTMINSTER. SINGULAR APPLICATION. A respeetable, quiet-looking young man, entering the court this morning, and addressing Mr. Arnold, said—l wish to inform your worship that I have been married three months. Mr. Arnold—Well, I hope you are happy. Applicant—No, air, I am not, and that's the reason I have come here. Mr. Arnold—l'm sorry for that. Applicant—My wife has left me. She has deserted me and taken all my property away—everything I posses ed. Can't I make her bring it beck ? Mr. Arnold—lf you can find it. Applicant—lf other people have got possession of my property can't I recover st Mr. Arnold—Certainly you can. Applicant—Do you know I don't think she would have deserted me if she had been left to herself. Mr. Arnold--Don't you ? Applicant—No, I don't. I think it was entirely the influence her friends possessed over her. We seemed to he very comfortable ourselves at first. You see, they keep my property. Mr. Arnold—You can mover that, as I have told you. Applicant—Hut they keep ray wife; too. How ani I to recover her! Mr. Arnold—You must go to another court for that, and sue her for a restitution of conjugal rights. It is rather an expensive process. Applicant—ls it ? I'm very sorry for that. I wish to ask your worship another question, if you'll be good enough to answer it. Can't I detain what few things she has left at my house? Mr. Arnold—Certainly. Your wife's property is yours unless vested in trustees, and then when at comes into her possession it becomes yours. Applicant—Thank you, sir ; I am sure she would not have left home bat for her friends. WORSHIP-STREET. ROBBFR% AT A RAILWAY STATION.. William Johnson ' 25, was charged with stealing a watch from the person of William Redgrave at the Shoreditch terminus of the Great Eastern Railway. The prosecutor, a gentleman's servant, was at the ticket barrier, where there was a great crowd. While there he observed the prisoner force his way close to his (witness's) side, and he missed his watch, valued at I; guineas. Seeing a hand scrosehis waistcoat he seized the prisoner, who, throwing up his arms, waved them in the air. Wit. nese called for the police, and the prisoner was taken into custody. Corroborative evidence was given, and the prisoner was remanded. DEPRIVATION OF A CLERGYMAN FOR IMMORALITY. COrRT OF ARCHICS.—(Teti Der.) (Before the Right Hos. Sir R. Phillimore.) THE IIISH(•P OP NoRSICH V. THE REV. R. WILSON PEARSE. Judgment was given in this ease to-day. The defendant, the Rev. Robert Wilson Pearse, rector of Gaywood, Lynn, was articled against by the Bishop of Norwich forcemmitting three indecent assaults, at different periods, on three young men named Amia, Monument, and Eglinton. The defendant denied the allegations, and tendered himself as a witness, the learned judge admitting his testimony. The Dean of Arches proceeded to analyse the evi dence given on both aides, and also the denial of the defendant. His lordship felt bound to state that he believed the charges had been established, and that the question was the punishment to be inflicted. Deeply regretting es he did to do so, he was bound from such habitual practice to pronounce the severest sentence in his power, and that was one of deprivation of his office. The defendant was ordered to be deprived of his status as a clergyman of the church of England. He was also condemned in costs. Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram were for the Bishop of Norwich ; Mr. Serjeant Etallantine, Dr. Spinks, Q.C., and Dr. Middleton were for the defendant. THE. ABYSSINIAN TELEGRAM.—A singular error occurred in the copy of the telegram sent to the papers from the Foreign-office last night. In describing the flood in the &woo de6le the number of natives drowned was said to be " six hundred." We are happy to learn from an amended copy that it should have been " six" only. NARROW ESCAPE OF THE EARL AND COUNTEss or Drsuonr..—On Tuesday night an accident, which might have had more serious consequences, happened to the Earl and Countess of Dunmcre. It appears that, returning from dining with the Earl and Countess Cadogan, a cab ran into the brougham, breaking the shafts and sending the horsed at a furious gallop down Grosvenor place, on the foot pavement. The carriage came into collision with a lamp-post, and threw the footman and coachman, the legs of the latter getting entangled in one of the wheels. The horses fell and the brougham was smashed, but. fortunately, neither the earl nor countess were injured in the least. The coachman was conveyed to the hospital, and will, it is supposed, recover. The footman's injuries were slight. HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE THROAT.—In order to facilitate the employment of the newly-Invented laryngoscope among the sick poor the Dispensary for Dis eases of the Throat was established in 1543 in King street, Regent-street, and its great utility soon became so evident that increased subscriptions flowed in, until the committee were enabled to take larger premises, and to make provision for a certain number of in-patients. The dispensary consequently grew into a hospital, and was removed to Golden square. The necessity for an institution of this kind is amply shown by the returns of the Registrar-General, from which it appears that in 1866 no fewer than 24,C00 deaths occurred from croup, diphtheria, and other throat diseases. Now, when it is considered that these figures in clude fatal oases only, some idea may be formed of the amount of the suffe r tog n ii i m il o o ng the destitute poor from this ohm of diseases, the past year 2,5 3 were 2 cases treated in the hospital, w • upwards of 20,000 visits were made by patients, who on each occasion received advice and medicine. The sixth annual dinner in support of the institution was held last evening, at the Freemasons' Tavern. The Duke of Grafton, president of the hospital, took the chair, and after the customary loyal and consti tutional toasts had been duly honoured, made an appeal on behalf of the institution, resulting in a subscription. list amounting to 9801.

The day was overcast, and when a dozen oven; had been bowled, the rain commenced falling, and one adjournment took place. The Marylebone Club won the toss and took first innings, Dr. Orace and Price representing them at the wickets. The Surrey bowling was started by Griffith, and Bristow delivered from the opposite wicket. THREE O'CLOCK. After an interval of 20 minutes play was resumed, and very speedily M.C.C. had lost a moiety of their wickets for less than 50 runs, 34 of which were got by Price by admirable play. It was then that Mr. Campbell joined Mr. Baker, and a good stand was made, inducing several changes in the bowling, to wit, Sewell for Gri ffi th at 75. The latter resumed at 1 0 6, and at 108, Hall, the colt, was tried, but Mr. Campbell made $ off his first over. Both batted in good form. Mr. Baker made a 6 to leg off Griffith.

The anniversary meeting of the children belong ing to the several parochial schools in the metropolis took place to-day under the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral. The doors were opened at 10 o'clock, when the children began to arrive ; and notwithstanding their antiquated costume their clean and neat appearance attracted very favourable notice. There were about 4,000 children assembled—the number of schools represented being 57. The Lord Mayor, aldermen, and sheriffs were, as usual, pre. sent, and the general company included several persons of distinction. Divine service commenced at twelve o'clock, the hundredth psalm being sung before prayers. The psalms for the day were chanted by the gentlemen of the united choirs, the children joining in the Gloria Patri. The choral service also included are Daum and the Jubilate Deo (by Goss), the Coronation Anthem, and finally, the Hallelujah chorus by the choir, the children taking part. The sermon was preached by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Ely, and at the close of the proceedings • collection was made to meet the expenses incurred by the society of patrons, and to enable them to render assistance to the necessitous charity schools. Owing to the death of the late president. his office was filled on this occasion by Mr Samuel Fisher and Mr. Beriah Drew, treasurers. Mr. Goss presided at the organ. PUBLIC BREASPAXT TO MR. BRIGHT AND MK V. DARCOURT AT LIVERPOOL. ITEM DAY.) Or remount, (n ON OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY AFTERNOON. Mr. Bright and Mr. Vernon Harcourt were entertained at a public breakfast by the liberal party this morning. Mr. Bright delivered an address of more than an hour's duration, and entered at length into the Irish church question. The proceedings were very enthusiastic. HOLLOWAY WORKING MEN'S CLUB AND INSTI TUTE.— An appeal has been made by the committee of this institute for funds to enable them to increase its useful nese and to make it self-supporting. It has been in ex istence nearly five years, and has been continuously suc cessful, notwithstanding the inoonvenience of the pre mises with respect both to capacity and situation. The committee have now obtained • suitable site upon which to build club, reading, class rooms, and a large lecture-hall. After the first out lay, the building will, it is expected, not only be self supporting, but will yield a surplus which may be applied to the educational purposes of the institution. The esti mated cost is about 1,0001. The members have shown their interest in the scheme by contributing to the full extent of their ability ; but as the amount thus obtained is not sufficient for the purpose, the committee express a hope that they may be assisted by the public in their effort to overcome the first difficulty. The secretary of the club is Mr. G. R. Tattersall, 301, Holloway-road. THE SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN Kr/ow- LEDOIr AND BIsDOP COLAIISO. —We learn that the pro ceedings at the monthly board of the above society yester day (Tuesday) were of • very stormy character. There was a very full attendance, and the board sat until half past five. The chief discussion arose on the motion of the Rev. It. T. West to grant 4,230/. towards the building of churches, schools, and houses in the Natal diocese, for the use of the clergy and laity who repudiate the authority of Bishop Colenso. From the commencement of the dis cussion it was obvious that a compact body of ritualists were present, and we learn that their unbecoming noise was commented on by more than one speaker. The grant was opposed, not on any ground of sympathy with Bishop Colenso, but partly on the ground that a very large list of applications, some of long standing, were in anew ; and y because it was urged that the society would put partly becaus, it was urged that t il e soci.ty woulA put Itself into antagonism with the law, and that grave doubts are entertained of the validity of the depoidtion of the bishop. Mr. West ' s motion was lost by a small majority. I —Record. MURPHYITE DISTURBANCE& We (Manchester Guardian) learn by telegram that the lecturer Murphy was twice knocked down in the streets of Hanley last evening, by an Irishman named Mecarthy, and that one of his eyes was blackened. A dis- turbance was imminent ; but the police checked the ex citement by removing Macarthy in custody, sad leading Murphy to his lodgings. Loot evening there was some excitement at Bolton, iu consequence of the arrival of Murphy's asidetinta. As already stated, Murphy has rented a plot of ground, and about 6 o'clock last evening two lorries from Bury brought a large quantity of boarding, canvas, boxes, &c. for the erection of a tent. The site he has obtained is a held lying alongside the Bolton branch of the Lancashire and 1 orkshire Railway. It appears that the ownership et the land in question is disputed. II has been let to Murphy by one party, but the railway company claim it. With assistance Murphy'. men threw the boarding into the field, but it had not lain there more than as hour, when Mr. Izat, inspector of the permanent way, appeared on the scene with about a score of men under him, and by his instruction. the latter pitched the tim ber back again into the street. As the affair became known large crowds gathered near the spot, and last night between one and two thousand persons were present. A body of polio were there to prevent any disorder. Ono of Murphy's wen demanded protection for his property, but he was told the police were not there to meddle with the dispute, but simply to prevent say breach of the peace. (IT tzt.zosarn.) (rsoN 01./1 OWN CORRESPONDENT.) IiANLEY,TnuasnAT.

THE RHINE FESTIVAL. —A remarkable musical festival is at present being held at Cologne—being the sixtieth of the kind. On the opening day an address was delivered by M. Schlinck, who gave an eloquent amount of the Rhine festivals and of the great composers who directed them, and are now no more —Ries, Spohr, Spontini, Mendelssohn, Schumann. The rest of the day was devoted to the Messiah. The soloists were lime. Joachim, lime. Dustman, and MM. Gun: and Hill.

The second day was performed a cantata of Bach, Le Pen Memel, au overture of Hiller, a psalm of Mendelssohn, an act from La Ivestale of Spontini, and the Ninth Sym phony of Beethoven. THE HORNS SHOW.--THIS DAY).—There was a large attendance at 10 o'clock this morning, and business seemed to be the order of the day ; the transac tions at the secretary's office being very numerous. The number of horses sold and the invariably good prices obtained for them have stamped the Agricultural Hall as the best market in the kingdom for good horses, and the tremendous number of applications which were made for standing-r oom pl a i n ly show that this is the estimation in which it is held. The hurdle racing with hunters was to begin to-day at 2 o'clock, and the sport is to be resumed at 4. To-morrow, being the last day, there will be a aeries of racing and jumping contests. PLAYING AT SINGLE-STICK.—(THIS DAY.)—Thin morning John Plyman, of 2, Bedford-street, Walworth, and another were at Wood-green, playing at single-stick, when the latter, after striking Hyman across the leg and arms, gave boa a smart rap on the heed.

The English fonds opened firmly this morning at an improvement of i per cent., chiefly in con nection with the arrangement of the monthly account, which will be completed this after noon. A relapse, however, has since taken place to the last prices of yesterday, and the tendency of the market at the moment for this security is flat. Most of the other departments of the'Stock Exchange are likewise dull, but the reduction in quotations is neither general nor important. Railway stocks are slightly loner in a few instances, although the traffic returns of nearly all the leading lines show an increase compared with the correspond ing period of last year. In the case of the London and South Western. the increase is as much as 10,3116 f., owing to the Epsom races. Some of the foreign bonds have declined, while others have advanced.

The amounts allotted were :--To Calcutta, 18,37,500 rupees, and to Madras 1,62,500 rupees. The minimum price was fixed at Is. 101 d. on both presidencies, and tenders at that price will receive about 30 per cent. Those above will be allotted in full. /Co tenders on Bombay were invited. These results indicate a further diminution in the demand for the means of remittance to India, the terms having been fixed 1 per cent. lower than on the last occasion. With reference to the case of " Sheppard v. Murphy," which has of late attracted much atten tion, it appears that the judgment of the Vice- Chancellor of Ireland has been r everse d on appea l . This decision establishes the principle that a trans terror of shares has a remedy against a transferree, no matter how many intermediate hands the shares may have passed through. The delivery of the judgment occupied three hours. We are glad to learn that the affairs of Mr. James McHenry, so well known in connexion with the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, seem likely to admit of a more satisfactory settle ment than that indicated on Tuesday. We are as sured that, according to the arrangement proposed, Mr. McHenry is to pay 6e. Bd. in the pound in two years, and the entire balance up to 20s. in the pound in annual instalments of 3s. 4d. in the pound : and it is added that creditors for upwaris of 2,400,000 , ., an amount which conveys the re quisite majority, have agreed to accept the offer. It is affirmed that the bankruptcy proceedings its f , ..rred to have been commenced by a dissentient cre ditor for about 5,0031. It is assumed that the deed will be immediately completed by the assents of nearly all the large creditors, so as to pr vent any proceedings in bankruptcy taking effect.

The boatmen of Mr. Fry sprang into their boats and quickly pulled to the scene of the disaster, which occurred in the Mires, close to and near the end of the North Pier. There they found a boat upside down, and a gentleman clinging to the bottom of it. Cries came from the pier to tarn the boat rap, and on doing so they found a lady underneath, who, it was afterwards found, was the wife of the gentle. man. They were at once conveyed to the baths on the sands, and medical aid was sent for. Shortly afterwards Dr. Matthewson and his assistant arrived, and everything that human skill could devise was tried in the case of the lady, but it was of no avail, se she gradually sank and died. The gentleman, Mr. Millwright, tailor, late of Grepstreet, Newcastle (who has been staying for some time at Tyne month with his family), appeared to be none the wore for his immersion. It would ap pea r that Dr. Mattlievraen has been for some time past a tten ding the unfortunate lady for apoplexy, and he gave it as his opinion that apoplexy was the muse of death. —Newcastle .Daily Dews.
