At to eing of the Sth July there were pre worst noblemen and gentlemen belonging to the o wed ve party. He did not know whether Lord Arthur w or was one of them.

Be had reason to believe that tbe funds for the e y e s were to be supplied by members of the party, and Lord Ranelagh. It was pret t y well understood that obdship neither could nor would fight the battle out of o wa purse. He did not know whether a lo sa ble sum of money was absorbed, but he never m ot a penny. He expected to be paid by Lord Ranelagh, abet with his own funds. It was understood that the •w ary funds would be supplied to Lord Ranelagh by Otani friend'.

He sincerely i sed that the plaintiff had proceeded with this action in the of that the gentleman who had been alluded to would ran forward and settle the claim, as they really ought to ae done long ago. Lord Ranelagh, whose means had ode been skaken to the centre by this election, felt it duty to appear in court in order to set elf right with the public, because his ohs— ,ar had been seriously affected by actions this kind. Lord Ranelagh had been left to W th, entire brunt of the affair, and his home had been by sheriff's officers, and he had been hunted from pir to post by those who were in reality the creditors die party who put hint forward as a candidate, g; had now shrunk from their engagement. Ile learned coun party had looked with longing eyes to eaesex, and at the last general election thought there vald be a good opportunity of matching it from the party sb they thought had improperly retained it in their own Let They turned their attention to Lord Ranelagh, a 'saber of the Carlton Club, an extremely energetic paleman, who was well known as a most consistent and ~k.f.tigahle tory. Lxl Itanelagh—A liberal conservative. Merjeant Ballantine did not think that terms were if much importance, at any rate he was a member of the 'Mint Club. Lord Ranelagh would tell them that he so UMW or inclination to enter upon such a contest tto own expense, and that it was perfectly understood a the meeting on the nth July that others were to apply the funds. It would also be proved that the "cent he received a letter from Lord Arthur VI Trevor to the effect that the money absented would not be sufficient to conduct the election, end Ranelagh immediately withdrew from the contest in Mr that no farther expenditure might be incurred on his *half. Under these circumstances the jury need not be arprised at his lordship conking into court, if not to save • a pocket, at least to redeem his character front the inipit :ions cast upon it. The Lord Chief Baron—l assume you can prove all you ore opened, but unless you can show that distinct notice no given to the plaintiff that he was not to look to 'ad Itanelagh personally for payment, the plaintiff is 'titled to a verdict. Mr. Selena Ballantine—Lord Ranelagh is very anxious abe examined, in order to state the real facts, and show nv little he is really responsible for any injury the iaatiff or any others may have suffered with tepid to the election, but if your lordship thinks it, notwithstanding, the arrangement made by an infiu q.a"l party to supply the funds required for the contest eel not relieve the defendant from liability, I should . -A feel justified in occupying the court further. The Lard Chief Baron—Yon have vindicated the che ater of Lord Ranelagh, and shown that he has not reek ally exposed these gentlemen to expenses and liabilities. bleed, all who know Lord Ranelagh would readily suppose as he could do nothing of that kind, but that is ha ...aerial to the defence. I don't know whether the jury take :e same view as I do of the matter. The Foreman— We have all come to the same conclusion. The Lord Chief Baron—Then I must direct a verdict !the plaintiff. I hope that justice between alltheparties, meb cannot be done hem, may be done out of court. Verdict for plaintiff for amount claimed. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) AND ANOTHER r. WILSON AND OTHERS.— SPECIAL. JUKE. :le Queen's Advocate and Mr. Pritchard for the plain ti; Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks, for the next 1E Z. Mr. kayford for the heir-at-law. :hii was a suit to deteneine the validity of a will ex rted on the pith of August, 18Ci5, by Miss Charlotte .:_elia Hinde Whittington, late of Stevenage, Herta, who el s tew minutes afterwards. The deceased, who at the time of her death was years of age, had made a will in 1859, ttich she afterwards destroyed. On the 'ward eDeeember, 1434, she sent full written instructions for a ter will to her attorney, Mr. Vesey, who was one of the ekutors and a plaintiff. Mr. Vesey at once proceeded to lore a draft, which he submitted to her. It comprised -reit numberef legacies, and gave the residue toMr. Wil it-.. a consingerman once removed, now deceased. The Iratrix went carefully over it, and expressed her com pile approval of it, but she said she would defer exe clog it for the present. In the following August a 0. 1101011 friend, named Sn•yth, called on Mr. Vesey, told him that if Miss Whittington had not tale her will, it was high tim9 she did it. Mr. Vesey L r , waited upon her, and according to his account, though Et was in a state of almost complete bodily prostration, '-, was perfectly competent to do a testamentary act. S:e executed the paper with the utmost deliberation and r eetedness ;but It Wall not read over to her. After she had tasked Mr. Vesev and the attesting witnesses, she mo teed them to withdraw, and died a few minutes subee ',linty. On cross-examination, Mr. Vesey said that on mauls in his bill at the beginning of last year, le kul inserted a blank item for making her will, 113 -i l B, "but which was left unsettled." His express nut in doing so was to call Mies Whittington'a attention le:sle matter ; and by the word " unsettled " lie did not 4111 to say that the draft was " unsettled " in the tectoical sense, but merely that it was not executed. [The case was not concluded when our report left.] COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) HUSTNES•S OF THE COURT. l's Honour said he was about to promulgate a rdr by which he wished the proceedings of the " ':rt to be governed. Complaint had been made to nr, and the complaint had appeared in some of the 'orspapers, that a day or two ago the court did sot lit until half-past 12 o'clock, by which it In said that several persons were grievously inconve tented. He believed the fact was that one solioitor,whom lidr all respected extremely, was delayed. But it must baPPen sometimes, when a case took up an unexpected lime, that the parties engaged in the other canes would ht delayed. The sitting which delayed his ap nradre in court on Monday morning until `-pant 12 was one which had not been fixed hr his own registrar, but by some other registrar, during the Vacation, and when he found that it was Ede) , to last all day he bad adjourned the Nether hearing. It was quite true that on that day he (lid not appear in court until half-past 12 ; rat it wax not a vary candid statement to say that he then IPrerel for the first time ;because the gentleman who made art statement must have known, and everybody in court bnew, that he was engaged in the private room, with counsel before him, f rem 11 o'clock to half-past 12. However, re 11:0 resolved to adopt a rule which, on conference with Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, he thought the right one. Thf business in chambers was increasing so rapidly it was mental that a d a y s h ou ld be fixed on purpose for it, so that dthight not interfere with the public business. Hepropoeed W fixTharadayforthat purpose, ou'which day nothing but ate business would be taken. On the other rotation 7 — Monday —no public business would be fixed an earlier hoar than twelve o'clock. That 'could give an hour on Monday, and all the day on Ilu r'daY, for private business. He hoped that this rule would not be productive of inconvenience to anyone. Registrar Hazlitt then read the rule as follows : No sitting for last examinations and order of discharge, * for either purpose separately, to bo appointed for an *rlier hour than noon on the days when the commis toner is the commissioner of the day. On Thursdays 6 0 sitting in court to be appointed for the commissioner." LONDON HOSPITAL. --(THIS DaY.--A meeting I the gov ernors of this institution was he ld to-day at the ea rl - room, Whitechapel-road, for the purpose of electing Principal physician. The choice of the governors fell leen Dr. Jabez Spence Ramskill, who has been for some irne the htnior assistant-physician. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1866. THE POLICE COURTS. ,(TILLS 44. z. BOW-STREET. obmth TO NER WI PLAY. William Richards, a lawyer's clerk, and Anne Richards, a seamstress, his wife, who refused to state their address, were charged with stealing, at Drury-lane Theatre, a cloak, value 20a., the property of Mrs. Harticastle, a lady residing in Brunswick-place, City-road. In court they gave the names of John Carter and Mary Carter. It appeared that police-constable Herrings of the A division, who wu on duty at the theatre, bad his attention called to the prisoners by Mr. Isaacs, the superintendent of the cloak room, who had some suspicion of them. Shortly afterwards he saw the male prisoner coming out of the theatre, with the end of a cloak hanging down souse inches below the skirt of his own coat, beneath which it was concealed. He followed the prisoner into the street and asked him what he had got there. He said it was his wife's cloak. Herringe took it from him and took him in custody. Presently they met the female prisoner who said the cloak belonged to her. Herringe asked her to de scribe it. Shoo-said it was a black cloth cloak, with a velvet collar. Inquiry was made at the theatre, and it did not appear that any such cloak as she described had been found there. The female prisoner, being the man's wife, was dis charged, and the man remanded. DIARYLEBONE. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ROBBERY. Tholl44s Worsley, painter, was charged on remand with stealing a watch and chain of the value of 271. Mr. Beard appeared to prosecute, and Mr. Pain defended. & Mr. Beard, in opening his case, said his client was a at highly respectable widow lady, named Elizabeth SS Hunt s residing at No. 10, W es tbourne-terV.ce North, la Paddington. On the night of the 26th ultimo, 84. after she had gone to bed, there was a ring as . at the bell. She went to the door and inquired who 84. was there. A gentleman whom she knew answered her, and Bt. his calling would be explained. It appeared that his client's N. laundress washed for him, and he called on his way home It for his linen and flannels. On this occasion he called 84. and Mrs. Hunt told him he was very late. She went into g the dining-room and brought out the parcel of at. washing and put it outside the door. Not hearing her at. friend she looked out and saw a woman walking away St with the bundle. She called to her to bring it back. St She reused, and made use of abusive language. st At the prusecutrix'a entreaty the prisoner and another man 80 brought her back. The man not in custody and the to woman entered the front dining-room, where they 100 stood by the folding door. The prisoner entered the back 140 dining-room, which Mrs. Hunt had latterly through ill- 14 ness wade her bedroom. The prisoner went to the mantel- ; shelf, amt pulling out a pencil and piece of paper, said he qt. Was a detective, and asked his client for her name and al address. She told the prisoner she did not believe he was M. a detective as he was too short, and as regarded her SS-. name and address that did not matter. She told re. them they could have something to drink for their tn. trouble. Prisoner refused and rushed out. The other et. man had a glass of gin ; they then left the house, at and directly after they had gone she missed her gold watch at from the mantel-shelf, where the prisoner had been stand - 16 ing. No one else h ad near the spot. She afterwards It saw the prisoner, and gave him into custody. Witnesses were called in support of the learned gentle- 88,. man's statement, and prisoner was committed for trial. St. Ilea was tendered and accepted for him. St. Bt. WESTMINSTER. St. POLICE NOTIONS OF MATRIMONIAL PRIVILEGE'S. John Cofian, a tall, powerful young man,was charged le with being drunk and disorderly. est. Police-constable 345 B said that last night he heard Is! a disturbance at a public-house near Coburg-row, and on 10 going there found the defendant and a woman. As witness approached defendant lashed at the woman, and struck her in the face. Then he endeavoured again to persuade the defendant to *o home, but he would not. Mr. Arnold—Did it not suggest itself to you when you t a saw this man assault a woman that it was your duty to st, take him into custody ? SI Constable—lt was his wife. Mr. Arnold—His wife? What has that to do with it ? This is an extraordinary police notion. It seems to be 10 supposed that if a woman is married she has a right to ho Bt knocked about as long as any brutal husband pleases. It si was your duty to take this man into custody when 10 you saw him commit an assault in your presence, 41 and to prevent a further breach of the peace. It is most Si absurd to suppose that a man has a tight to beat his wife St with impunity, rind I am astonished that you should have 11 refrained front doing your duty. The constable went on to state that, finding he could not 0 get rid of defendant, he locked him up. Defendant said ho came home, and missing his wife, 1 11 1 went to a public-house, and found her drinking. Mr. Arnold—l suppose you thought that very bad ? Defendant —Certainly. Mr. Arnold—So in order to teach her that she was acting very improperly you got drunk yourself, and while in that state considered you were entitled to administer correction in the shape of a beating. Defendant—l don't know that I beat her much. 8 Mr. Arnold—Beat her much ! You are fined 405., or committed for n month, and you will enter into re cognisance' to keep the peace to your wife for six months. WORSHIP-STREET. CAGED RURGLARS. — A SMART CAPITAL. John Sweeney, John Green, and William Bloram, each under N years of age, were charged with feloniously breaking and entering a counting-house, situate between Ilaggentone and the Hackney-road, and stealing there- from. Buckley and Painter, constables of the N division, while 1 on duty at 3 o'clock in the morning of the girth ult., 1 , observed at the corner of Gloucester-street a light in a i house on the opposite side, which, as they ap proached it, was extinguished. Painter got over a wall leading to the rear of the premises, and Buckley went to the street door. Presently there was heard a rush along the passage of the house, and attempts were made from within to pull the door open. Buckley, however, held it closed by t he knob, which afforded a good purchase for one hand, and sprang his rattle with the other. This brought a third constable to the spot, who took up Buckley's position while he went round to assist Painter. All was then silent, and as the constables approached each other, one from the front and the other from the hack, voices from the counting-house were heard exclaiming, " all light, we won't offer any resistance ; come in." In they did go, but cautiously, and there found the three prisoners. Two desks had been broken open, a large iron safe was partly forced, a case of mathe uiatical instruments, several books, and other articles were placed together, having been taken from the desks, which, however, yielded no further plunder, and the place was in the greatest possible confusion. The marks on the iron safe mentioned exactly fitted the point of a powerful instrument found near it, and which possibly might in time have done its work. Entrance had been effected through the back window on the ground floor. The prisoners kept their word, made no resistance, and of course could not offer any defence, doubtless hoping that they might be dealt with summarily. but a remand was ordered, and now evidence was adduced of Sweeney and Green having been sentenced each to three years' penal servitude, and liberated on tickets of-leave. Not any person slept in the house in question, and the office was occupied by a gentleman named Brown, who stated that he was engaged during the day in manag ing the books for the executors of a Mir. Detterick, lately deceased. The prisoners were fully committed for trial. LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE (BT ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) READING MEETING.-(THIS DAY INNKEEPERS' PLATE. Two miles and a half.

Oma ()Tsang. There are still very few dealings in the Stock Exchange, and the tone of the various markets remains dull. The impression now seems to be that no general recovery will take place this year, but it is hoped that in January, with the release of the dividends, and perhaps a further reduction in the Bank of England rate of discount, some revival of busi ness may occur. The transactions in Consols are chiefly confined to the monthly settlement, which will be concluded to-morrow, and quotations are unaltered. British railways and foreign stocks are inactive, but Italian Bonds of 1861 and Rus sian sail) show firmness. Some of the old Rus sian loans are also inquired for, chiefly on Conti nental account. The demand for money continues moderate, and the supply in some quarters is large. The rate for choice bills is 3/ to 4 per cent. ; and for short loans in the Stock Exchange, on English Govern ment securities, 3. Consols are now quoted est to a, ex div., both for money and to-morrow's settlement, and 881 to .g ex div., for the new account (January 10). Italian Bonds of 1861 and Russian scrip are in quired for, and have advanced per cent. Spanish Passive have declined Mexican remain heavy, at the reduction of yesterday. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 571, to 5812 ; ditto 1865, 321 to ; Greek, 131 to 14 ; Spanish Passive, 19.1 to 20 ; ditto Certificates, 131 to ; Italian of 1861, 55g to c, , ; Mexican, 181 to 1. United States 5-20 Bonds have improved 1 per cent., viz., to 7011 to Erie Railway shares are quoted 461 to 47, and Illinois Central, 77 to it, showing no change. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are r better, at 141 to 15, and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference firm, at 3lt to 1. It is reported that a sufficient number of shares in the Nicaragua Railway have already been applied for to float the undertaking. The shares are quoted to 1 prem. International Financial shares are quoted 2T: to 1. die. ; London Financial, 17i to 16-i dia. ; General Credit, 21 to 2i dis. ; Credit Foncier, 51 to 1 die. ; National Discount, 9 to „ prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 161 to 1. Yesterday being the 4th of the month, there was a good demand at the Bank discount office. The general market was quiet, but the rates were firm at V, to 4 per cent. for choice paper. Considering the accumulation in the Bank of England of the large funds collected by the liquidators of failed companies, together with the fact that we have now arrived at a season when unusually heavy pay ments on government account begin to be made into that establishment, and when most persons arc desirous of accumulating good balances in pre paration for the numerous demands at the close of the year, it would seem probable that the Bank minimum will be maintained at its existing level of 4 per cent. for some weeks to come, although it is very possible that increased ease and lower rates may prevail upon the payment of the January dividends. About 10,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for Alexandria. Of the 479,0001. by the Seine, from the West Indies and Mexico, 106,0007. is gold, 61,000 1 . bar silver, and 312,0001. Mexican dollars. The Ripon left Southampton yesterday with 331/. in gold for Madras, 4751. in silver for Ahanghae, and 50,3577. in silver for Hong Kong. The excep tional nature of the latter remittance has already been referred to ; the money is required for the purposes of the Hong Kong mint. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were firm.

The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company have issued the annexed advertisement, notifying an increase in the existing sail communication with Bombay.

' As regards the larger question of the abolition of the search practice, M. Fould considers it a matter for diplo matic negotiation between the French and English go vernments, and that the most efficacious way of dealing a :th it is by reciprocal action. lie is understood to be in favour of the most liberal reforms.

Tim CarrLE Pt.turz.—Thc cattle plague has reappeared unaer very singular circumstances in the Amoundernesi Hundred of North Lancashire. A few days ago Mr. Thomas Avis&ll, of Salisbury-hall Farm, Elston. in the hundred named, bad a bullock which showed signs cf illness. O n Sunday it was visited by the local inspector, but the case was then not sufficiently determined ; afterwards the bullock got worse, clear symp toms of the plague were manifested, and on Monday it was killed and buried. Three bullocks and a heifer, which had been in contact with the diseased animal, have 1,1114:0 been killed. How the plague h as g ot u p on Aspinall's tarns iis a complete mystery. Five months ago the plague pre.. vaned upon all the contiguous farms, but AspinalFs re . maid clear. Now, however, when all the other neigh bourine ng farms are free, the plague has come upon it.
