THE progress of Reform is reflected in the lan guage of its opponents. Failing argument, they descend to calumny. If the advocate of mea sures distasteful to them is a workman, he is depicted as a good-for-nothing fellow, who has tried various trades and failed in each, and who having been dismissed by master after master, and from employment after employment, devotes his energies to the task of stirring up feuds between artisans and capitalists, and living on the credulity and contributions of his dupes. Such is the portrait which several of our contemporaries have drawn of Mr. GEoftor. PorrEa, and which, having minutely delineated it, they have been compelled completely, and with many apologies, to efface. On the other hand, if the Reformer is a capitalist, his character is depicted by Tory journalists and by the herd of minor Tory politicians in the colours which, according to conventional opinion, only the more vulgar sort of Socialist charlatans condescend to employ. He is the oppressor of his workmen—hated, and, on conve nient occasion, hooted by them ; taxing then• strength by excessive hours of labour, re lieving their necessities by the scantiest con tributions, or declining to afford them even the smallest assistance in their utmost tribulation. Such is the picture which, following the Right Hon. STEPHEN CAVE, Vice-President of the Board of Trade, and Mr. GARTH, one of her MAJESTY'S Counsel, and Member of Parliament for the borough of Guildford, the smaller Tory jour nalists have lately busied themselves in paint ing of Mr: Riciour. We are not anxious to ascertain with absolute precision what is the word which most accurately describes the language of men who state as true what they do not know to be true, what they have no sufficient reason to think true, and what, as a matter of fact, is absolutely false. Mr. BRIUHT, calumniated at a distance, is defended at home. The prophet has, for once, honour in his own country. He finds his eulogists among those whose dealings with him are closest ; in the class whose independence and intelligence Mr. DISRAELI has especially eulogized, and in the town in which, according the same voluntary testimony, those qualities have been, of all places in England, most conspi cuously displayed —among the operatives of Ruch dale, the pioneers of the co-operative movement, in which the future industry of England is so deeply involved. The utmost degradation of political controversy is invoked in the assertions which some of our contemporaries have been betrayed into making, and forced into retracting. If their statements were true in fact, they would still be irrelevant in argument. CROMWELL'S wart and SYLLA'S blotches and C.ESAR . , baldness might just as reasonably be urged against the policy of those rulers as the alleged personal misdeeds of Mr. liRJI,ILT against the political measures of which lie is the advocate. Mr. BaiuliT gives frequent opportunities for legitimate retaliation. But his language, however severe and unmeasured, and, it may be, at times unjustifi able, is always confined to the political conduct of individuals and the social demeanour of classes. He criticises what ought to be criticised, whether his own judgments be just or ill-founded. The claims of a party to power, of individuals to poli tical leadership, of classes to social ascendancy, are natural and necessary subjects of discus sion ; and the most extravagant errors on these points, expressed in the moat violent language, though they may cill for correction and rebuke, afford no excuse for aspersions on the private conduct and character of the persons who fall into them. The traditions of personality, which some public writers seem anxious to maintain, sire derived from times which reflect little honour upon literature. They go back to the period when men of letters were the parasites of the great, whose spleen they gratified by their libels upon opponents, and fur whom they made mirth by their coarse and unscrupulous lampoons. The era of licence was the era of servility. THEODORE Hum: was the legitimate descendant of WAMBA, the son of WirLesa. Personality is ordinarily the laughter-making of dependants, who, like the servants in the comedy of High Life vainly seek to disguise their flunkeyism by aping the manners, and stealing the clothes, and borrowing the titles of their masters, and speaking with all the airs of My Lord Duke and tiir If . The vulgarity of abuse in modern j.mriudisin I.i generally found in close association with the eqmd vulgarity of the pretensions of gen- THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 1, 1867. tlemen's gentlemen to superior " gentility." We need not say how completely the claim is refuted by the scurrility of those who make it. Our first great English poet, in depicting the perfect mirror of knightly courtesy, makes it a leading feature of his hero's character that of "no Wight no " villainy he said." In truth, personality, as involving an irrelevance in argument, and the wanton infliction of pain, will always be avoided by a scrupulous opponent, and as usually implying at least the risk of untruth and of calumny, will be shunned by one who respects his own character, whatever he may think of his adversary's. It is the ordinary resource weak and barren minds, who desire to di eel t attention from theirown lack of knowledge or infirmity of reason. Mental occupa tion is the great check upon scandal ; idle tongues and empty minds are most prone to defamation. A little history, a little law, and a little political eco nomy, would put a stop to a large portion of such uanies as those for which Mr. GEOKCE PoTTEK has exacted a treble apology, and against which the work-people and fellow-townsmen of Mr. BRIGHT have raised their voices in emphatic protest. betrayed the Republic as soon as they had learnt not to fear it. They have no loyalty towards the Second Empire as a dynasty or as a form of government, being neither Bonapartists nor believers in any royal or imperial infalli bility. After describing the efforts of the imperial government to satisfy the nation, the rising demand for more liberty, and the nature of the new reforms promised, the Deily NOM concludes that it is simply impossible to govern a people so bold and acute in intellect, so quickwitted, so critical, so keenly perceptive of the ridiculous as the French, by a system compounded of the characteristics of the First Empire, th e fte.stomtion, and the Monarchy of July, without glory, without legitimacy, without liberty and peace. It is simply impossible to suppress the political interests and desires of a people nursed in the principles of the Revo lution of 'B9, or to satisfy them by substituting one man's enlightened, but arbitrary direction for the free co-opera tion of an intelligent community. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) MR. BRII.IIT AND REFORM. I Hitherto the Times did not look upon versatility as one of the oratorical gifts of Mi. Bright, but in his recent appearances at Rochdale he has conic forward in the totally new and moat alluring attitude of a good, easy man, of strong convictions, of inoffensive habits and sus ceptible feelings ; one who has fallen on evil tongues and evil days, and winces tremulously under the pressure of libels and calumnies which he wants alike the spirit, the power, and the will to retort. In one part of Mr. Bright's complaints the Times most heartily agrees, and considers that nothing can be more unfair, nothing more unhand some, nothing more unjust, than the private attacks of which he has been the object. But to Mr. Bright's inquiry why it is that political controversies are car ried on with a bitterness known to no other disputes the Tines replies by asking who bee set so evil an ex ample, and one so fruitful of mischief. With the excep tion of O'Connell and Cobbett, the Titus doubts whether a choicer garland of abuse against parties and persons could be gathered from the speeches of any other public man of the present century than from those of Mr. Bright, and therefore it is not Cthout a certain feeling of plea. sure that it observes how keenly the man who has set this ill example to our public speaker, seems to feel that very castigation of which he is so lavish to others. It is sur prised that the man who make, it his business to decry institutions of which we are justly proud, to pervert the facts of history, and to praise other countries at our ex pense, should suppose that he can do these things without raising up some faint echo of his own spirit of bitterneu. It condoles with Mr. Bright for having found, like other persecutor,, persons almost as zealous and as bitter as himself, and exhorts bins to improve the pain that he now feels by drawing flow it the resolution to treat other, a little more as he himself would like to be treated. In the opinion of the Herald the portrait, if it were a true one, which Mr. Bright drew of himself at Rochdale, would be the greatest libel ever uttered against the people of England. Mr. Bright has proved too much, if he has proved anything, The very example which he is so fond of quoting—the repeal of the corn laws—shows that the ordinary powers of that parliament which be has maligned are quite equal to deal with the gre►test class questions which can arise. Unlike his friend Mr. Cobden, Mr. Bright has made his political economy secondary to his politics. He has always been impatient of the abstract principles of free trade whenever they conflict with his political interests, and shut his eyes to the patent fact that democracies in all countries tend to protection. That an obscure member of " a small but soicewhat re markable religious sect," with no other claims to back him but an earnest belief in his own superior honesty and intelligence, should have been able to play so conspicuous a part in the history of his country, is, in the opinion of the nimbi, a sufficient refutation of the silly and wanton slanders which Mr. Bright is in the habit of venting upon the English governing system. The i'ost thinks that Mr. Bright a not tar wrong when he asserts that parliament is impotent to deal with certain questions, such as the upsetting of the established church and the redistribution of landed property. The House of Commons could indeed pass a measure denation alising the church, or a measure confiscating the estates of large landowners, but the exercise of the power would, so to speak, break its arm. It would be straining constitutional power to an unconstitutional pur pose, and the house might be dissolved on the issue arising out of its action. It may or may not be difficult to induce the existing House of Commons to change its constitution, but Mr. Bright must not deceive himself as to the n►ture of the complications which would tread on the heels of the changes he foreshadows ; and it is possible that the impeachment which he has again thrown, as it were, in the face of parliament, will serve to fortify its independence, and to justify before the final court of appeal a constitutional, comprehensive, and equitable modification of the representative system. Mr. Bright never before said so much of himself as in his late speech at Rochdale, and the Star is sorry that it, needed unscrupulous virulence on the part of enemies, and emphatic demonstr►tions of affection on the part of friends, to induce him to reveal the pure springs of his public conduct. In reply to the argument made use of by both tones and " moderates" that Mr. Bright ought in candour to admit that most of the errors in legislation and policy of which he complains were heartily shared by the nation at large, and that be has no right to demand a representative assembly better or wiser than the nation it represents, the Star points to the fact that almost every one now concurs in the wisdom of what was done through the exertions of liberal minorities, struggling fora time fruitlessly but eventually with seocess, against majorities in favour of things as they were, and contends that thorough representation is the most educating and elevating of all political influences, and that if the People were really represented, political knowledge would go to and fro in the land, and wisdom be increased. The cause to be pursued by the liberal Nifty must, says the Telegraph, be practically determined by the nature of the speech from the throne. That speech might distinctly promise a substantive measure of reform ; and should such be the miie, the government proposal would receive a fair and impartial consideration. The tactics of the conservatives in 1866 will not be imitated by reformer@ in 1867 ; and the fair play which was denied to the Russell-Gladstone ministry will not be refused to Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli. Should the cabinet trifle with tho question by adopting a policy of procrastination, the Telegraph ventures to assume that the address would not be allowed to pass without a protest, and that the liberal party would invite the house to record its dissatisfaction with so gross an act of omission or of equivocation. THE RECOND EMPTRE. In an exhaustive article under the above title, the Daily tc a reviews the policy and performances of the French government since the overthrow of the republic of 1848. Whatever, it says, may be the final verdict of history on the violent end of the republic of 1848, and the violent beginning of the empire of 1852, on the circumstances and conditions which prepared and pennitted that immense disaster or that magnificent restoration, as I friends or enemies may choose to call the coop d'Olat of December 2, Is.il, it is impossible at the present date to doubt that a very considerable majority of the French nation did accept the results of that conspiracy, and ratify them by the solemn election of its chief to supreme power over themselves, and by a strange perversion or defect of logic, over their descendants also. The results, too, owing to the genius of the nation and the enlightenment of the sovereign, have not been so disastrous as might have been apprehended. France aggrandised, in dustry freed, and public works promoted have done something to mitigate the loss of political liberty, but it was impossible that any material and outward grandeur could reconcile a nation like the French to perpetual ex clusion from the benefits of freedom. Even the Parisian bourgeois sickens of his idolatry of power. No govern ment can count upon the gratitude of the French bour geoisie. They betrayed the monarchy of July, made in their own image, not because they were not free enough, but because, like Jeshurun, they had waxed fat. They THE RANK CHARTER ACT. Last year, as was natural enough, says the Times, the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce appointed • com mittee to make a fresh examination of the Bank Charter Act, and the committee yesterday presented their report. They have come to three resolutions : the first, that the Bank Act should be repealed and the government loan repaid ; the second, that " legal tender" should consist of gold and silver or notes of the value of If. and up wards, issued by the government, payable on demand ; the third, that the government should issue, on the se curity of stock, notes of another kind, to the extent of half the annual revenue, inconvertible, but receivable for taxes or other payments to the government. These reso lutions are accompanied by a report which, to some extent, explains what might otherwise be unintelligible, and shows that the committee are, in the opinion of the Time., very imperfectly acquainted with the nature of the act they propose to repeal. It then proceeds to combat the conclusions of the committee, and says that the Bank Charter Act gives no facilities, imposes no impediment in the way of commerce. Stumbling-block as it is, its machinery is perfectly simple, and its single object, which it perfectly secures, is to provide that the live-pound bank note shall always be exchangeable for five sovereigns.

His excellency stated that the government had already given the subject its most serious consideration, but could not pronounce a decided opinion until the report of the royal commission bad been published. He hoped that the report would be favourable to some action being taken. The Attorney- General observed that the Irish executive bad unani mously recommended the government to take the rail ways under its control, and he hoped parliament would sanction the project.

The Paris concert season, which always accom panies fashionable arrangements at this period of the year, has commenced. At the Conservatoire the old pro gramme is reconstituted ; the performances have little variation, but the routine is observed, because it is rarely destitute of good taste. At the popular concerts of classical music there are some excellent instrumental performances- It is said that the Paris General Omnibus Com pany will run 1$ new omnibuses during the exhibition. TILE LORD RECTORSHIP ()PST. ANDREW'S UN IVER arrY.—Our correspondent, writing from St. Andrew's yes terday, says :—" Now that the day is at hand on which Mr. J. S. Mill is to be formally installed as Lord Rector of the university here, the desire to be present on the occasion i s manifested with an tmlooked-for unanimity. Unfortu nately the eagerness of the public of St. Andrew's to hear Mr. Mill cannot be gratified to the full. The hall, or rather library, in which his predecessors have deli vered their addresses can contain but a small number of persons, while the town-hall is to be occupied for other less purely intellectual and academical purposes. Never theless the reception he will meet with will probably not be limited in warmth by the dimensions of the room in which the ceremony is to take place. Judging from expres sion, of opinion made by the inhabitants of this city, the feeling appears to be general that to bays such a Lord Rector is an honour of which they are proud." - - CONSCIENCE MONEY. —His Excellency the Go vernor has received halves of new Bank of England checks for 750 t., and the Hon.

According to the latest news from Constantinople the pacification of Candia continues without further disorders. Of 82 Garibaldian volunteers who had remained in the island, thirteen have capitu lated. Those who disembarked recently have been dispersed with a loss of GO killed. The nomination of a Christian Pacha in Candia is expected immediately. Albania is for the present pacified. The Porto has not consented to the evacuation of Belgrade claimed by Servia. Joseph Karam has left Syria to take up his residence in Algeria. The French government has granted to him a pension. The Sultan's guard of volunteers from all countries has been disbanded. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AUSTRIA. VIENNA, FEB. 1. The Vienna papers state that the Porte has re fused to evacuate the citadel of Belgrade, but con sents to the evacuation of the other Servian for tresses garrisoned by Turkish troops. The Porte is also said to agree to such a reduction of the Turkish garrison in Belgrade as to render the occu pation merely nominal. Ire definitive declaration has yet been made by the Porte in reference to the proposals of mediation from France and Austria. An Austrian man-of-war, commanded by Captain Herzfeld, has left for the waters of Candia. ROUMANIA. JAISSY, JAN. 31. Prince Charles, Hospodar of Roumania, accom panied by Prince Stirbey, arrived here to-day. He met with an enthusiastic reception from the people during his journey.

EGYPTIAN COMMERPIAL AND TRADING COMPANY (LI MITED).-( THIS DAY., An extraordinary general meeting was held thin afternoon at the London Tavern, Mr. LARKiIu: in the chair, for the purpose of considering • resolu tion embodying • ;Kleine for reducing the number of shares to the capital of the company as originally issued, by extinguishing the 13,813 shares of the addi tional capital created in 1864, in accordance with the resolution proposed at the general meeting on the 31st December last. The circular to the shareholders con tained the following : " I am instructed to ask, whether you are preparedto sell at the price of U. 10s. to the company, any, and, if so, what number of shares registered in your name, with • view to the extinguishment of a like number of the 13,813 shares of the additional capital created in 1864, the terms 'of proposed purchase being as under :- 21. cash on 31st January, 1867; U. cash on 30th April, 1867 ; and the remaining 2/. 10s. on .10th June, 1867. Should the number of shares tendered for sale exceed the number proposed to be extinguished, a rateable reduction will be made. In the event of no answer being received from you, on or before the 16th instant, it will be assumed that you do not avail yourself of the option." Mr. DRAKE (the company's solicitor) stated that in response to the circular, applications had been received to the extent of about 20,000 shares, and it was proposed that the apportionment should be made rateably. He then read a series of resolutions for carrying out the object. The CHAI REAR having proposed these resolutions, A SHAREHOLDER inquired how many of the shires be longed to the director., to which, The CHAIRMILN replied 0,000. adding that the object of the directors in applying was to benefit the company. Mr. Tom and other directors expressed their willingness to withdraw their applications. After a rather warm discussion, the resolutions were negatived on a show of hands by 33 to 16. The CHAIRMAN stated that having recently returned from Egypt, where he had closely examined the company's affairs, be was of opinion that the loss sus tained was rather less than 21. per share. SCOTTISH AUSTRALIAN INVESTMENT COMPANY (LIMITED). MEETING.-(THIS DAY.) The half-yearly meeting of this company was held this afternoon atj the London Tavern ; Sir S. PEAR.4OI4 in the chair. The report having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption, congratulating the shareholders upon their escape from harm during the recent commercial crisis, and the quiet and steady progress that bail been made during the year. As no sales of property had taken place, the colonial profit had been pure business profit, derivable from rents, interest, and commission. The value of the company's securities was more than double the amount lent upon them. The pastoral property was developing in a very satisfactory manner, and the company at the present time possessed Is,ooo head of cattle, and 40,000 sheep. The colony gene rally was in a most prosperous state, and the wool trade rapidly improving. After several questions on matters of detail had been asked and answered, the report was unanimously adopted, and the recommended dividend of 10 per cent., leaving 8,0171. to the credit of the reserve fund, was agreed to. On the proposition to re-elect Sir E. Pearson as director, Mr. Ward said he thought Sir Edwin was note fit person to sit at the board, because he refused, at the general wish of a meeting of the shareholders of the Scottish Australian Mining Company, to resign his seat at that board. Sir E. PEARSON said the shareholders who attended the meeting did not represent the entire body, and they had acted from the first under a complete mistake. A Braseron said Sir E. Pearson had resigned his seat at the board of the other company. Mr. Wean then withdrew his opposition and all impu tations, and Sir E. Pearson was unanimously elected. Mr. Whetham was also re-elected director, and Mr. E. Becher, auditor. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors was given at the close of the meeting. Mr. N. 0. Coope, of the firm of Inde, Coupe, and CO. Brewers, Burton-on• Trent, has (mays the Nottingham Journal) contributed the munificent donation of 1,0001. towards the intended new school for the middle classes to be built at Denton, near Uttoxeter.

When this case was called on five special jurymen only answered to their names, and as neither party would pray a tales, the case having been tried before in the Bail Court by a common jury, the case went off. Mr. Justice Shee said it was quite clear, from what they bad seen that morning, that the present system had broken down. It could not be attributed to the solicitors, because in reducing the list they supposed they were en suring the attendance of persona who would be summoned, nor was it the fault of the sheriff, so far as he could see. The fault, if any, must there:ore rest with the parish officers in carelessly putting down the names of persons on the list without taking the trouble to ascertain if they resided in their parishes. One of the jurymen said that he knew Mr. De la Rue, who bad been represented by the summoning officer as having left his residence or place of business, to be living there, and to be a partner in a large firm. The Hon. Mr. Campbell, the associate. said a note would be taken on it, and inquiries made respecting it. Mr. Justice Shee said that as the case had been once tried by a common jury and occupied two days, it was very desirable that the second trial should be before a special jury. He understood that the Lord Chief Justice had had frequently to make remarks on the absence of special jurymen or he should not have mentioned the sub ject. It was a pity that the Solicitor-General was not present, because if he had been he might have been induced to consider the subject with a view to legislative improve ment. In that case, Mr. Coleridge (the learned counsel in two of the cases) might be usefully employed in assisting him. SHARPE r. THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This case also had to go off in consequence of the non attendance of special jurymen. One of the jurymen complained that he knew several gentlemen who were summoned, but who never attended, because they were told that it could be made all right. The matter ought to be investigated and exposed, be cause it was not fair towards those who attended and dis charged their duty. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings at Nisi Prius, in Middlesex.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Bovill and a Common Jury.) PARSONS AND WIPE V. MARVIN. This was an action to recover damages for an assault upon the plaintiff, Mrs. Parsons. Mr. Bridge appeared for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Gibbons for the defendant. The plaintiff's case was, that last year they lodged in the house of the defendant in Cambridge-street, Pimlico. On the evening of the 31st of July, the wife was going upstairs with • jug containing about a quart of water. As she was paring the rooms on the first ffoor,she sung " Cheer, boys, cheer ; hurrah for honest labour ;" and she added " Better have honest labour than keep a bad house." She did not know that there was anybody there, but the defendant came out of his room, struck her twice on the head with a stick, and was about to strike a third time, when she threw the jug of water at him, and the husband almost immediately came in and took her to her own apartments. She bled • great deal, and has since been subject to headache. A medical gentleman saw her about • dozen times. His opinion was that the injuries were caused by smart blows with a light cane. He (lid not think that her general health was much affected by the blows ; but as Mrs. Parsons was between 10 and 60 years old, the blows would be more serious to her than to a younger person. in cross-examination it appeared that Mrs. Parsons be lieved that • Mr. Cornell was living on the first floor with a woman who was not his wife, and that she bad some objection to some other persons who were in the borne. She said that she was singing to herself, but that she did not care if Cornell heard it. A summons was taken out in the Police Court, but Mr. Parsons was too ill to attend on the hearing, and those proceedings were abandoned, and the present action brought. Subsequently Mr. Parsons, who was • solicitor's clerk, wrote to the defendant, offering to accept an apoloa, •`r!. for expenses, and 21. '2s. as a contri bution to the Westminster Hospital in settlement of the action. The case for the defendant, who was an inspector of clothing in the employ of the government wax that all the persons in the house were respectable. The defen dant was just going out for a walk, and hearing the noise made by Mrs. Parsons, he told her to be quiet and go up stairs. She called him • swindler, a blackguard, and • haw.ly.house keeper. He said she was drunk , and had better go upstairs. She then turned upon him like a fury and drenched him with water. She was three stairs above the defendant, and he raised his stick and struck at the ewer which be thought was about to descend upon his head as she was trying to hit it, and in this way the blows were struck. It appeared that Mrs. Parsons had previously complained of two girls who had got to lodge in the house by means of false references, and it being found that they were not respectable they were immediately got rid of. The defendant added it was true that Mrs. Parsons was drunk, an allegation • hich bad been moat positively denied by herself and her husband. It was also said that Mrs. Parsons was not merely singing but shouting, and had been for a quarter of an hour before the assault. The jury found for the defendant. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

This was an action by a ma mervant against his late master a gentlemanmuter, residing in London, for assault and false imprisonment. Mr. Gough was for the plaintiff • Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Archibald for the defendant. It appeared that the defendant gave the plaintiff into the custody of • policeman, and caused a warrant to be issued for searching the lodgings of the plaintiff's sister on suspicion that the plaintiff had robbed him of certain plate. The search warrant was executed, but none of the missing property was discovered. The plaintiff also sued for wares due to him for dismissal without notice. After Mr. Gough had opened the case, he called the plaintiff as a witness, but he did not appear. Thereupon, the record was withdrawn, the plaintiff to pay the coats of the day, and also of the defendant's special jury. Mr. Baron Martin observed that the plaintiff might consider he was very well treated. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) GATEHOUsE r. ZATEWWMi.. Dr. Spinks, Q.C., and Mr. Robins for the petitioner. She was the wife of a surgeon, and was married to him at Bristol in 1853, at which tune he was a student in medi cine. His mother-in-law was very kind to him, bought him a practice in Doswell-street, and supplied him with means to take his M.D. degree at one of the Scottish universities. Nevertheless, he treated his wife with shameful harshness and neglect. He once gave her a black eye, and he committed several other assaults on her. He left her for long periods and went wandering all over the world, but at last he came home and took a widow named Thane into keeping. On thiv state of facts, Mrs. Gatehouse prayed for a dissolution of her marriage, on the ground of adultery, deaertitn, and cruelty. The Court reserved its judgment on the question of de sertion. K K,MALL r. knnALL Dr. Spinks, Q.C., and Mr. Searle appeared for the peti• tioner, the wife of Captain Kendall, who was co-respondent in 1864 in the suit of Rowe v. Rowe, and against whom damages to the amount of 1,200 f were awarded. The mar riage was in 1861, at some place in India ; but the parties soon afterwards came home, and took up their residence in Wales. After the trial referred to Captain Kendall adopted a very strange course. At that time his wife being on the point of being confined he re turned to her, begged her pardon, and was received back. He then arranged that they should go to Panama as Cap tain and Mm. Hardinge, in order to throw Mr. Rowe 's attorney off the scent. He started by himself but he wrote to his wife to join him. She accord ingly sailed for the Pacific, but when she reached Panama she found a letter informing him that he hail been " traced by the hellhounds of that scoundrel who should be nameless," and begging her to return to England. As soon as she got home her husband's agent handed her is letter informing her that it was useleasto carry on the deceit any longer, that he hail only returned to her from motives of humanity lest she should Butter during her confinement, that he had taken out Mrs. Rowe with him, and that she was now cohabiting with him. The explanation he offered for this conduct was that lie loved her as a mister, but that he could not give up Mrs, Howe, even if the tortures of hell stared him in the face. He suggested that she should despise him as a vile wretch; but be promised that though a ruined man, he would never let her or her child want, and advised her to return to her father in India. The court made a decree nisi with costs, viii give the petitioner the custody of her daughter Adele, the only surrii nig child of the marriage. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Coramialioner Goulburo.) IN ILE HINDNANMH. This cue came before the court under peculiar circus,. stances. The bankrupt, described as of Pennyfieldsl'opi nr , ship-owner and master mariner, presented his petition in May last and obtained his order of discharge in due cours e , but he was subsequently arrested at the suit of a creditor. and now applied, under the 162nd section of the act of 1861, to be released out of custody. The application had been made in the first instance to Mr. Justice Byles, but was referred by him to this court. Mr. B. Griffiths appeared for the bankrupt, and B r , Brough for the opposing creditor. The application was resisted mainly upon the gr oun d that the debt of the detaining creditor, if it had been cor rectly returned in the schedule, would have increased the indebtedness to over 3001., thereby necessitating a stamp o f ✓. upon the petition. whereas the debts were stated at 2641., and a stamp of U. only impressed upon the !lei. tion. The deficiency in the stamp, it was contended, invalidated the whole proceedings, including the order o f discharge which had been granted to the bankrupt. After hearing the learned counsel, His Honour held that the objection to the stamp up on the petition was made too late, sad he directed the im mediate release of the bankrupt. Application granted.

The trial of the primoners charged with scuttling the Severn, was re-commenced this morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. Smith, of the firm of Smith, Sim n, and Co., the brokers of the Severn, produced the bills they had accepted respectively for 1,0001, and 7611. ss. in payment for the balance due upon the purchase of the ship from Mr. Sweet. Mr. Ward was then re-called and was cross-examined by Serjeant Atkinson. He said that Holdsworth was in troduced to him as a general merchant, and he never knew him as a sltipbroker. Dean introduced him to biol. The salt was sent to him to be disposed of in the ordinary way of business. In answer to a question put by the learned serjeant, the witness, said that no charge was made against him in reference to this transaction. _ Ribton—The original introduction with Holds. worth was in reference to wine, and bad nothing to do with this ship. Mr. R. C. Smith deposed that he carried on business u a ship insurance broker in George-yard, Lombard. street, and he had one partner, Mr. Simpson. He bad known Holdsworth for about six and Berwick for about five years. He did not know anything of Webb, and only saw hint the day before he was arrested. Witness had bad business transactions with Berwick and Holds. worth, in which they were jointly concerned, and had frequently advanced money to them upon ships. He ad. vaned money through the firm to Berwick in reference to a vessel called the Jane Brown, and this money was paid. In the beginning of 1566 Holdaworth applied to him in reference to the purchase of a ship. He said he had a friend who wished to purchase the ship, and ha came to them so a broker to divide oounuission. He was asked what kind of ship it was, and lie sail it was a hoe ship and would sell well in China, but he could do nothing unless they relieved him of a mortgage that was upon it, and he added that the vessel was already under charts at a high rate of freight, for Hong Kong or Shanghai After some further conversation witness's partner asked who his friend was, and he said he ea a respectable man, and he described him as Thomas Ward and Co. W itness said be would make inquiries about Ward ; and Holdsworth, in answer to a opiotwa put to him, said it would require about 3.500/. to relieve the ship from the mortgage. Some inquiries were thele, and they refused to take Ward alone as security, and Holdsworth then proposed that Berwick should become security for Ward. Witness observed that Berwick had lost a ship only shortly before, and they supposed he was in funds, and Holdsworth said be could pay 1,000/. at once on account of the purchase of the ship. An arrange ment was then made that Berwick should pay 1,00/.; that a bill should be accepted by the manager of a cer tain ship insurance club for 7eo/. ; that they should receive two-thirds of the freight, and should stand mortgagees to the extent of 3,500/. or 4,0001. upon the ship and freight. Under this armigement witusia's firm was to advance the amount last-mentioned. The sum of 1,01101. was subse quently paid to witness's firm, and bills for 3,G71/. odd, accepted by Berwick, were handed to him, and he then gave back the 1,000/. to Holdsworth for the purpose, N he understood, of fitting out the ship. They asked f ur further security, mad Berwick executed a mortgage upon some land belonging to him at Liverpool in their favour, and the ship was also mortgaged to the firm by WanL The interest that was to be paid upon the lo a n w as 10 per cent. . . , The mortgage deed was put in and read. The transac tions between the parties appeared to be of rather a corn plicated character, bus the result seemed as above stated. The witness was then asked to produce his bilk, amount ing together to 3,500 f. which had been accepted by them, and handed to Mr. C ra wshaw and paid, but he said he had not got them. Re admitted that he had received s sub. Fauna duces tecum to produce them. Mr. Justice Blackburn asked him why he had net done so? It was his duty to have produced the whole of the documents mentioned in the subjs.:ma and the effect of the non-production of the documents might be to INatie justice. Mr. Smith, in answer to further questions. said that probably his partner Mr. Simpson had got the bills. Mr. Simpson was called into court. but he said he had not got the bills and they were probably at the office. Mr. Justice Blackburn told him to send for them ; and said if they were not produced in half an hour he would fine him 100/. _ . Mr. Smith then went on to say that, under the arrange. meut with the prisoners, the amount due to Mr. Craw• shave was paid off, and the ship was free so far as he sou concerned; the balance due to Mr. Sweet was also paid, the whole amount paid for the purchase of the ship to the last-mentioned gentleman being *1,5001. The balance now duo to witness upon the transactions was 3.700/., which WAS received upon the mortgage, and the other securities referred to, and also upon the policies of insurance that had been effected upon the vessel. In the course of the further examination of this witness he was asked to produce another document, and he said he had not got it. Mr. Justice Blackburn said he was really very much on' prised at his conduct. It appeared very much as though he desired to baffle the purposes of justice. Mr. Smith said he was very sorry, but he award his lordship that he had no such intention. Mr. Justice Illackbnru said be could rot tell what he really intended, but it looked very much like as though he desire., to do what be had stated. Directions were then given that the .hied he sent for to the witness's solicitor, in whose hands. it W 34. s tated, it had been placed. Mr. Smith proceeded to state that by his own directions policies were effected to the amount of .),:risif. through Messrs. Fraser and Co. One Was for 4,040. on the ship Severn, valued at 10,0001., which was on the hull only. Another was 500/. in the Friend in Need In-curses t 4 . 444 rimy, also upon the ship. The third policy was not prod doted, and it was directed to be sent for.
