On the oc casion of the disturbance about the dinner Mr. Chetwynd had been dressed for dinner a long time, and I believe he bad sent off an excuse to Beandesert. Mrs. Chetwynd merely told me that her husband was very much put out, and would not listen to reason. She was sobbing. When I saw she was in such distress I went to Mr. Chet wynd and said ".The night is very wet, sir ; yo u can't mean Mrs. Chetwy n d t o go away. He said. "I do Malin it—its no use, she must go." I cannot tell how loeg she was away ; nor did I notice that the respondent seemed unhappy about it. On the occasion in September, 1861, I had seen Mr. Chetwynd speaking to &maroon, and I was appealed to by Mrs. Chetwynd to repeat what I had said. I was so excited by the scene which followed that I did not notice whether Mr. Chetwynd struck the petitioner. I know Mr. Henry Mathews. I only remember him as an occasional visitor. I knew Mrs. Chetwynd go from home with out her husband's knowledge. I remember the family going to New Brighton. Mr. Chetwynd remained about • week, and Mrs. Chetwynd stayed with the children for some days later. Re-examined—l was called in the house " Norma." Charles Smith-1 was in the service of the respondent the whole of 1861, as groom. I recollect the grand meet on the Ist of April. Mrs. Chetwynd went there aloe'. There had been a heavy rain, and the weather was wet. It was not quite dark when she came home. After a short time she came into the saddle-room very wet and cold, and I gave her a chair to sit before the fire. Mre. Corns and Mrs. Price came to her ; bat I don't recollect whether they brought anything to her. She wiabed me to saddle • horse for her, but I objected, and she asked me to get it reedy by 4 the next morning. I then went home, and the next morning she had the horse. She was still wearing the same habit, and was very wet and cold, I accompanied her to Stafford, which is about Id miles. It was still raining. We went to the Hough. I took the horses to an inn, and remained there till Mrs. Chetwynd ordered me to go home. Croes-emunined—Mrs. Chetwynd hired me, but Mr. Chetwynd paid my wages. He paid in. 14s. a week, and she 4s. additional. She also gave me an extra stable dress. told Mr. Chetwynd about it. I usually went with ' my misuses hunting when she went without my master. She took great delight in field sports. Mr. Chetwynd went once to the meet, but he never followed the hounds. I was in the habit of drivin g my mistress to Stafford. I drove to Mr. Mathew lodgings. I don't know Mr. Holmes the ironmonger's. I drove Mrs. Chetwynd next door to Shaw the saddler's. I have driven Mrs. Chetwynd to Miss Edwarils'e several times. I may have driven her to Stafford during the &seizes and sessions ; but I don't re collect. Sometimes when I have driven her to Miss Edwards's she has stayed most of the day. Mrs. Chetwynd had a private letter beg for • short time. She might have had the private bag for three weeks or • month. I recollect Mr. Matthews coming to Lougdeu once or twice, but I cannot say whether it was after his visits that she had the bag. I have sometimes taken in loose letters for her. I have never received a letter myself for her. I will swear that. Ido not get many letters. Reexamined—Mr. Chetwynd was not much of a rider himself, and he knew perfectly well that I rode out witb my mistress., there were two bags, both of which were locked, and I did not know which was my master's and which was my mistress's. A man named Rushton brought both of them and took them into the house. [The case was proceeding when our report left.] THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) M A RLBOROCGH.STREET. sonum,; A LICENSED VICTUALLER. Three girls, named Margont Word, Sonth Rn ?eh nson, and Z'tz,t'Ath Gilbert, and if,, nothdnu,, potman, in the employ of Mr. George Edward Pryor, of the City of Norwich public-house, North-row, were charged before Mr. Yardley with stealing *Dm) gleam and a knife and fork, the pro. perty of Mr. Pryor. It appeared that for some time past Mr. Pryor has lost • great many knives and forks and glares, and in consequence he gave information to Dawson, 301 A, who last night watched the house, and through • hole in the blind saw the females in couvereation with Holmes, and while so engaged take up the glasses from the table. He then watched the females from Mr. Pryor's house to another, and sent for Mr. Pryor, and on Rawlinson found • knife ►nd fork and glass, and at Ward's feet after she had stooped legless, andadbert put • glass on the ground and smashed it. Gilbert and Rawlinson, when charged with stealing the glasses, geld Holmes bat given them to them. Holmes said he was not guilty. and Rewlinson said she took the articles when Holmes was not present, and did it fora " lark." Gilbert admitted taking a glass. The prisoners were all committed for trial.' , STRATFORD. IMPORTANT GOVERNMENT PROSECCTION.—smirrEcG GVNPOWDEIL. Charlet Jarvis and Cann Cantden, in the service of Mr. T. F. Wood, barge owner, were charged by the Thames Con servators with shipping gunpowder on board the Fort Regent while attached to the steam tug Victory, contrary to the act of parliament. Mr. V. J. English appe►red for the prosecution. and Mr. 0. A. larntield, Gracechurch.street, was engaged for the defence. Mr. C. Palmer, inspector of nuisances, said that on the 2od of November but he saw the defendants shipping,. quantity of cases from the Erith magazine- He boarded the vessel and charged them with infringing the act of pulls meat by shipping gunpowder while the steam-tag was at tached to the vessel. The defendants replied they had their masters' orders for what they did, and if he would not leave their vessel they would cut him adrift ; and added, that if he would coins again he would see them ship plenty wore. He did not show the defendants any war rant or authority ; the law did not require him to Lave one, but he told the defendants who he wee. Mr. Paranoid, for the defence, called the owner of the barge, who refused to admit that the cues contained gun• powder, but he acknowledged that the bills of lading stated that the cues contained ammunition. .11r. Farnfield submitted that this vigilance was no doubt occasioned in cuneenuence of the late eatastrophe at Erith, and had taken the defendants by surprise. Before the late explosion no such vigilance was exercised. There had also been bye-laws passed subsequent to the general act on the subject of which the defendants were ignorant, and the said bye-laws said, " That the oonservators shall frum time to time appoint searchers who shall at any time have the power to enter soy vessel above Blackwell." This was not formerly the case, and men like defendants were ignorant that they were infringing the law in consequence of so little publicity given to the bye-laws when pared. The magistrate fined the defendants in the poetical sum of 10a., with W. 6d. costs. He said that be hoped publicity would be gisen to the case, which might prevent such a frightful calamity as that which occurred at Er' ith. THE WEATIIER THIS DAY.—FALL or SNOW...

THE RAPE IN THE ‘VOOD.—A c irrespojent sends us the following interesting particulars with regard to the march, happily successful, for • little child which was lost two days in the woods :—Oo Friday evening last, the about nine o'clock, the residents of queensville, I township of East ti willin.bury, were aroused by word being earned from house to house that • little girl about two and a.half veers of age, grand-daughter of John Collins, of Shams, en d residing with her mother, at the house of 31r. Ira Doan, a wealthy and respectable farmer near Vueensville. had strayed away between 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon, nothing being known of the movements of the child except that when last seen she was going towards the barn. Some sixty of the inhabitants turned out at once and searched in all directions where it wee thought possible for the little girl to have strayed. They continued their search till two o'clock the next morning, when they ' gave it up, thinking that, as it was very cold, the child most have been chilled to death before that time. After dawn on Saturday the march was reiumed, and continued throughout the day without success. On Sunday morning about half • dozen persevering men turned out again and mule further search durieg the forenoon. About smoother received the ietelligeoce that the child was found and alive. Three little boys—Robert Wallis. Wm. Sines, and Silas Soules —haying been sent to search by some women. went to • piousof woods, mid were picking beechnuts and making a noise when they heard a child cry and wept to it, and to their astonishment it was the lost child, and it held out its bands to them sod said "Take rue." They im mediately took it to the nearest house. and the necessary restorative,s having been applied the child was brought round and is doing well. The child had strayed westerly from the home down a lane about half a mile, then north nearly half • mile across the fields into a small piece of woods ' and lay in the thick lessee partly protected front the °old. It is • matter of wonder and astonishment to all how it was possible for the child to live through two very cold nights sad nearly two days, through wet and cold aloes, said having nothing to est but Immo, which it was eating when found.—Toronto Ciao.

Nevertheless, owing to the decline in the !hulk rate of discount, and to the consequent heaviness of the foreign exchanges, the demand fur gold for exporta tion has revived, and about half of the 142,000/. by the Etua, from New York, has been taken for the continent. The steamer Atrato, for the West Indies, will take to-day 14,500/. in gold, and 8,400/. in silver. The silver market is quiet, with little or no bu siness, the telegram from Bombay, which is now several days overdue, being awaited. It is surmised that the machinery of the steamer which is bringing these advice* to Suez has broken down. In consequence of the fall in the value of money here bills on the continent were in demand yester day afternoon, and the rates generally were rather worse for this country.
