not. He went out at different times. I don't rememba If be ever went but before two. Mary Ann Bartholomew—l was servant at Mrs. Norton's, 27, Orchard-street. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis and Major Forster bad two drawing rooms, one of which was used as a bed room by Mr. sod Mrs. Ellis. Major Forster bad • bedroom which he occupied with his son. Great bad also a bed room. One day 1 ran upstairs to make the major's bed, and I found the door locked. I knocked and Mrs. Ellis answered me. She said I should come in in a minute or two. 1 did not wait. I went into my mistress's bedroom, which was the front room on the same floor. In 20 minutes after wards Imw Mrs. Ellis come out. This was about half-past 9or • quarter to 10 in the morning. She had oe • white dremiag gown. I also saw Major Forster come out. That was in about five minutes afterwards. My sister was also servant in the house. On another occasion I went up again about the same time of the day, and found the door again locked. Mrs. Ellis again answered me and said I ought corns in immediately. I waited about ten minutes. Mrs. Ellis then came out and went down into the drawing-room. Major Forster came out in another ten minutes. I have seen Mrs. Ellis go into Major Footer's room on other occasion; • once was before breakfas t pool know whether she left the door open or closed it. She stayed in the room about a quarter of an hour. Have seen her go in after breakfast two or three times. Lieu tenant Elba war an invalid. He sometimes did cot get up at all. When he did it was about 11 or 12 o'clock. Recol lect Mrs. Ellis telling Major Forster one evening at about 7 to go up to the !bedroom and she would come after him. He did so, and she followed him in about Aye minutes. Did not see anything of them again that night till 12 o'clock, when I was going to bed. As 1 was going up I met Mrs. Ellis opining down out of the major's room. She came down very quickly. Mr. Ellis was in bed. Crom.examined—l was in the drawing-room when I heard Mrs. Ellis tell the major to go up to his room. He went in two or three minutes after. I was there till after she followed him. I was laying the tea-things. I took the tea-things away at half-past eight. They were then done with. Mr. Ellis war in the drawing-room all the time. but I don't know whether be beard what had plumed. I Lid tea for three as usual, bat only one cup was used. I have median affidavit in this masa In that affidavit I swear that I knocked at the door on the first mitesion, and, receiving no answer, I tried the door. In fact, I did receive en answer. After leaving Orchard-street I went to live at Mn. Worrell's. I knew a Mrs. Beyliss there. I told bar that my sister Elisabeth had been spoken to by a lawyer, but I did not state that my sister mid he had told her she might as well make a pound or two by her evidence. I know I said something about my sister. 1 told her that my sister was going to be sworn about this case of Major Footer's, but I don't remember any more. I said nothing about the lawyer. I did mention the lawyer; but I merely said that my sister was going to be ewers by him— nothing more. I will swear that I don't remember saying anything more. I might have said something about money, but 1 don't remember. Mr. Serjeant Ballautine—Did sot your sister ask you to say you had seen the major kiss Mrs. Ellis! The witness hesitated. The Judge—Come, you must answer the queetion. Yon can't have forgotten. Witnees—tio. The Judge—Thee why did you hesitate Witairt—litad Mn. Bayliss that I wish ed I had nothing to do with it. Re-examined—Mrs. Baylis is Mrs. Wornll's sister. She had got nothing to do with this matter that I know of. I don't know whetberMajor Forster's attorney had been with her. A Mrs. Gilbert had been with me about the affair and I told Mrs. Bay li ss. Mrs. Bayliss mid I was very 'tepid to have anything to do with it. Had heard Mrs. Gilbert rolled Mn. Gilbert Affleek. Before Mrs. Ellie told the major to go notelet, Mr. Ellis had said that he (Major Forster) would sooner spend all his money ou other people and go without himself. There were nose word' between the major and Mr. Ellis. The major said "Do hold your' tongue, do." It was Mr. Ellis who had tea. No ono else was in the room when I took down the things. By the judge— I have been living with Mn. Gilbert' Affect. for the lan three weeks. Elizabeth Bartholomew, the sister of the last witness—l was also in the service of Mrs. Norton, and I thought that Major Forster treated Mrs. Ellis more like a husband than an acquaintasce. He was very kind to her, indeed. They frequently went out together; Mr. Ellis sometimes went with them, but sot always. Shortly after I went to the place, bedroom, and upstairs to help my sister topreterethe roajor' s and found the door locked. I knocked at the door, and obtaining no answer, I tried the door. I th en p rocee d e d toMrs. Norton's room, and stayed there about a quarter of an hour. I afterwards saw Mrs. Ellis coming out. I also saw the major come out. I have seen her on other coca. irons leave the mice's bedroom, while he was in it. These occasions were generally in the morning ; bat I saw her go in one evening about nine. I was going up to dress. Mr. Ellis was in the dniering.room at the time. I afterwards saw her come out at about 12. She evidently thought that she was unobserved. I recollect Mrs. Ellis taking a bath in her room. I attended on her. The drawing-room door was wide open while she was bathing. Major Forster and Mr. Ellis came in. I said, "There is the major, shall I shut the doorrShe replied, • • Oh never mind, it is only the major." 1 closed the door of my own accord. When she got in bed it was between 9 and 10 at night. I asked her if I should make her a little gruel. She said no. Major Forster brought her some shrimps and bread and butter. I asked Mrs. Ellis if she would require my services any more that evening, and she said no. I then left the room with the major in it. I once came into the drawing-room unex pectedly. The major and Mrs. Ellis were sitting very close together. The major was sitting in a rocking-chair end Mrs. Ellis in his lap, with his arm round her waist. The Judge—That is what you call sitting close together (Laughter.) Witness—l saw him kir her on one °cession. It was on the landing and they were going out. Crossexamined—The bath was a hip-bath. She was sitting in it with her face towards the door. The major sod Mr. Ellis must both have seen her. Her husband was very bad with his head, and did not seem to take much notice. The major laid nothing, but walked away. lam in the service of Mn. Bird, at South Hackney. I have seen Mrs. Atlleck once. She came to me at Mrs. Norton's to ask me about this affair. No one was with her. Mr. Barron (the petitioner's attorney) was the first to call on me. I told him about the bedroom door and about the bath. I showed him Mrs. Affieck's address. I thought he had come first, but it turns out he did not. (A laugh.) I thing to Mn. Bayliss about getting a pound or two. Never was in a reformatory. Never told my sister so—at least, not to my knowledge. I think I may safely say I never did. Never was in a penitenti a ry or h ome • but have been at a Servants' Hone. It was in Kenningan, but I almost forget where. I was there a very short time—three months— and it is very long ago. It was ten years ego, when I was about 12. Mrs. A Meek got me the situation lam now in. Be-examined—The Servants' Home is only for servants out of situation. Mrs. Ellis was quite naked while she was iu the Lath. Mr. Ellis was often very ill, he was sometime delirious. Sarah Loeber—ln August and September Mat I lived at 39, Somerset-street, Portman -square, with Mrs. Hersey, as cook. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis and Major Forster occupied the deawins•room floor. The major had a bedroom upstairs. His conduct to Mrs. EUis was peculiar. They went into each other's bedrooms. Observed that twice. The first time the door was wide open. The major was showing Mrs. Ellis a paper against the window. The other time I only saw the major go into Mrs. Ellis's room. The door was open and I saw Mrs. Ellis there. Emily Goldeworth was my fellow. aeresotat the time. Mrs. Ellisgenerally west to bed first. Mrs. Ellis would sometimes situp with the maj•r for an houror two after her husband had retired for the night. Remember a person calling a week before the major left us. Ile brought a note for Mr. Ellis. She 11114 "This is from th e j ewe ll ers . They want some more hair. She then asked me to fetch her a pair of scissors ; and she cut off some which she put into the envelope of the note, and sent it down be me to the young man. She said it was for a locket which they were going to give to the major. Just before the major went away I saw him and Mrs. Ellis kiss each other several times. They were both crying. (A laugh.) Cross-examined—The Ellises were going to Gibraltar and the major to India. Mr. Ellis was present. He said, " Good bye, sir." and shook hands with him. Mrs. Ellis said it would be a and parting for them when the major went away_. Did not notic e th a t the major was in a feeble state. He appeared to me to be a healthy, vigorous man. Mrs. Gilbert first saw me about my evidence, and then Mr. Lowe's clerk came to me. Emily Harriett Goldsworthy deposed to having seen Major Forster kiss Mn. Ellis. She first thought the latter was the major's daughter. Mrs. J. H. Burmeater, a sister of Major Foster, testified to the friendship between the major and Mr. and Mrs. FJlie. She had often heard him praise Mrs. El i/I'S beauty and gripes'. _ It appeared that the bankrupt bad been insolvent twice before, in 1855 and 1860. She bad let her house furnished to Y. Bloedin, for throe months, at five guleeas • week. Had kept no statement of her profits or receipts. Her furniture had been taken under • all of sale. M. Bleu din wan not in her house six months—only three. Bankrupt had been twice married; her first husband was Mr. Sheen, • commissioned officer in the 6th Regiment She was • pensioner of the East India Company, receiving 1241. a year ; and is six years she had incurred debt. of about 2,0301.

She attended the opening of the Exhibition in a carriage and pair, at the expense of Mrs. Parker. Had had a lase shawl ; it did not cost eighteen guineas, nor yet five guineas. She had two insurances on her life, on which the premiums had been paid up to last Christmas ; they were held by Mr. Clarke, a auditor. Had joined her daughter in a promissory note for 281. as security for her son. Mr. Goodday said the bankrupt bad very improperly come to the court in forma pauper* though she hat a pension of 1201. a year. Bankrupt mid she received it once in gin Igibtlts, and had not a halfpenny when she petitioned thepurt. She was in prison twelve hours without food.

Willias7larisdi 11 ; w74 — ayonniman described as aster living at 9, Great Smith-street, Westminster, was before Alderman Hamphery with obtaining by false pre tences • large quantity of books, to the value of 301., with intent to cheat and defraud Messrs. Routledge, Warne, and Routleclge the publishers, of Farringdon-street. John Pa ' rday, &clerk in ' the prosecutors' employ, deposed that on the 30th September last the prisoner came to their warehouse, and taking out • collecting book, called over the nsmos of the books he wanted, at the same time repre senting they were for Mr. Whibley, • bookseller, of Bayswater, who was • customer of the firm. The books delivered to him on that occasion amounted to 31. 2s. 3s. On the 11th of October he called again and asked for more books, to the value of 2/. Is. 3d., which were delivered to him as before. On the 16th of October he ob- Weed hooks to the value of 61. Is. 2d.•, on the 27th October, 71. ls.

Th e works so obtained were principally copies of Stannton's Shakespeare, in 3 vols. ; Russell's India, in 2 vols. ; and Tennyson's Princess. On each occasion an invoice mule out in Mr.iWhibley's name was given to him. Mr. Thos. Whibley, of 2, Westboarne-plsce, Bishop's mad, Bayswater, said he was • bookseller, and dealt with Messrs. Routledge, Warne, and Routledge. He knew no- I thing of the prisoner and never authorised him or any one else to get the books referred to, neither had he re ceived them. Crose-exammed by the prisoner —He did not know the prisoner in any w ay . _ He did not remember him ever bei ng in his employ. its could not tell if the prisoner was aware of the fact of his having credit at Mews. Kennedy's. Alderman Humphery asked the prisoner in what way his last question could affect the charge. The prisoner said he wanted to show that he did not know where Mr. Whibley had credit, as he had been sent for the books by another party. Knight, a detective officer, said there was another charge against the prisoner for obtaining books of Mere. Dorton and Hodge, of Holborn-hill, to the value of about 41., be tween the 22nd of October sod the 17th of the present month, and there was no doubt he had been victimising other publishers to a very considerable extent. Alderman Humphery remanded the prisoner till Tuesday next for further inquiry. _ _ WORSHIP-MEET. BTU= NORBERT AND VIOLENCE. --- James Scott! ore and Was. Pearso n were charged before Mr. Leigh with stealing a gold watch and chain from the person of Johdart Mitch, and Pearson was farther charged with violently vaulting Sergeant Harris, H division ot polies. The prosecutor stated that last evening, while passing along the Whitechapel-roadlhe was suddenly passed by the prisoner Pearson, who instantly after turned round, snatched his watch from the waistcoat pocket, twisted it from the chain, and was making off, when two gentlemen collared him, and another man picked the watch from the ground, and restored it ; but the chain, which had broken in the act of pullingiont the appendage , could not be found. The two gentlemen alluded to were Sergeant Harris and Ken wood, of the H division, who, having seen the prisoners fol lowing the prosecutor, and well knowing them, were on the alert. Pearson passed the watch to Scotchmore the in stant he was seized, and the latter no sooner found him self in the hands of Keuwood than he dropped it, but made no resistance ; not so, however, with his com panion, who made • most determined one, and in the foulest language swore that he w ould not be taken to the station-house. In the course of the struggle he struck his captor six timer in the mouth, bit his thumb, and kicked him repeatedly in a delicate pert of his body. One woman, who subsequently escaped, incited a mob of persons to rescue him, and called out, ' Give it to him—let him have it, the —." Kinwood at length was able to render assistance by putting his prisoner into an adjoining shop, and subsequently both men were got to the station-hoses, bat not before the sergeant's coat was almost torn to pieces. . . . Evidence was given of a former conviction against Pear son, who it was stated, and not denied by him, had been sentenced, in July, 1839, to three years' penal servitude. Both prisoners &wind the charge; but the depositions were completed, and they were fully counnitted for trial. .-(THIS DAY.) 10. • aaii.

Edward Tuella ILA., youngest son of our respected towns man, Mr. Philip' Mailer Twang, and that the rev. gen tleman has accepted the same. The bishop designate was educated at King Edward's School during the Heed Mastership of the present Bishop of Man chester, and afterwards at St. Peter's College, Cam bridge, where he graduated in 1831. In the same be was appointed • fellow and tutor of St. Columba's near Dublin. In September, 1853, he was ordained deacon by Bishop Longley, of Ripon, to the assistant curacy of Wakefield parish church and in the following year wee admitted to priest's orders. In 1855 be was appointed to an outlying district of Wakefield called Westgate Common, and moceeded in gathering a large congregation in that poor and neglected part, and in raising funds for the crew tion of • church dedicated to St. Michael, the Brat skins of which was laid by the present Bishop of Ripon. Before the church was finished, Mr. Twells was nominated by the view of Hammersmith to the new district of St. John the Evan gelist in that parish, and again had the labourof raising a new church and gathering a new congregation. St. J ohn's Church, Halornersouth,alarge and handsome building, ras commuted in 1858, and we believe has since been the centre of • very important and successful work. The mission to the Orange Free State in founded by the venerable Society for the Pro psgation of the Gospel in Foreign farts, and has been con templated for somayears. The new diocese includes a ter ritory as large as England, inhabited by English settlers, Dutch boers, and native tribes. At present there is no clergyman of our church in the country. The English resi dents have for many years petitioned in vain for ministers. The powerful chief, Moshesh, entreats for missionaries to his people , the Basutos. The government of the free eat. is also; very favourably disposed to the mission. The climate is said to be meet healthful and invigorating. The country consists of high table land some 4,000 feet from the level of the sea, ands bounded on the east by the flourishing colony of Natal, on the west and south by the Outage River, and on the north by the Trans vaal territory. The chief town is Bloem-fontein, which is the seat of government. We heartily wish income to the mission, and are sure that our fellow-townsmen will feel deeply interested in • work beaded by the first Birmingham man (so far as we know) who has in our day beam raised to the episcopate. We understand that the oonsecration of the Bishop of the Orange Free State, and the Bishop of Central Africa, will take place early in the new year, pro bably in Westminster Abbey.—Birsunghast Gazette.

The servant had only been gone • few minutes, when her mistrals, who was left in the house alone, heard • noise in the and oo proceeding to ascertain the cause, she found a man standing in the lobby. In reply to • question as to what he wanted, he said, • I want money." The lady replied, " You shall get all I have," and handed him her purse. ()topsoils( the purse and seeing that it contained only 25., be threw it down, with the exclamation," That will not do for me!" An open closet being at hand, he mid to the lady, "Just go in there, and I won't hurt you," at the earns time pushing her io and locking the door, taking care to "my off the key with him. Re then walked into the dining. room, took possession of a valuable gold watch and chain, which happened to be lying on the table, and got clear off with his booty. When the servant returned she was at. taacted tothe closet by the cries of the lady, and, with the wistaria) of some of the neighbour, broke open the door, and set her at liberty. The thief Ire not yet been appre hended, nor the watch recovered.—Edinburgh Courant. The Prase of Vienna contains the text of an excommunication launched by the Bishop of Olmnts, not against journalists or other writers, but against • tinman of that town, named Pitney, for the crime of heresy. The Press does not state in what the errors of this new hen% siarch consisted, but they must have been mos: clamorous for the first pastor of the flock to have thought it his duty to employ the most formidable arm of the cburch to crook the offender. _ _ _ The Levant Herald says :—"The sudden accession of wealth and honours which we lately reported to have be. fallen Mr. Z., the tooth-drawer who recently operated on the Sultan's molar when Mr. Roes was absent in pursuit of woodcocks and partridges, appears to have affected the poor opsratot's brain. He has, we are informed, lost hie wits, and been placed in confinement in consequence. The monomania that he was surrounded by enemies seized him, and full of this delusion he forced himself, a few days ago, into the preemies of the Capitan Paohs, armed with a revolver. His highness was not du' posed to ' chop with a disputant thus conditioned, and hence poor Mt l . c rs relegation to safe keeping." ; MONEY MASSBT•-(THIS DAY.) Two o'CLoci. The funds remain firm.

Any bill-holders who have not been oommunicated with can receive the amount of their claims by applying at George street. The readers of the Express have already been informed of the new and highly promising attempt which is about to be made to carry out the great international undertaking to the prosecution of which the Atlantic Telegraph Company has already devoted so much capital and energy. Under the auspices of as respectable a body of directorsasever guided the destinies of a joint stock concern, this company, in a prospectus issued this evening, invites the public to co-operate and complete the balance of the subscription for the new capital of 600,0001., which is guaranteed 8 per cent. by the British government upon the completion and work ing of the cable. With a view to popularise the subscription, the new capital is divided into 51. shame, on hich it is probable that no payment be yond the 1/. deposit will be required for nearly twelve months. No deposit at all will be called for unless 300,0001. be subscribed. It is scarcely necessary to observe that there is no promotion money or preliminary expenses of any kind. The scientific eminence of the gentlemen who have been called in as a consulting committee affords the best guarantee that the project will be carried out in the mod judicious manner possible. The names are as follows : Mr. William Fairbairn, F.R.S., late President of the British Association • Mr. Joseph Whitworth, F. R. S. ; Professor Wheatstone, F. R. S. ; and Pro fessor W. Thomson, F.R.S. of Glasgow. The following extract from the President's Message to Congress will show the interest this project is ex citing in America : " I have favoured the project for connecting the United States with Europe by an Atlantic telegraph, and a similar project to ex tend the telegraph from San Francisco, to connect by a Pacific telegraph with the wire which is being extended across the Russian empire." At the meeting yesterday of the India Freehold Land, Colonisation, Trust, and Agency Association considerable discussion took place with reference to the present condition and future prospects of the undertaking. An amendment negativing the pro position for the adoption of the report was sub mitted, and lost by a show of hands. A ballot was then demanded, the result of which will be notified at an adjourned meeting to be held this day fort night. The directors of the Indian Tramway Company have extended the time for receiving applications for their remaining shares to Monday, the 29th instant, the date originally fixed having been com plained of as much too short. The shareholders will meet on the following day to decide upon the proposal to begin at once upon one of the Bombay lines, for which the board have received a tender from one of the most experienced English con tractors, for its completion in 18 months, at a cost within the engineer's estimate. The great value of these works has already been fully ad mitted to those who construct them, to the country and to the existing railways as feeders to them. The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 4021. _ _ We are requested to state that applications for subscriptions to the Mutual Tontine Association (Westminster Chambers Classes) are to be sent in prior to the 22nd inst.

His H onour said the court was directed to judge whether the terms of the resolution were reasonable, sod calculated to benefit the general body of creditors. How could the court judge of this in the absence of the creditors? Mr. Lawrence said the bankrupt held a quasi-public ap pointment, from which be derived an income of Gi.3l. a year. He been induced to enter into fanning speculations, whereby be had incurred a large amount of debt. He now proposed to set aside one-half of his income for payment of 64 debts.

A. 8.417= OF int GREAT WtiFFIRS RALLNAT.—A report has .1 in some of the daily papers to the effect that the above named gentleman, 'Mr. Saunders, had resigned his situation, that of secretary and manager of the Great Western Railway Company. To tbia we an give the most unquali fied contradiction. Mr.B.iunders neither has resigned nor, we believe, has any intention to resign the position which he has now bald from the very commencement of the com pany 30 or more years since. Indeed, if Mr. Sanders were to resign, it would be very unfortunate for the Great Western. No man could be found to MI his situation with anything approaching his experience sad knowledge of the affairs of the company, even if he could rival him in his ability, natirtog industry, and devotion to the interest., of the Great Western, on easy matter, as all who know him are fully aware of. The present rumour of his resignation, we believe, had its origin is the inroad which the excessive labour he underwent in parliament during the last session was found to hare made on his health. It was supposed that his constitution. strong u it is, could not stand • re petition of such bodily and mental labour.— licrapatk.
